Educate yourself.
Because you can't take our a patent on a drug over 10 years old ( if you discover and push a NEW discovery you get 10nyears of monopoly ) there is no incentive to bring to market an old drug.
Ivermectin sells for pennies.
You can spend a billion doing research to prove it works and when you then take it to market YOU GET PENNIES.
it's why drug companies bring out a new , ebet so slightly better variant of their drug for diabetes or blood pressure or depression , every 10 years.
Then they bribe the doctors to prescribe it and the government have to pay them billions of dollars and not pennies because no cheap Indian or Chinese company can copy it for a decade.
Then at the end of a decade the cheap copies come out and the big companies have there next generation PATENTED AND PROTECTED slightly different drug.
Are you seriously saying that an Australian company could start producing Ozempic which is now worth more then Apple or Samsung.
No
It under patent.
Ivermectin is not.
Here endeth the lesson
Oh, we have, dear. We've posted and sourced it in this very thread. Here's a little more education:
The TGA have listed ivermectin a
schedule 4, prescription-only drugIt's a breach of the Therapeutic Goods Act (1989) for doctors to prescribe off-label.
In fact, ivermectin was given a schedule 4 listing to stop people taking it for covid, due to your brainwashed, self-confessed fibs.
Quote:The restriction on ivermectin was introduced in September 2021 because of concerns about the safety of consumers using ivermectin without health advice to treat COVID-19, widespread use of ivermectin instead of approved vaccines and treatments for COVID-19, and potential shortages of the medicine for approved uses.
So, according to the Therapeutic Goods Administration, there's only one way to prescribe Ivermectin to humans in Australia, as a covid treatment:
Do a double-blind study, prove the efficacy of Ivermectin on covid symptoms, then apply to the TGA.
After that, you'd be patenting your drug for covid treatment and giving it a cunning brand name.
Think, oh I don't know,
Covix, Bigdix, Deaeltrix.That, after all, is how the drug industry works in countries with
standards.
Even countries like India have standards. It's just that pharmacists don't always bother to apply them.
This is how we know you've never been prescribed ivermectin yourself. Unless you've been eating your horse's apple-flavoured deworming treatment, it's illegal for doctors to prescribe it for anything other than a topical ointment for head lice, scabies or various parasitic infections.
But look, it's most peculiar, I must say. Here you are telling us to educate ourselves, and you haven't even bothered to do a simple search yourself.
Thanks for the lesson.
