Big Pharma influences high-impact journals to selectively publish (purportedly) negative studies while outright rejecting positive studies from publication. JAMA did it again yesterday.
Not sure why Berenson resorted to such hasty rhetoric. I wonder if he collaborates with anyone or just acts on the molecular activity in his nervous system to be seen as somehow courageous or unbiased?
He has said very positive things about Paxlovid - so you do the math. I think Dr. Malone was right when he called him controlled opposition. Beware of anyone who has ever worked for the NY Times
Bingo. I gave AB an earful (in comments section - who knows if he even read it) for this very reason. He is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, I believe. How many people steered clear of IVM based on his BS? As I wrote on his thread, he has blood on his hands for this reason. Also culpability for vax injury & deaths, since many people took the jabs out of fear, believing that there are no effective Covid treatments. Very disgusted with Berenson.
I don’t think that’s the only reason. I have been following Berenson since he was on twitter and he may be against the Covid jabs, Masks, and lockdowns, but he has never been a believer in early treatment. He was against HCQ and Ivermectin before Drs. Malone and Kory became household names. I always thought it made no sense to see the lies about Covid jabs and lockdowns but be so blind to the war on repurposed drugs.
He shoots himself in the foot more often than most. There was no need for him to humiliate Malone on Fox. However maybe on his site he could have raised concerns about ego driven Doctors in the covid truth and transparency movement. Personally from everything I have seen mRNAs are unhealthy and damaging to the body, so anyone who has been involved in their development should be under scrutiny.
Agreed, except Alex humiliated himself rather than Malone, who came off as a class act by comparison with Alex’s petulant and irrational behavior. Malone is now urgently calling for an end to all mRNA injections and is at the forefront of the battle to end democide and tyranny. Alex seems to recognize neither and is myopically focused on his particular issues, which are important when it comes to documenting issues like vaxx injuries/deaths, but he misses the big picture when it comes to totalitarianism, depopulation, and the larger agenda.
He has been a NY Times reporter, does interviews on Fox, etc. and is scheduled to speak at a conservative conference soon. We're going to see more Republicans flock to this cause, and anyone who can help lead that is good.
You are a speaker of truth and facts. Sad that this has been such a crime on humanity. An alternate universe you have been an inspiration and an extremely honorable man. Who has stood by his principals. God bless you.
He is an inspiration and an extremely honorable man in this universe :-) What the MSM says does not equate to reality—almost always the contrary, in fact.
I with Margaret Anna Berenson needs a dose of reality he has really crossed again another line Berensons integrity or lack there of dimishes with each new substack I think he has a doctors complex he needs to stay on his side of the highway. He is way out of his league. It appears he is looking for a lot of attention it’s pathetic. When it comes to medical treatment and the deciphering of studies I will lean towards the FLCC et al. They don’t have an agenda Berenson seems to. His attack on Fox with Dr. Malone raised my concerns about his professionalism. He acts like a spoiled kid not getting enough attention
There are 100's.. meta-analyses, especially of those treated early are overwhelmingly positive. Even the designed to fail RCT's showed summary benefit in meta-analyses although some were individually negative. Can find every single study here: https://c19hcq.com/. Also not that the way omiron enters cell and replicates ( endosomal pathway) maes HCQ particularly potent, I have had great results in omicron with it, sometimes even more than ivermectin
Hello Dr. Kory, I am just getting over COVID, hit me like a bus, did 4 days from the start on Ivermectin, did not stop the bus from running over me for 11 days in COVID hell....threw the kitchen sink at it...the works and more....sure WHO would call my case mild because I did not go to the hospital but hell it still was....in desperation, even though 11 years ago I publically denied and wrote against it (in my ignorance but had a few good reasons) some angel brought me out some chlorine dioxide.....for decades campers and water system people have known it is the best anti-viral, antibacterial and antifungul on the planet....FDA hates it much more than Ivermectin....much more, but it pulled me out of hell in two days......now I am in touch with some heavy duty medical scientists and I am sold....there is even a book about it by one of these scientists about its use with COVID....I tell you from my heart to you a brave soul....I know your feelings about not being listened to by the mainstream world.....please listen to me, read what I am writing for it is the secret Tiger Tank of Modern medicine yet modern medicine does not want to know about it......please contact me on skype at marksircus or email me at drsircus@drsircus.com
Dr. Sircus, I don't know if you have received the covid vaccine or not, but if you have, you may have had ADE (Antibody Dependent Enhancement). This is what happened to me and I did have to throw the kitchen sink at it. I am 68 and in perfect health, but it was bad. I started IVM on day 1. On day 3 when I was getting worse, I added HCQ and azithromycin. I also took high doses of vitamins D, C, glutathione, quercetin, NAC, zinc, etc. I also had to add dexamethasone, budesemide, etc... I was sick for 3 weeks. I am positive that had I not started treatment on day 1 with the proper drugs that I had on hand, I would have ended up in the hospital and died. I wish Dr. Kory would address ADE, write a column about it.
My daughter came home from travels and was tested before she returned and was positive...not that I believe in or trust COVID tests, but 3 days home my youngest son got sick, next day I got hit like by a bus, could not even drink water my throat hurt so much, thats all I remember from the first day, next day my wife got sick....it was much worse for me, am 69.....so all I can really say it was nothing like any flu I ever had in my life.....yes hearing from others...if chlorine dioxide is taken in the first day it does its job in only hours.......I started at day 11 and though I felt something the first day it was not till the second day of 10 doses that I felt like a rabbit being pulled out of a hat.....
If you started at day 11 does that indicate that the chlorine dioxide acted as an anti-inflammatory, as opposed to an anti-viral? I've read that anti-virals generally don't work well after the first week or so, as the viral replication has already subsided and the disease has progressed to a cytokine-storm phase.
Don't think Dr. Kory will see this but I believe it's still worth asking. Is it possible, or indeed probable, the worldwide IVM manufacturing supply has been compromised to a large extent (it's drug properties)? There is NOTHING the "people" perpetuating this on the planet are incapable of.
The same chemical is used as an antiparasitic, so if it stopped working in that application, alarm bells would start going off.
To say nothing of the deep-pocketed horse fanciers who would phone their lawyers and have someone's head on a pike if their dewormer stopped deworming.
Creating "IVM with no antiviral activity" is a job for a comic-book supervillain, not a chemist in what we call "the real world."
Would those supposed "alarm bells" have the same inescapable ring as those being reported by all of the three-letter health organizations which are valiantly protecting us from deadly injections created by deep-pocketed non-chemist comic-book supervillain's?
I'm unaware of any such valiant agencies, they seem pretty thoroughly captured. I'm talking about people dealing with parasitic diseases whose medications stop working.
Are you aware of any alarm bells relating to antiparasitics ceasing to work, in humans, horses, or any other animals? I'd be interested.
I'd also be interested in any credible biochemical strategy for attenuating the antiviral activity in commercially-formulated IVM without harming its use as an antiparasitic.
Not aware of any such attempt. However, there is a very specific protocol for prophylactic use. Do you have a pet which you treat for heart-worm? Dosage ranges significantly by pet's weight. If attenuated by 1/2, would such prophylactic protocol continue to work for people?
My opinion as an uncredentialed person with what I believe to be intact reasoning capability is that if the dosage of an effective medicine is cut in half, that will almost certainly reduce the effectiveness of that medicine.
As long as the medication is formulated and packaged properly, and the advertised dose is accurate, I would expect effectiveness in dogs, horses, and humans to be as advertised. If a medication is effective both as an anti-parasitic and as an antiviral, I would expect that a change in formulation would change its effectiveness in both applications, or in neither.
I would also expect manufacturers who formulate for horses to be quite careful about mucking with the formulation, because horses are very expensive and their owners can often hire very effective lawyers.
They really have imposed an axis of control over the whole industry. Journals, trials companies & fraud, regulators, media, medical licenses, corporate pharmacies, hospital administrators, government compensation for patients (i.e. remdesivir) - its enough to make a guy "healthcare hesitant."
"254 patients (51.8%) were fully vaccinated with 2 doses of COVID-19 vaccines" Wow, they managed to enroll a bunch of those rare breakthrough cases. I do not trust the "science". The devil is in the details. I wonder what the "standard of care" is. Probably better than the care here. I would guess they were under treated by FLCCC standards. Does not sound like a healthy population and only 13 died. If anything they proved covid is not a crisis.
Thank you so much for writing this, Dr. Kory. As an MD, this did not make sense to me, especially knowing all of the overwhelming evidence that ivermectin works, but I have not taken the time to tear the study apart. Thanks to you and FLCCC, now I don’t have to. I find it very interesting that more patients were vaccinated in the ivermectin group than the control group and just the fact that so many of them were vaccinated. I wonder how that plays into the result as well. In addition, didn’t the Ivermectin group have twice as many obese patients as the control group? We all know that obesity is the highest risk factor for mortality in COVID-19.
I also wonder if the study authors purposely capped the enrollment of patients when it was starting to reach statistical significance for decrease in mortality. I used to never believe this kind of stuff could happen but this whole pandemic has really opened my eyes.
I’m not sure the psychological components of this study are properly considered. When a doctor who has seen a medicine work gives it to a patient, he has some confidence the drug will work and that helps relieve the patient's anxiety. Anxiety, I believe it has been shown, can depress the immune response.
So I think researchers in every medical study should be expected to explain their motivation for conducting the study, what their expectations were, and whether they received any positive or negative social feedback during the course of the study. The study Introduction seems to indicate the doctors were not enthusiastic about ivermectin from the start, and with the study being conducted while controversy over ivermectin was growing around the world, it would not be surprising if the controversy further affected their attitude, expectations and willingness to report objectively.
We are only told that the patients were given informed consent, but not how the issue was presented to them. Were they told they were being given an experimental medicine, and that they should watch for and report any adverse effects as soon as possible? Presenting the issue to them in that way, without confidence the drug would work, could provoke anxiety and possibly increase the rate of adverse events.
Interesting points. Being an open label study, both doctors and patients knew if they got IVM or not. How might that knowledge (and the instructions provided) have impacted the endpoints, especially the severity metric? Psychology can impact biology. And, certainly, psychology impacts what we see, what we attend to and how we react. What is most interesting is why the primary, but intermediate marker of “severity” did not show a difference but mortality did, favoring IVM by near statistical significance. Wouldn’t this suggest that their measure of “severity” is not a particularly good measure of severity? If it was, it should have done a much better job predicting the downrange endpoints, like ventilation and death. In fact, it looks like a slightly negative correlation…fewer non-IVM progressed to “severe” but later died than the IVM treatment group. Doesn’t that seem odd?
Time to focus on patients that need and want your medical expertise. There is a huge market and is growing exponentially. Your decision to start a private practice is wise, desperately needed and will be rewarding.
TY FOR THE REVIEW OF THE PUBLICATION. I had read the “Forbes” article….made me feel ill inside. I thank the FLCCC for continuing to stand no matter how many times the Group, and or individual members have been gut punched… Personally, I suspect I might not have been able to be Y’ALL. You continue to make me Proud. I am thankful I learned the truth so early, all thanks to actually You, Dr. Kory, regarding the disease and treatment of the CV19. Be BLESSED and Stay STRONG….. Y’all are on the Side of TRUTH.
I would add a fourth concern. Open label study. In other words, doctors knew who got IVM and who didn’t. Consequently, the best endpoint in any open label COVID study is: 1) the one that can least likely be manipulated by the health care providers; and 2) is the most meaningful outcome given that the vast majority will survive COVID. Hospitalization, while meaningful as an endpoint, is negated in this study since all patients were hospitalized. That leaves death as the best endpoint, especially since their are no known treatments to reverse it. Now, add the 70% reduction in the death data from this [slightly underpowered] study to the existing meta-analysis data using the same endpoint, and the case for IVM is decisively stronger than before this study, CNN’s, Alex Berenson’s and MSM’s (mainstream medicine’s) gleeful opinion to the contrary notwithstanding.
Dr. Kory - Thank you for all that you are doing for your patients and everyone else in these trying times. You have saved so many more lives than you’ll ever know. You and Senator Johnson are the best!
I would love to see you give Alex Berenson a lesson or two, Dr. Kory:

Oh me too..!! I am furious with AB and have now cancelled my subscription.
I cancelled my subscription as well and am subscribed here. Thank you, Dr. Kory.
I’m just glad I had never paid for a subscription for him. Instead I signed up here!

💯 I said exactly the same to him after the Fox fiasco.
Good question 😆

Jealousy and misplaced pride make him artificially stupid
no kidding!
I just shared this with Alex (https://alexberenson.substack.com/p/on-covid-and-courage/comment/5159939), along with the following question:
“How about the courage to reconsider your confirmation bias in the face of overwhelming scientific evidence to the contrary, Alex?”

I get the feeling money is very tight for him with the Twitter lawsuit which must be very stressful and being on the government $hit list.
I'm waiting for him to run a Substack post titled "Bouncing off the walls, and Toothepaste sandwiches"....
If money is so tight, why is he insulting people like me who are/were paid subscribers? I cancelled yesterday, but I'm paid up for the month.
I doubt money is tight. He’s just being an ass. I’ll do my part to make it tight though. Subscribed for $300. Never again
