Ivermectin is one the worlds super nutrients for sooo many reasons! Which is exactly why it was vilified; no more money to be made from it. It should be in every home medicine chest.

And it was over the counter in France until October 2019, right before the plandemic.

I have been corrected. HCQ is the over the counter in Africa for malaria.

HCQ is for malaria. Ivermectin was mainly for riverblindness. Both work for covid.

Oh yes, you're absolutely correct.

I thought that HCQ was used in Africa. Related to Quinine.

In the ‘70’s, the predecessor Chloroquine was recommended weekly for Westerners living in malaria zones, and it was quite effective. If you caught malaria anyway, the treatment was daily doses of more Chloroquine. Not fun, but better than death.

Did you know that the missionary Dr. Livingstone developed this medication for malaria? I saw that on a Vision Video Biography on his life. It was a fascinating video.

That sounds vaguely familiar. He was a genuine hero. You sent me down a rabbit hole and I found this on archive.org: “Missionary Travels and Researches in South Africa by Livingstone, David.” Looks like he published a personal journal too. I hope there’s room on my hard drive 😂

Rabbit holes are fun 😉. The video covers his extensive missionary journey in all of Africa. Apparently, he was one of the first people to map out the interior of Africa. Some other facts I thought were fascinating is that he freed many African slaves from their African slave traders. Livingstone was so beloved by the African people that when he died the Africans put together a group of men to carry his body back to a seaport so that his body could be buried in Britain. Ten men died returning his body to the British.

Bigger than life kind of guy. American education deprives kids of inspiring autobiographies. I’d always thought of Livingstone mostly as an explorer and wasn’t all that aware of his humanitarian bent. From what I've seen so far, I think he estimated 4 out of 5 slaves died getting dragged out of the African interior. Curious, the heat directed at American slavery when Arabs slaughtered Africans to keep the trade going. That’s probably a cancel-worthy comment.

I worked in the Middle East with a woman who had gotten malaria maybe 10 years prior while living in Sudan. Having had malaria, I guess it remains in your body and occasionally resurfaces. She would sporadically get an attack from it and when that happened she had to take either HCQ or chloroquine for a period time, can't remember which one it was.

My boss from my college days retired to West Africa. He wouldn't take quinine. He died from malaria.
