‘You are not a horse’: Guardian ridicules life-saving ivermectin treatment

Niall McCrae

Vying with the BBC, the Guardian has been at the vanguard of the mainstream media campaign for the covid regime and the relentless vaccination drive. In yesterday’s edition, a commentary by Arwa Mahdawi lampooned self-prescribers of a drug used to rid cows and horses of worms. Ivermectin, an anti-parasitic product introduced by Merck in 1979, has become the treatment of choice for ‘anti-vaxxers’, particularly in the red states of the USA.

Recently, the scaremongering about hospital admissions, patients filling intensive care beds and the ever-rising death toll have been strangely absent from the pages of the Guardian, Times and other covid establishment bulletins. After a convenient distraction in Afghanistan, fear will surely be ramped up again as the schools return, if only to boost child vaccination. 

But for now the newspapers (I suspect by instruction) are glossing over the harsh reality that ten times more people are dying from covid than at the same time last year – when there was no vaccine. These experimental jabs are not only proving to be ineffectual, as shown in Israel where new cases are emerging after a third dose, but also harmful. Fifteen thousand have died according to the American VAERS system, although the true number is likely to be much higher due to under-reporting. Accidental poisoning with self-administered ivermectin is unlikely to have caused a tiny fraction of that carnage.  

This is the context in which Mahdawi scoffs at ignorant Trump supporters who reject ‘vetted vaccines’ in favour of pills for farm animals. They have done their research, these ‘armchair pharmacists’, and ordered ivermectin in such quantities that the worms are wriggling rampantly in the guts of livestock. 

‘You are not a horse’ is not Mahdawi’s line, but a sarcastic tweet by the FDA, which of course is a trustworthy regulator with no links to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation or conflicts of interest with drug companies. Ivermection is an off-patent drug, generically produced, unlike the lucrative ‘miracles of science’ vaccines pumped into billions of arms under coercion. 

Ivermectin use is portrayed as anti-science. But Mahdawi should do more investigative work before writing so condescendingly on people who think for themselves. Research shows that ivermectin works, but the best evidence is observational data. In autumn, India had relatively few covid cases and deaths, partly because of widespread use of tried-and-tested germ killers. Then in early 2021 Modi’s government decided (no doubt under pressure) to launch a massive vaccine programme. Ivermectin was withdrawn by the regulatory authorities.

Inevitably, as we already knew from other countries, the mortality rate surged after the jabbing began. The most likely reason is that the vaccine weakens immunity for two or three weeks, and making people more susceptible to respiratory infections in mid-winter was a dangerous folly.  In India, where a plethora of lethal diseases flourishes in overcrowded and squalid cities, the consequences were much worse. Excess mortality included thousands of daily covid deaths and also victims of other pathogens that were previously tamed by ivermectin. Belatedly, some Indian states have resumed this effective treatment, saving many from the funeral pyre. 

Mahdawi, the Guardian and the media generally drone on about ‘the science’, but they are really pushing dogma and hugely profitable injections that increasingly appear to be doing more harm than good.
