The problem with that is proving they would have been much worse off without it.
Isn't Merck part of this big pharma monster the kooks say are in control?
Why would Merck put out a statement saying "No meaningful evidence for clinical activity or clinical efficacy in patients with COVID-19 disease" and have no interest in clinical trials and getting in on all that sexy covid money?
Does someone have nudes of Merck?
You’re not going to get rich selling a drug that millions of people already take on a daily basis. There is tons of historical clinical data for the safety of both ivermectin and hcl. Yet the powers that be tried to scare everyone by telling everyone how dangerous these proven medications are.
I don’t know why Merck makes business decisions. I don’t what other investments they hold. Maybe the FDA threatened their monopoly on Gardasil. Who knows.
Last year I was actually thinking about finding a clinic that would administer the BCG vaccine. Not sure what the final conclusions will be but early on it sure seemed that countries that required the BCG vaccine had lower death rates in their native populations but with rampant migration to places like England it was hard to differentiate those that died after immigration there vs ones that had received the vaccine as part of their childhood vaccinations.
That vaccine seems to be one of the safest ones and has been around for 100 years. It was never required in the US. It’s ability to boost the body’s immune system seems to be a reasonable alternative to an experimental vaccine. People with compromised immune systems seem to have problems with it but otherwise it has a strong safety record.
