"At the time of writing, the question is still a subject of research. The World Health Organisation and the European Medicines Agency have said that ivermectin should not be used to prevent or treat Covid-19 except in the context of a clinical trial.
Ivermectin does not appear on a list of approved treatments for Covid-19 from Japan’s Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA).
A spokesperson for PMDA told the fact checking organisation AFP: “Clinical trial of Ivermectin is reportedly on-going. However, Ivermectin is not approved for use to treat disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection (COVID-19).”
The chair of the Tokyo Medical Association, Haruo Ozaki, has spoken in favour of using ivermectin to treat Covid-19. However, the association cannot introduce new treatments and only has the power to lobby the Japanese government for changes."
One doctor has spoken in favour of using it, it is not a licensed treatment as of yet and is not the reason that Japan has low deaths or cases as you've been claiming. I don't know enough about the drug to have any strong opinion on it's use or not but you really do jump to conclusions from limited evidence.
He made the announcement 2 weeks before cases just plummeted! I have checked and although ivermectin may not be officially approved it can still be bought unlike in the Uk.I have checked and it’s no problem buying online or in some cases being prescribed by a doctor under emergency use. Haruo Ozaki had actually made a similar call for ivermectin back in February but this was at a time when vaccines were going to be the answer and doctors were still finding out more info. In August when covid cases went through the roof Dr Ozaki summoned the media again to rally all doctors to do what is right and to use IVermectin 2 weeks after his media blitz we saw the results make of them as you want.

I see this said a lot and I just don't get it. What has the government got to gain by duping/scaring people into taking precautions, including wearing masks and taking a vaccine? Also, what has Xmas got to do with it? Are all those covid deaths to date a myth? Someone care to explain their reasoning?

You’ve got two choices Ginny… follow the science or follow the narrative.

Unsurprisingly, the Torygraph selectively quoted what the Doctor actually said which was that cases in young and healthy people were mild (as they generally are for other variants), but that she hadn't see it in older or unvaccinated people yet: As a contrast, here's what the head of the ICU in a Soweto hospital said: Should be noted that South Africa has a crazily high rate of HIV infections (something like 25% in some groups, I think) so these people in Soweto could well have compromised immune systems and be at more risk. Let's hope it is milder than other variants, but there's absolutely no reason why it should be.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/gl.....riant-says-symptoms/Strange symptoms but possibly not particularly severe. Obviously the demographics of SA are very different to here but fingers crossed this new variant is not particularly deadly.
I saw something earlier that said only 6% of SA is over the age of 65. Which isn’t great for getting a true picture of how different it is.

Is that the best you've got? Problem with deniers like you is that you will only follow the science that fits your own narrative. Vitamin D from some bloke on Youtube and Invermectin. You come across like Trump and his insane ramblings about light therapy and Hydroxychloroquine.
