Huh!? Don't call that a "We"
You are the one going back to the dark age not me.
Huh!? Don't call that a "We"
You're taking a very 21st century view about what science is, and who does it. For all of mankind's progress, science has been "done" by a few individuals at the top of their game, and the rest of society, by going along for the ride (mostly in a state of complete ignorance), has got the benefits. I don't mean the heroes of science that we can all name, the field is wider than that, but nevertheless the number of people who actually do science is a vanishingly small proportion of "people".
Nobody understands what you're saying.
@#$! me, you're a genius. It's the same stuff, I can't understand how nobody noticed.montado wrote: ↑Mon Sep 27, 2021 11:46 am https://www.cnn.com/2021/09/27/health/c ... index.html
Covid treatment pills on the way. Curios what’s in the pills, maybe a lot like ivermectin, but with a small change and a new name. Make that 2 dollar generic drug into a 1k Covid treatment!
It does!
Given that it was the best selling veterinary medicine in the world and until Covid almost nobody had heard of it for use in humans, I don't feel too off the mark calling it a horse dewormer.Merck began marketing ivermectin as a veterinary antiparasitic in 1981.[7] By 1986, ivermectin was registered for use in 46 countries and was administered massively to cattle, sheep and other animals.[64] By the late 1980s, ivermectin was the bestselling veterinary medicine in the world.[7] Following its blockbuster success as a veterinary antiparasitic, another Merck scientist, Mohamed Aziz, collaborated with the World Health Organization to test the safety and efficacy of ivermectin against onchocerciasis in humans.[65]
Let's call out ethical behaviour by drug companies when we see it, shall we?The initial price proposed by Merck in 1987 was US$6 per treatment, unaffordable for most patients in Africa.[67] The company donated hundreds of millions of courses of treatments since 1988 in more than 30 countries.
