Indonesia and the ivermectin donation the government wrecked!
CANBERRA, Australia (PNN) - July 20, 2021 - Indonesia has 270 million people and very little COVID - or at least, it didn’t. It turns out a philanthropist was dishing out ivermectin in one of the “largest ivermectin markets worldwide”. Then the government took it over, insisted on clinical trials, and slowed it down, as governments do. Cases rose from 7,000 cases a day on June 12 to 50,000 cases a day by July 18.
Looking at the success of COVID in India, Mexico and Peru, how many days of lockdown could have been avoided if Australia used cheap antivirals? Not only could the latest NSW outbreak be crushed sooner, but if one limo driver had used ivermectin - it might never have started.
Two weeks after the clinical trials began, ivermectin and a whole rash of antiviral drugs was suddenly given emergency approval. Perhaps there was panic?
But the bureaucrats must be under a lot of pressure as the world turns its eye on them. Just hours ago they added a convoluted qualifier saying that this was all temporary for an emergency’s sake, and ivermectin still needed trials, and only their officials could hand it out. We’ll never know, but if a Big Pharma representative was getting worried that the world might witness another ivermectin success, we could imagine him pulling strings for profit’s sake. This is the sort of foggy statement that would make life easier for Big Pharma trolls.
“As it turns out, Indonesia during the pandemic has been home to one of the largest, most dynamic, yet borderline illegal ivermectin markets worldwide, targeting the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. That’s because an enterprising, well-known entrepreneur in his 70s capitalized on growing demand in the world’s fourth-most populated nation with the onset of the pandemic over a year ago. In what seems like an inadvertent, almost haphazard move by the central government to exploit positive sales growth of the drug actually appears to be far more about usurping control from the marketplace - and the people - restricting access to the drug and importantly, appeasing global influencers, such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and various governments that may be positioning vaccines, for example. How else can such a rollercoaster of a story unfold, one where what appears to be a healthy supply of ivermectin to treat COVID-19 people coupled with a surprisingly stable management of the COVID-19 pandemic to a case where the supply became absolutely constrained directly in parallel with the most massive spike of the pandemic starting in June of 2021.
It is legal for Australian doctors to prescribe ivermectin “off label” (meaning for non-standard uses). Even the Minister for Health said so:
Some doctors prescribing ivermectin are members of the COVID Medical Network. They can be contacted via their website and provide prescriptions for prophylaxis and treatment anywhere in the country (covidmedicalnetwork.com)
Share this message with your GP to give him/her confidence that they are legally prescribe ivermectin “off label” in Australia. Every doctor that offers an antiviral treatment or preventative spreads the risk and makes general acceptance so much more likely. We have a window of opportunity here.
Give us the choice. Give our doctors the choice.
