Tomfoolery … Again and Again !

Many of you might be getting tired of hearing incessantly from me about Ivermectin, but these interesting stories just keep popping up. Today, however, I am not going to tell you about another apparent Ivermectin success story in another country, like I did previously with Peru, Japan, and parts of Africa. Rather, I have an Ivermectin story that is daffy … “daffy” meaning silly, dotty, or crackers in Australian.

In September the Australian Department of Health put new restrictions of the use of Ivermectin by General Practitioners. Mind you they prohibited, or prevented its usage by General Practitioners unless it was being used to treat scabies or parasitic infections. The fact that the new restrictions did not ban Ivermectin if it was being used for other conditions, tells me is that Ivermectin itself cannot be an intrinsically dangerous drug. (But then we already knew that from its prior record in the 3billion patients having been treated in Africa.) In a similar use of ill-logic, it was permissible to prescribe Ivermectin if the prescriber was a specialist. Let me see if I understand … if it was prescribed by Doctor A, it was okay. Whereas if it was prescribed by Doctor B, it was not okay. How do you say ‘tomfoolery’ in Australian?

What were the reasons that the Australian Department of Health said were the reasons that they issued these new restrictions? Was Ivermectin dangerous? Did it have a lot of side-effects? Err … not apparently, as the following were given as the reasons for these new restrictions:

-“Using Ivermectin was supposedly discouraging vaccinations.” 

(Is this the ultimate non-sequitur, or what? They seem to be saying … that if one has an effective treatment for disease A, then individuals will not get the vaccine which in the short run should protect against disease A. With the risk of repeating myself …How do you say “tomfoolery” in Australian?)

-“There was a developing local shortage of Ivermectin that was used to 

   treat scabies and parasites in aborigines.” 

(In other words, it was okay to use this “dangerous” drug on the aborigines for non-life threatening conditions, but not on other Australians! How big of a problem could it be to order Ivermectin from India, where it is produced by the gazillions? This is even more “tomfoolish,” if in fact there is such a word.)

-“The doses being touted on social media were too high.” 

(Do those in the Australian Department of Health actually engage their brain before they speak? Logic would say that if the Ivermectin were being prescribed by a physician, the users of the now newly contraband Ivermectin would not have to go to social media, because the physician’s instructions would be right on the bottle. Again how do you say uber-tomfoolishness” in Australian?)

Of importance … never once is there an implication that Ivermectin is not effective for Covid. Has Down Under gone asunder?
