A Japanese pharmaceutical company, Kowa Co, said on Monday that the drug ivermectin has an “antiviral effect” against Omicron and other Covid-19 variants.
The finding was made with Tokyo’s Kitasato University on a joint non-clinical research project, which has been testing the drug as a potential treatment for the disease, according to Reuters.
Kowa says that ivermectin showed the “same antiviral effect” on all “mutant strains,” including Alpha, Delta and Omicron. The company also noted that ivermectin suppresses invasion of the virus and inhibits its replication.
“[Ivermectin] is expected to be applied as a therapeutic drug (tablet) for all new coronavirus infectious diseases,” reads the report.
Of note, Reuters changed their original headline from “effective” against Omicron to having an “antiviral effect,” and corrected a statement that the finding occurred during “Phase III clinical trials.”
Ivermectin is at the heart of an ongoing ‘medical misinformation’ campaign surrounding podcaster Joe Rogan and several expert guests who have advocated for the use of the anti-parasitic drug as an early treatment option for Covid-19 patients. Rogan himself used ivermectin as part of a cocktail of treatments when he contracted Covid-19.
Controversy over free speech erupted last week after singers Neil Young and Joni Mitchell demanded that Spotify remove their music catalog unless Rogan was silenced.
Rogan responded to the drama on in a Monday Instagram video, in which he said he only seeks to have conversations on his podcast with people who have “differing opinions,” and that he isn’t “trying to promote misinformation.”
He noted that he’s booked experts from all sides, including CNN‘s chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta, Dr. Michael Osterholm, who is a member of President Joe Biden’s COVID-19 advisory board, and Dr. Peter Hotez from Baylor College of Medicine.
Rogan also pointed out that many previously-verboten Covid claims have turned out to be true.
According to ivmmeta.com, Ivermectin showed an average 64% improvement as an early treatment, a 39% improvement as a late treatment and an 83% improvement as a prophylaxis, across 77 studies.
As The Epoch Times notes;
Ivermectin has been used by the World Health Organization for over 30 years to treat parasitic infections. Volunteers have distributed the drug in African countries where it has been found to be extremely effective, said the Kowa report.
However, the treatment has been mired in controversy during recent times as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved the use of ivermectin as a treatment for COVID-19, even though the drug is used in humans to treat a variety of conditions.
The FDA has refused to respond to a Freedom of Information Act request (FOIA) asking for details about any reports of side effects related to the use of ivermectin in treating COVID-19 while publicly denouncing its usage.
The federal government pays hospitals across the country to treat COVID-19 patients, but the payment is tied to approved methods, and ivermectin is not part of the protocol.
However, families desperate to save their loved ones are resorting to secretly sneaking the drug into hospitals as a last-ditch effort that often ends up helping the infected person recover.
All or part of 22 countries around the globe have approved the use of ivermectin in the treatment of COVID-19, based on multiple studies. Japan has not yet approved ivermectin for the treatment of COVID-19.
A bill has been presented to make New Hampshire the first state in the country to make ivermectin part of the approved COVID-19 treatments and offer it as an over-the-counter medication.

Dangerous misinformation!
Cancel Japan!
Conspiracy theorists!
Doesn’t matter. Even when the truth does come out, Pfizer has made their billions, as well as Fauci and Gates.
So a few people had to die…
watch how reuters/newsweek ‘spin it’

On Monday, Reuters reported that Ivermectin had been shown to have an “antiviral effect” against the Omicron variant of COVID-19 in phase III trials—which are conducted in humans—citing a press release by Japanese pharmaceutical company Kowa.
However, Reuters later published a correction to this claim explaining that this statement was not true, and that what Kowa had actually found was that ivermectin had an antiviral effect against COVID-19 in non-clinical research.
Ivermectin has been a proven anti-viral for over 50 years. The level of stupid needed to dismiss this is beyond comprehension. The insanity discussed in the fourth turning, part three today, explains some of it.
I think it has understated general anti-viral properties. The number 2 culprit for cancer outside of random chance. There is plenty of literature out there.
IVM also blocks SP at the ACE-2 receptor site AND binds and removes SP from the body.
That’s why they don’t want you to have it.
Supposedly has an alkalizing base. Maybe , a teaspoon of baking soda and water in the morning counter acts an acidic diet?
Usually bitchute ideas disappear but I’ll try again.
DR. ROBERT MALONE’S WIFE ADMIRES BILL GATES & JUSTIN TRUDEAU
Not even close to new news.
Whether it works or not is not the issue. The only thing that matters, is that it does not make millions of dollars for Fauci and Gates. It is all about the money folks.
Actually no. If it was shown to work, much like Hydroxycholorquine, which is also highly effective, its presence in the host of options would have made EUAs for the jabs against federal law, as they are only allowed when there is no other option available. This wasn’t about the lack of money from Ivermectin or HCQ, it was about making sure the plannedemic destruction lasted as long as possible and that the gullible sheep saw ONLY the worthless and deadly jabs as their savior. If everyone was simply getting sick and getting better with very few deaths or hospitalizations (like all the countries with high HCQ use and then Ivermectin use, life would have returned to normal and the master plan would have fallen apart even sooner.
Always about the money.
Terrence Popp of http://www.redonkulas .com snuck Ivermectin into a hospital where his Buddy was dying of the Chinese Virus and after only a few days his Buddy walked out cured because of the Ivermectin. Terrence begged the Doctors to give his friend Ivermectin but the Doctors refused because it wasn’t an “Approved Protocol”. Sometimes you have to take things into your own hands. Sometimes the “Experts” are wrong.
