Question:
How can ivermectin, one of the world’s most useful and safe medicines be a “toxic horse de-wormer” in 2021 and then be declared to have a low safety risk and available for general prescribing in 2023?
Answer:
Only if there is incompetence within the TGA.
In a remarkable about-face, the TGA has finally admitted that general practitioners should be able to prescribe ivermectin without going to jail or loosing their license to practice medicine.
Of all the misinformation and outright lies perpetrated during the pandemic by our health authorities, the banning of ivermectin prescribing for COVID-19 must rate as the greatest mistake. Dozens of clinical trials documented the safety and efficacy of ivermectin alone and in combination with other therapeutics in the prophylaxis and treatment of mild, moderate and severe COVID-19 and the prevention of death. Despite this, Australia’s most senior health officers, much to my astonishment, declared there was no evidence for the clinical efficacy of ivermectin in the treatment of COVID. This incompetence is unforgivable.
The 3 May 2023 announcement, the TGA states:
“A large number of clinical studies have demonstrated ivermectin does not improve outcomes in patients with COVID-19. The National Covid Evidence Taskforce (NCET) and many similar bodies around the world, including the World Health Organization, strongly advises against the use of ivermectin for the prevention or treatment of COVID-19.”

I strongly disagree that the overall evidence “does not improve outcomes in patients with COVID-19”.
Those who have been following me know I have been submitting the evidence supporting the safety and efficacy of ivermectin in many submissions and publications.

Here is my first submission to the National Covid Clinical Evidence Taskforce (21 Aug. 2021) to which I received no reply:
Here is my second submission to the National Covid Clinical Evidence Taskforce (21 Aug. 2021) to which I received no reply:
Here is my comprehensive submission to remove the restrictions on ivermectin prescribing which was rejected by the TGA in February 2023 (and to which there was no reply):
The TGA has never communicated with me on these submissions. Nothing…zero.
It is stunning the TGA and the NCCET could simply ignore submissions such as these in times of crisis.
The TGA and our so-called “health experts” seem disconnected from reality. Why has it taken so long for them to come to their senses?
As I keep saying…….we are not safe in their hands, nobody is safe.
If the Australian TGA cannot tell the difference a toxic horse worming medicine and a potentially life-saving, widely used, essential safe medicine – they should not exist.
At last, doctors will be able to assess for themselves if their patients should be prescribed ivermectin. Will those doctors who have been suspended for prescribing or advocating the usefulness of ivermectin be reinstated with an apology and compensation by APHRA?
I can rest easier tonight knowing general practitioners can use their best judgement to treat their patients on an individual basis without fearing retribution.
You know your stuff Alison! As always with the TGA, the devil is in the detail. The TGA are better than this but if you want to keep your job in Canberra, you must stay within the narrative. It must be soul destroying for many in the TGA. Frankly, I don't know how they live with themselves. The continuing recommendation for Covid Vaccines for babies is particularly obnoxious and gruesome. There seems no limit to the depravity. There is no room for forgiveness.
Wow! Just minutes after Pierre Kory presented at the International Covid Summit in the European Parliament about the Global War on Ivermectin!! One almost has to laugh. But we won't forget that the TGAs decision was truly murderous. This drug and HCQ and other early treatments and preventatives were potential lifesavers but the Australian people were deprived of them and instead subjected to deadly hospital protocols. Wouldn't you love to be a fly on the wall during the latest round of discussions?
