Ivermectin article was very confusing
The medical infomercial by three AB health officials on Ivermectin was confusing.
They say the Nobel Prize-winning drug is NOT approved for curing Covid-19 by our health agencies and that people who use it as such are basically stealing it from people who need it for treatment of parasites. Is there a shortage of Ivermectin now?
Does Ivermectin harm Covid patients?
A “rogue” fill-in doctor in Rimbey, AB, recently used Ivermectin on three ICU Covid patients: two fully recovered and the other was much improved. Just saying.
A silly comparison, but an AB health inspector once told a hardware store that cats are not on the approved list for pest control, and the store must get rid of the industrious mouse catcher.
See how government control works?
Just my opinion.

I am responding to an article in the Oyen Echo from the November 1st, 2021 paper. This was Vol. 52 Issue 41. The article I am responding to is Ivermectin: A Useful Drug, But Not a Treatment for Covid-19.
In this article, the writer is making reference to the well known drug called, Ivermectin. The writer of the article is claiming that the article is to show readers that Ivermectin has not been approved for the treatment of Covid-19.
I strongly disagree with you and will point you to the NIH (National Institute of Health) website. Type in www.nih.gov then, in the search bar, type in table 2e. Then click on ‘Characteristics of Antiviral Agents’. The first drug that has been approved is called Remdesivir.
This drug has side effects that are clearly listed, such as liver and renal toxicity. Ivermectin is the second drug listed as having been approved with very few adverse effects.
I found it interesting that the writer wanted to dispel ‘false’ information. Wherein I found the article to be full of false information. I as well want to ‘correct’ false information, thus my writing to you to show where Ivermectin is a well tolerated, well known drug as an approved treatment for Covid-19.
