Dear Rachel,<\/p>\n

29 Aug 2021 –<\/em> I used to watch your show religiously, having followed you for years. I remember you on Air America and watched your first MSNBC show, I believe on your grandmother\u2019s birthday. You are brilliant, know how to investigate deeply and connect dots. You are an amazing teacher and educate my family members on current events.<\/p>\n

I am a psychologist, with a former practice i<\/span>n psychoneuroimmunology, studying exceptional physical healing, and a political psychologist analyzing psychological dynamics in politics, psychological manipulation of fear, nuclear proliferation, demystification, and conflict transformation. I moved to DC to be near think tanks and do more good. We have a mutual friend, Steve Clemons.<\/p>\n

A few months ago, I stopped watching cable news because I could no longer tolerate the condescending, contemptuous tone. I had been analyzing dynamics, mostly MSNBC, plus some CNN and FOX. I tuned in to your show again on August 20 because my sister told me that your reporting was amazing.<\/p>\n

I experience you as a decent, ethical person with integrity, but am troubled by some reporting that succumbs to corporate influenced groupthink. We need smart analysts like you to challenge and demystify seductive, inflammatory, harmful, mindsets.<\/p>\n

I debate with friends about whether you indeed have integrity and would revise your opinion upon a deep investigation of independent, accurate scientific information, or<\/em> whether you are beholden to your Big Pharma sponsors\u2019 conflicts of interests that promote false information which endangers the public. Big Pharma is by far the biggest US lobby<\/a>, more than double Big Oil.<\/p>\n

I was beyond shocked at your August 20 segment with false, misleading information on Ivermectin that discourages the use of this life-saving drug, thus allowing unnecessary suffering and death while attributing its use to a Republican agenda. https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/rachel-maddow-rips-fox-news-060454042.html<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Since completing this article I saw your August 27 segment, https:\/\/www.msnbc.com\/rachel-maddow\/watch\/new-facet-of-covid-crisis-misguided-people-taking-ivermectin-anti-parasite-animal-drug-119660101526<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Anyone who reads the links and listens to testimonies in this article first and then listens your segment will get a lesson in propaganda. My apologies for this Rachel. I think you believe that what you are saying is true.<\/p>\n

You suggested that<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00b7 Ivermectin (IVM) was only a horse de-wormer<\/p>\n

\u00b7 IVM and Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) have no studies showing they work<\/p>\n

\u00b7 One IVM study was withdrawn because data was faked and plagiarized<\/p>\n

\u00b7 IVM and HCQ are snake oil, mainly promoted by Fox and Trump, insinuating that people who use them are stupid, crazy, and Republican<\/p>\n

\u00b7 the FDA NIH, WHO, and Merck advises against IVM. True, but why?<\/p>\n

I will fact-check these after presenting irrefutable facts about IVM.<\/p>\n

For brevity and flow, there are links throughout and detailed scientific information at the end to establish impeccable credibility and to share. Most people have not seen this highly censored information and are mimicking scripted propaganda to doctors and patients, including several of my loved ones.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 What is Ivermectin (IVM)?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A 5-minute search would reveal that Ivermectin is an inexpensive, extremely safe drug used by 3.7 billion people for over 40 years, that won the 2015 Nobel Prize<\/a> in Physiology of Medicine. It is on the WHO\u2019s list of essential medicines. It is sold over-the-counter in many countries. Merck\u2019s patent on IVM expired in 1996, so it can\u2019t make billions for Big Pharma.<\/p>\n

Originally approved to treat parasites, IVM was discovered to be a \u201cmultifaceted medication<\/a>\u201d with antiviral, antimicrobial, anticancer, and immune-modulating mechanisms beneficial for many conditions. Doctors repurposed IVM for \u201coff label\u201d uses, a common practice. It has been considered a \u201cmiracle drug\u201d by those who study it.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Covid Cure Search Leads to IVM<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since the US government refused<\/em> to explore immediate treatments for Covid, in March 2020, Professor Paul Marik created an expert panel of reputable published treating physicians, the Frontline Covid-19 Critical Care Alliance<\/a> (FLCCC). They formed a task force to search the medical literature for existing drugs to repurpose for Covid, ASAP.<\/p>\n

They discovered Ivermectin to be highly effective for prevention<\/a>, early treatment, late-stage disease, and long-haul symptoms against coronaviruses and variants. Early treatment prevented cytokine storms, hospitalizations, the use of ventilators, and deaths.<\/p>\n

Doctors share data and collaborate on dosage and combinations to make the protocols more effective against the variants. The current protocols, continuously updated, can be found online <\/strong>here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 The First International Ivermectin for Covid Conference on<\/strong> April 24\u201325, 2021 held by BIRD,<\/strong> BRITISH IVERMECTIN RECOMMENDATION DEVELOPMENT<\/strong>, convened by Dr. Mobeen Syed. <\/strong>https:\/\/bird-group.org<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\u00b7 Withholding Treatment<\/strong><\/p>\n

These doctors are practically in tears about the suppression of information, unethical deprivation of early treatment, and censorship of independent doctors who keep patients out of hospitals. Why is this information unknown in hospitals?<\/p>\n

How did almost every US doctor get the same memo? There is no treatment. Do nothing. Stay home until it gets worse. Then go to the hospital.<\/p>\n

Hospital patients\u2019 families knowledgeable enough to request Ivermectin are refused. Three New York hospitals and their lawyers denied patients IVM despite a prescription from their doctors. \u201cIn essence, the argument was that they did not have the right to try a potentially life-saving medication.\u201d<\/p>\n

They had to sue to get IVM. The New York State Supreme Court Justices sided with the patients. Lawyer Ralph Lorigo won three court orders forcing New York hospitals to administer Ivermectin to dying patients. Each \u201cmade near-miraculous recoveries after the Ivermectin was given. In each case, these patients were in the Intensive Care Unit on ventilators, unable to breathe on their own, and universally, after the drug was given, they rapidly improved and were able to breathe on their own.\u201d Ivermectin Wins in Court Again: For Human Rights<\/em><\/strong><\/a> By Justus R. Hope, MD<\/p>\n

These doctors estimate a high percentage of deaths could have been prevented. Dr. Kory calls this \u201cunforgivable.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Propaganda, Censorship, Suppression, Fraudulent Studies<\/strong><\/p>\n

Doctors and scientists promoting inexpensive, unpatentable drugs and combinations with nutraceutical treatments are censored, de-platformed, punished, and suspended. Facebook, Reddit, Change.org<\/a>, and YouTube remove posts on these, citing violation of \u201ccommunity standards.\u201d I mentioned Ivermectin on a FB post and was immediately flagged.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Afraid of the Wrong Things<\/strong><\/p>\n

FLCCC doctors decrying pervasive medical orders to do nothing, passionately warn that not using Ivermectin is dangerous<\/em><\/strong>. It is astonishing how people are afraid of the wrong things.<\/p>\n

People are terrified of taking an extremely safe, potentially life-saving, suffering-reducing, Nobel Prize-winning, WHO essential medicine, but are not <\/em>afraid of allowing the disease to progress to the cytokine storm and beyond. People are also afraid of taking highly recommended supplements like Vitamin C, quercetin, and others but not<\/em> afraid of doing nothing.<\/p>\n

I know people who were given IVM by people who love them who were frightened out of taking it. They are at the center of a hysterical tug of war with friends, relatives and doctors on each side pulling them, causing more stress and anxiety and preventing or delaying early treatment. In my small sample, fear of IVM wins more often.<\/p>\n

In addition to the excruciating frustration of watching people suffer and getting worse when they can be helped, those of us who recommend IVM to help our loved ones are disbelieved, distrusted, accused of believing silly conspiracy theroes and being influeced by Republicans. We lose respect. Our credibility is damaged while provoking new conflicts in our relationships.<\/p>\n

Rachel \u2014 Fact-Checking Your Reporting<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00b7 You reported that Ivermectin was a horse de-wormer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
\n
\n

IVM is one ingredient in animal parasite medications. IVM for humans is safely sold over-the-counter in many countries. Many people procure IVM to prevent Covid or to have handy in their \u201cJust in case Covid kit\u201d of remedies if needed, including IVM, Vitamin D3, Vitamin C, Quercetin, Zinc, Melatonin, Gargle\/mouthwash.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 You reported that poison control gets calls from people taking Ivermectin for animals. True, but why?<\/strong>
\nSince propagandized, disinformed doctors admonish patients against using IVM, it is hard to get. Some resort to available medications for animals, including smaller animals like dogs. Antibiotics, antivirals, and many medications are commonly used for humans and other mammals.
\nCarlos Chaccour, of the Barcelona Institute for Global Health, receives texts from people with infected family members searching for any form of ivermectin. \u201cThey send me a photo of a veterinary formulation and ask me, \u2018Would you mind telling me what dose we should use? It is broadly available and people are broadly desperate and this could lead to misuse.\u201d(High-profile coronavirus retractions raise concerns about data oversight)
\nFLCCC, https:\/\/covid19criticalcare.co<\/wbr>m<\/a>, https:\/\/myfreedoctor.com<\/a> offer telemedicine with doctors who prescribe IVM. BIRD has an Ivermectin Buyers Club<\/p>\n

\u00b7 You said no studies showed IVM worked and one faked study was withdrawn 63 trials, 613 scientists, 2,398 patients, 31 randomized controlled trials 86% improvement in 14 prophylaxis trials, 72% in 27 early treatment trials, 40% in 22 late treatment trials 58% improvement in 25 mortality results and in the 31 r. controlled trials per ivmmeta.com<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

In a review of 51 studies, 50 showed benefits. One claiming a neutral effect was criticized in an open letter signed by 120 physicians, \u201cOpen Letter by U.S. Doctors: JAMA Ivermectin Study Is Fatally Flawed.\u201d IVM is most potent in the first days of the virus. Studies can be manipulated to administer IVM too late and claim it is less effective.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cIvermectin has already been adopted by 25 percent of the world\u2019s countries to prevent and treat COVID-19. Bangladesh, where Ivermectin is broadly used in almost every home, enjoys a 99% lower per capita death rate from COVID-19 than the US.\u201d

\nhttps:\/\/covid19criticalcare.co<\/wbr>m\/webinars-lectures\/<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00b7 You accused FOX News of selling dangerous, ineffective \u201csnake oil\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

You showed clips of Laura Ingraham and Sean Hannity claiming that Ivermectin was effective. Actually, it is, even though it was they who said it.I am not a Republican and no fan of FOX News, but I am not so mindless that I refuse to discern any validity in their reporting. I do not have a compulsion to automatically reject 100% of their content just because it\u2019s on FOX.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

MSNBC, CNN, and FOX are gripped in a pathological dance of compulsory mutual disparagement. You all incite contempt and disdain. It hurts individuals and the country. It fuels a collective cognitive disorder, characterized by black-and-white, all-or-nothing, concrete thinking, splitting everything into opposites. People mindlessly identify in opposition to the other without conscious thought or discernment. \u201cPoor reality testing\u201d is when the perception of objective reality is colored by emotions.<\/p>\n

People are suffering and dying because of the politicization of health. Can you help us rise above this? \u201cWe share the same biology regardless of ideology\u201d from song by Sting, \u201cIf the Russians Love Their Children Too\u201d on Dream of the Blue Turtles Album
\nThere is a terrible reason why doctors and scientists appear on FOX News to report on Ivermectin, HCQ, vitamin D, preventive measures, early treatments, and immune boosters.<\/p>\n

It is not because they are Republicans or Trump lovers. It is because they are blacklisted from MSNBC, CNN, NPR, and Big Pharma-sponsored mainstream media. They would love to be on your show but are censored and ostracized while you tout life-saving treatments as poison.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Rachel, you are too intelligent to be sucked into this drama. I expect more from you. We need you to help us to think more clearly and transcend the opposites. Why don\u2019t you invite them on your show? Why don\u2019t you report on their censorship and the disinformation about disinformation?\u00b7 You lumped Hydroxychloroquine HCQ with IVM as harmful drugs promoted by FOX News<\/strong>
\nYou played a clip of Trump saying that HCQ is working. You said there were no studies showing that HCQ worked. Actually, there are.In Covid\u2019s early days, Dr. Vladimir Zelenko figured out a protocol combining HCQ, zinc and azithromycin, used around the world. He successfully treated over 6000 patients and evolved his protocols to include Ivermectin and \u201cnutraceutical bundles,\u201d potent nutritional supplements which were new to him. Here is an interview with him [hyperlink lost here]<\/p>\n

Here are his latest protocols.
\nIvermectin – Zelenko Protocol for COVID-19
\nThe original Zelenko protocol consists of zinc, low-dose hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin (Zithromax). Based on\u2026
\nwww.onedaymd.com<\/a><\/p>\n

A propaganda campaign against HCQ sponsored by competitive special interests manipulated research methodology by giving lethal doses to older, ill subjects to claim it increased mortality.<\/p>\n

Some studies tested HCQ without zinc, essential to the protocol, to claim it doesn\u2019t work, to manufacture falsehoods, fears and politicization.The purpose of HCQ, a zinc ionophore, is to get the zinc inside the cells where it prevents viral replication. Thus, people still believe myths about HCQ, including you.<\/p>\n

Why don\u2019t you know that the Lancet and the New England Journal of Medicine retracted their fraudulent articles about HCQ?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThis whole event is catastrophic \u2014 it is problematic for the journals involved, it is problematic for the integrity of science, it is problematic for medicine, and it is problematic for the notion of clinical trials and evidence generation\u201d Ian Kerridge, bioethicist, University of Sydney, Australia. High-profile coronavirus retractions raise concerns about data oversight.
\nFrom a personal note from Dana Ullman, MPH, CCH, author of ten books on homeopathic medicine –
\n\u201cFurther, the fact that the Lancet published this study even if there was FULL transparency ignores the fact that THIS study was set-up to FAIL and set-up to \u201cdisprove\u201d HCQ because the experimenters purposefully left out the inclusion of ZINC. Once again, these are FACTS, not theories.<\/div>\n
We cannot assume that the editors at the Lancet or at Nature were ignorant of the importance of zinc because it is a part of EVERY protocol throughout the world with HCQ for people with Covid-19. Then, whenever the studies found \u201ctoxic\u201d and dangerous effects of HCQ, the experimenters just \u201chappened\u201d to use 4 to 6 times its usual doses. The fact that the media ignores these facts is an important part of the problem we are all facing.
\nThe power of science is being replaced on the power of economics on science. Sad\u2026and true.
\n\u2014 Dana Ullman, MPH, CCHDr. Meryl Nass describes 53 strategies used to block HCQ in How a false hydroxychloroquine narrative was created, and more which \u201cproduced a unified message about hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), and produced similar policies about the drug in the US, Canada, Australia, NZ and western Europe. The message is that generic, inexpensive hydroxychloroquine (costing only $1.00 to produce a full course) is dangerous and should not be used to treat a potentially fatal disease, Covid-19, for which there are no (other) reliable treatments.\u201d
\n\u201cHydroxychloroquine has been used safely for 65 years in many millions of patients. And so the message was crafted that the drug is safe for its other uses, but dangerous when used for Covid-19. It doesn\u2019t make sense, but it seems to have worked.\u201d\u00b7 You asserted that the FDA NIH, and WHO advise against Ivermectin. True, but why?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
These agencies are captured by Big Pharma and Big Insurance. With numerous patents, royalties, hidden sources of profit and international connections, a campaign to get shots into 7.5 billion arms, they make fortunes from the \u201cvaccines\u201d and are positioned to capture the entire world market with endless boosters for fading efficacy and infinitely mutating variants. In addition they use fear to promote vaccine passports, surveillance, and control of personal data and social control.
\nWhile suppressing cheap IVM and HCQ, the FDA encourages the use of Gilead\u2019s patented Remdesivir on Emergency Use Authorization for $3200 a person. Remdesivir has very little benefit and serious side effects. On your August 27 show you reported that IVM caused liver and kidney damage. It does not. Remdesivir does. See \u201cRenal and liver injury following the treatment of COVID-19 by remdesivir\u201d in the Journal of Nephtopathology and elsewhere.
\nIVM is approved by the FDA but NOT for Covid.Emergency Use Authorization can only be granted if no other effective treatments exist. If every doctor used IVM to prevent or treat early Covid, or if everyone could buy it over the counter and people were kept out of hospitals, there would be no legitimate need for new drugs and \u201cvaccines.\u201dDoctors in the FLCCC, BIRD and others are exploring plausible ways to end the pandemic in a short time, with IVM as a significant part of the solution, based on data where it has widespread use.

Questions for Rachel<\/h3>\n
\n

Am I right in my debate with my friends in believing that you would be willing to revise your reporting based on investigation of suppressed facts and independent science?<\/p>\n

Are you free to speak the truth or are you beholden to your Big Pharma sponsors to promote falsehoods for their profit?<\/p>\n

Might you evolve your rhetoric and help soften the intolerable disparagement and help us transcend the hostile right\/left split? Might you create a space for amicable dialogue and enlightenment?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Challenges for Rachel<\/h3>\n
I challenge you to Invite Drs. Pierre Kory and Peter McCullough on your show to explain Ivermectin, prevention and early treatment. Invite Dr. Meryl Nass on your show to explain the anatomy of conducting fraudulent studies to create false narratives, and about IVM and other aspects of Covid.
\nDo a story on censorship of IVM and doctors who use it and what is behind it.<\/div>\n
Do a segment on the relationship between vitamin D levels and Covid survival and natural protocols that boost immunity, perhaps a story like this, New initiative to deliver immune support You can help empower people to take some control of their own health.<\/div>\n
\n

Review your show\u2019s policies, staff and process of vetting information for scientific accuracy and conflicts of interest.TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCES<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am very sorry for the Covid trauma that you went through with your partner, Susan. I am grateful that she survived. I hope she is well. Imagine if she had been given IVM in the first days and if you could have taken it prophylactically to be with her during a brief, untraumatic recovery.<\/p>\n

Rachel, you have a huge, loyal following, a brilliant mind and are an awesome teacher. You are in a position to raise consciousness, badly needed, and to do nothing less than reduce suffering and save lives by speaking the truth about IVM.<\/p>\n

This is not about right and left, but about life and death.
\nYou have literally before you a choice between life and death, health and sickness, truth and lies, integrity and complicity.\u00a0 \u201cI have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life\u201d. DEUTERONOMY 30:19\u00a0 We all need you to choose life.<\/p>\n

\nTo date, the efficacy of ivermectin in COVID-19 has been supported by the following:
\n1. Since 2012, multiple in vitro studies have demonstrated that Ivermectin inhibits the replication of many viruses, including influenza, Zika, Dengue, and others.9\u201317
\n2. Ivermectin inhibits SARS-CoV-2 replication and binding to host tissue through several observed and proposed mechanisms.18
\n3. Ivermectin has potent anti-inflammatory properties with in vitro data demonstrating profound inhibition of both cytokine production and transcription of nuclear factor-\u03baB (NF-\u03baB), the most potent mediator of inflammation.37\u201339
\n4. Ivermectin significantly diminishes viral load and protects against organ damage in multiple animal models when infected with SARS-CoV-2 or similar coronaviruses.31,32
\n5. Ivermectin prevents transmission and development of COVID-19 disease in those exposed to infected patients.40\u201345
\n6. Ivermectin hastens recovery and prevents deterioration in patients with mild to moderate disease treated early after symptoms.45,49\u201352,61,62
\n7. Ivermectin hastens recovery and avoidance of ICU admission and death in hospitalized patients.45,51,53,63\u201366
\n8. Ivermectin reduces mortality in critically ill patients with COVID-19.45,53,63
\n9. Ivermectin leads to temporally associated reductions in case fatality rates in regions after ivermectin distribution campaigns.48
\n10. The safety, availability, and cost of ivermectin are nearly unparalleled given its low incidence of important drug interactions along with only mild and rare side effects observed in almost 40 years of use and billions of doses administered.75
\n11. The World Health Organization has long included ivermectin on its \u201cList of Essential Medicines.\u201dConclusions:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Meta-analyses based on 18 randomized controlled treatment trials of ivermectin in COVID-19 have found large, statistically significant reductions in mortality, time to clinical recovery, and time to viral clearance. Furthermore, results from numerous controlled prophylaxis trials report significantly reduced risks of contracting COVID-19 with the regular use of ivermectin. Finally, the many examples of ivermectin distribution campaigns leading to rapid population-wide decreases in morbidity and mortality indicate that an oral agent effective in all phases of COVID-19 has been identified.<\/div>\n
The Panel found the certainty of evidence for ivermectin\u2019s effects on survival to be strong and they recommended unconditional adoption for use in the prophylaxis and treatment of COVID-19.
\nIn summary, based on the totality of the trials and epidemiologic evidence presented in this review along with the preliminary findings of the Unitaid\/WHO meta-analysis of treatment RCTs and the guideline recommendation from the international BIRD conference, ivermectin should be globally and systematically deployed in the prevention and treatment of COVID-19.<\/div>\n
