A Japanese pharmaceutical company, Kowa Co, said on Monday that the drug ivermectin has an "Antiviral effect" against Omicron and other Covid-19 variants.
Kowa says that ivermectin showed the "Same antiviral effect" on all "Mutant strains," including Alpha, Delta and Omicron.
Now says ivermectin showed "Antiviral effect" instead of "Effective" against Omicron.
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.
The treatment has been mired in controversy during recent times as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration 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.
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.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
