Fact: the people who make ivermectin literally give it away, and have pledged to do so "for as long as needed" to eliminate parasitic diseases. Look up Mectizan Donation Program. Mectizan is ivermectin. No one was ever hiding this drug from us.

Last flu season my 9-year-old contracted flu and lost 10 pounds in the course of 2 weeks. Fortunately she never needed to be hospitalized, a miracle I attribute to her having had her flu vaccine. I'm so sad for Zach and other parents who are not so fortunate.
