Studies, speeches, opinions and the like don't mean much to me, mostly because so much of it turns out to be crap, especially from the liberal side. But I can speak from personal experience on Ivermectin. It actually works, especially when taken at the first sign of COVID symptoms. And usually I don't mind hearing thoughts from all sides but on this issue I really don't need a libs opinion. Thanks in advance.
There are also people who didn't take anything and still had mild or no symptoms of Covid. And there are people who took Ivermectin and pooped out intestinal lining for days after. These and your paragraph are examples of anecdotal evidence that may or may not apply to people who take Ivermectin. In clinical studies Ivermectin doesn't work.
In clinical studies of the vaccines, they had thousands of people get the vaccine and showing few side effects and most (not all) showed resistance to COVID, and in cases where they still got COVID, they had milder than average symptoms. Also in the clinical studies, they had the control groups who didn't get the vaccine and that's how they compare the effectiveness.
On the other hand, skeptics point to the people who still got COVID after the vaccine and say it's worthless, and that the best way is "natural immunity" by getting COVID first, and depending on those antibodies, but lots of people get COVID more than once. Many get long COVID or even die.
The subsequent strains aren't helping.
