I am trying to stay off -line and stop trying to “engage” these geniuses. The more I try to engage , the worse it becomes. This diary story came about after an encounter with some Ivermectin advocates and they knowledge of “free market capitalism” they advocate
Of course everything is a vast conspiracy involving the government, George Soros, Socialists (another topic) and the “usual suspects “ I suppose Saul Alinsky is involved as well Maybe Hillary to but you see where this goes.
Let me start by posting a statement from Merk (a publicly traded company and the manufactures of the Hoarse Paste) on the use of Ivermectin for treating COVID-19

February 4, 2021 11:45 am ET
KENILWORTH, N.J., Feb. 4, 2021 – Merck (NYSE: MRK), known as MSD outside the United States and Canada, today affirmed its position regarding use of ivermectin during the COVID-19 pandemic. Company scientists continue to carefully examine the findings of all available and emerging studies of ivermectin for the treatment of COVID-19 for evidence of efficacy and safety. It is important to note that, to-date, our analysis has identified:
- No scientific basis for a potential therapeutic effect against COVID-19 from pre-clinical studies;
- No meaningful evidence for clinical activity or clinical efficacy in patients with COVID-19 disease, and;
- A concerning lack of safety data in the majority of studies.
We do not believe that the data available support the safety and efficacy of ivermectin beyond the doses and populations indicated in the regulatory agency-approved prescribing information.
Indications and Usage for STROMECTOL® (ivermectin)
Ivermectin is approved in the United States under the brand name STROMECTOL. STROMECTOL is indicated for the treatment of intestinal (i.e., nondisseminated) strongyloidiasis due to the nematode parasite Strongyloides stercoralis and for the treatment of onchocerciasis due to the nematode parasite Onchocerca volvulus.
STROMECTOL has no activity against adult Onchocerca volvulus parasites.
SELECTED SAFETY INFORMATION FOR STROMECTOL® (ivermectin)
Contraindications
STROMECTOL is contraindicated in patients who are hypersensitive to any component of this product.
I was told that these folks know more than the people who manufacture and market the drug.
I tried to explain to these folks “You are telling me that the CEO of a company is withholding information about the efficacy of a drug they manufacturing in treating and curing a life threatening pandemic.
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO THE VALUE OF THE STOCK IF THE TREATMENT WAS EFFECTIVE? THEY WOULD BE POUNDING ON THE FDA’S DOOR YOU WOULD SEE IVERMECTIN COMMERCIALS 24/7 LIKE THOSE AWFUL CIALIS COMMERCIALS NOT TOO LONG AGO
I bolded these phrase to call attention to the ignorance of this group. These folks are believers in “Free Market Capitalism” This is the system they advocate and defend (often at the risk of their own livelihood ) I continued
DO YOU KNOW THE ROLE OF THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND , HIS RESPONSIBILITY TO THE STOCK HOLDERS ? WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THE STOCK HOLDERS DISCOVERED THAT THE COMPANY WAS NOT PURSUING A MEANS TO INCREASE THE VALUE OF THEIR INVESTMENT (STOCK) IF IVERMECTIN HAD ANY PROVEN EFFICACY AGAINST COVID-19, THE STOCK PRICE WOULD BE “THROUGH THE ROOF”

This was dismissed as my “Opinion” and part of some other conspiracy. This is the system you idiots advocate and defend. I am an active member of DSA and I don’t like this system but this is how it works What’s the use If you are going to defend Capitalism and attack Socialism, at least try to understand how they work …….
