Editor’s Note: Dr. Pierre Kory brought ivermectin’s remarkable efficacy against covid-19 to global attention with his December, 2020, Senate testimony, which received nearly nine million YouTube views before Google/YouTube censored it. As he continues to lead the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance and treat covid patients in private practice, Kory is making a historical record of his witness of the government and media corruption that has kept repurposed drugs out of the hands of doctors and covid sufferers. This guest post is part one of the series.
As one of the world’s leading experts on the clinical use of ivermectin in covid-19, I feel that it is my personal responsibility to try to create a historical record of the myriad actions taken against ivermectin by the global vaccine and pharmaceutical industry due to ivermectin’s long known and now proven role as the single greatest solution to the global pandemic.
All subsequent “Disinformation Campaign Against Ivermectin” posts should be understood in this vein. My previous post of my recent testimony in Senator Ron Johnson’s historic expert panel hearing detailed the incredible efficacy reported by the numerous health ministries around the world that deployed ivermectin in early treatment programs. Note that I did not even bother to detail the sixty-eight of seventy-seven controlled trials involving 86,000 patients from twenty-six countries (many of them prospective, double blind, randomized controlled trials) that collectively report massive reductions in infections, hospitalizations, and deaths, nor the dozen systematic reviews and meta-analyses (summary analyses of all the trials) that report the same. Nor did I present the analyses done after removing all the trials being attacked as low quality or “potentially fraudulent”—which actually found the signals of benefit increased.
I am tired of presenting the efficacy data. The “debate” of the efficacy of ivermectin has long ceased to be a “data argument,” despite the attempts to make it one by claiming the world over that it’s efficacy is “unproven” due to the supposed fact that these many dozens of trials are all low quality, small, and/or fraudulent. For sure, such assertions have successfully injected such doubt that the near entirety of academic medicine in nearly all the world’s countries have accepted it as scientific truth. These assertions can and should only be understood as a massive global propaganda and censorship campaign against the efficacy data. That is why I believe the only way forward is to expose each and every one of “their” disinformation tactics. If I am successful in doing this, it is my hope that this may begin to help end the decades-long war of the pharmaceutical industry against repurposed, generic medicines.
I feel the case of ivermectin may be a unique opportunity given that, in their pervasive war on numerous off-patent, effective therapies in dozens of disease models over decades, never has a single generic drug posed as large a threat to industry profit, nor have they ever committed such openly brazen and widespread criminalities using unprecedented levels of informational control. It is my belief and hope that their insane and relentless over-reach to protect profits in the global pandemic, similar to Napoleon’s foray into Russia, just may have opened an opportunity to so fully expose their deadly tactics that we can begin to counter them on a global scale.
