Still can't understand why you don't post a link to the material you are bringing up, Cunt. It is standard practice here.
It doesn't matter though. Lawrie is not only pushing ivermectin, she's advocating an anti-vaccine position. She bases that on the UK Yellow Card system which has all the same problems as the American VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System). They are both set up for the public to report what they believe to be reactions to the vaccine. They produce raw un-vetted data which serious researchers do not consider definitive.
Yeah, the yellow card system isn't a robust dataset or a research or diagnostic tool - just one element contributing to the identification of possible trends for further investigation. While medical practitioners and patients can both report side effects and other incidents related to medicines, treatments and devices, generally patients are encouraged to do so by their doctors when concerns arise, so there is a kind of low-level medical filter on the basic info.

I just got done with the podcast Cunt was trolling us with, and there wasn't much new except the damage control from that paper that was withdrawn, and Lawrie's flawed reliance on adverse reaction reporting.
The most glaring thing about these people's position is that they oppose clinical trials, when those would provide massive support if they showed Ivermectin to be as effective as they claim. Added that the primary basis for their opposition is ad hominem, postulating a conflict of interest unsubstantiated by evidence, their arguments don't make sense.
They should be pushing for the scientific and medical to follow established procedures for new drugs. That they don't is concerning.
Full disclosure, I've been buying Ivermectin for about 5 years now as a heart worm preventative for our dog. It comes highly recommended.
