Inveermectin  is used in humans yes. But people are using the animal version which has side effects as the doses wildy differ. Hence why you go see your gp for it and don't use it for covid

Yup. People should be talking to their GP. It's just interesting that MSNBC etc have quickly labelled it horse dewormer and demonised it all. It just reinforces this idea of conspiracy.

Isn't it better to simply say: this is a drug used for other purposes. There are ongoing clinical trial and the best option now is to get vaccinated. There are also other known treatment options if you do get COVID.

Well the idiots are taking horse dewormer though.   

Some are. But the media are then pushing the false narrative that these people are clogging up the hospital system. 

The goal is to get as many people vaccinated and I think talking down to those people isn't going to convince them and will just drive a harder wedge. 

- Was listening to Triple J this morning in the car and Dr. Karl was on. He said (and I am paraphrasing here) it's likely the whole world's population will need to be vaccinated every 6 months for the next 50 years or so. If this is the generally accepted consensus, the amount of money to be made and power up for grabs is mind-boggling. Anybody who develops a vaccine or shares information that threatened to derail that gravy train would be in great danger. 

- The NSW government announcement on vaccine passports (and that's exactly what they are, no matter how they try to couch it in euphemisms) is completely the wrong move. They're effectively setting up a two-tier society and the fact is that there are going to be plenty of people who aren't fully vaccinated or even halfway there in a months' time. I also heard that vaccination rates in NSW are beginning to slow down- and is it any wonder when the government comes out and tries to manipulate the population into doing what they want while holding their basic freedoms hostage? Why should the vaccine hesitant or the skeptics not expect us to reach that 'magic' 70% number only for government to turn around and say "Actually we need it to be 80%/ 90% now to go back to normal?" By taking this hard-line approach, they're only making it more difficult to achieve their goal.

The biggest health crisis in a century about to get worse, with things changing almost daily, and public info absolutely critical, and the government has nobody to answer questions and be accountable?

Also how does this look as a leader? 

Not to mention the absolute basics of information only being available on a video on NSW health website. Do you know how harder that is going to be to get critical messaging to the masses? Are news networks supposed to play that video? 

Going out on a limb here I think this isn't as bad as people are trying to make out. Covid is here, they can't stop it, hurry up and get vaccinated and we can get on with it.

My mate sent me something about Singapore and how they're having a resurgence in cases as an up yours to me who's saying let's open up. To me it just shows that if Singapore can't make it work and contain then we definitely can't so let's get everyone who wants to and can be vaccinated and open 'er up.

Fucks sake.

How? When people are litterally buying horse dewormer instead if the human one

If you have Astrazeneca Dr Swan was saying you won't need a booster or if you do it'll be yearly if not longer.

Serious question. What's your solution?

Let everyone become naturally immune?

I'd like to see the development of treatment/ treatments that stop the person from getting COVID outright,

Like a vaccine?

If everyone took it up we probably could get close to this position, like we have with a huge amount of viruses and diseases through modern history.
It's going to be hard/impossible to stop it entirely, for example we still have the bubonic plague.

Let's also see more discussion about getting other vaccines available to the Australian public if (based on available data) they appear safer and also more effective at immunising people against COVID.
