  1. He is also a bullshit merchant, pedalling snake oil.

  2. You have no idea that it has saved lives. None at all. You're helping to spread an unsupported myth. When there is any evidence to support its use in covid patients, come back to me and share a link, won't you.

  3. Well, it does an amazing job unless it dies. It would be ridiculous to extrapolate from your experience across a population.

  4. There is nothing in your story which suggests Ivrmectin played any role. Just another anecdote.
    12
  5. Anecdotes, anecdotes, anecdotes. When there is a proper trial showing it is efficacious then fine, but at the moment there is no such evidence. Go to the Cochrane site, who summarise all of the trials. There have been dozens and dozens of (mostly poor) trials, and there is no evidence to support its use for Covid.

  6.  @stuartcotterill9475  No, he said he tested positive for covid. Covid is not flu.

  7.  @jonathanhart8659  The irony of not being able to spell "you're" whilst telling someone they're unclever...... Never mind the idiotic comment about vaccines causing the disease.

  8. It is not unbiased. Not even slightly unbiased. He has been advocating for ivermectin for months with no evidence in support of his claims.

  9. Don't be silly. People die all the time. There is no evidence that 1223 people died as a result of the vaccination.

  10.  @altergreenhorn  That is not something you can deduce from Magnus' post, nor, indeed, from national figures. I suggest you've plucked it out of the air to suit your own agenda.

  11.  @sammywhite9906  I'll dispute it. It is certainly safe and cheap, but there is no good evidence that it works against covid. None.
    7
  12. There have been dozens and dozens of trials. There is nothing in those trials to suggest it works for Covid.

  13.  @jonz23m  No, it's a disease that's killed millions. We took precautions, and we developed vaccines to reduce its effects. What else might you have expected us to do?
    6
  14. These are early figures. Give it a week or two, and I reckon you'll see some movement in the direction you are suggesting.

  15. Japan is suffering high levels of Covid at the moment: a 6th wave. I-tin proponents seem to ignore this whenever it happens....like they insist we should have followed Sweden's protocols, but fail to mention Sweden's Covid death rate is 4 to 7 times as high as its neighbours.

  16.  @jonathanhart8659  Are you not able to understand simple statistics? The vaccinations keep you alive, but don't stop you catching the disease.

  17.  @billyt9921  No, the British have always had a very good vaccination rate, which is the reason our kids didn't have measles or mumps until the anti-vaxxers got to work.

  18.  @janmarsh  Sod cover ups. Sod your conspiracies. Show me a paper publishing the results of a proper study. Can't do that? Then stop whittering on about the damn drug.

  19. Acquiring natural immunity involves the risk of dying of covid...that's the real reason, not your silly trumped-up conspiracy theory about profit.
    5
  20. Still plugging this? No evidence in its support, but you go on and on about it. Not one single double blinded random trial has shown it has efficacy against covid, but it's become such a cause celebre amongst the anti-vaxxers that you plug it endlessly just to get site traffic. Pretty pathetic.
    5
  21.  @peterholt4806  The fact is that I-tin has failed to show efficacy in dozens of studies, and there have been some poor and indeed fraudulent studies which have shown it working. There hasn't been a decent double blind randomised study that has reported any findings. So, for the life of me, I can't understand why a drug should be getting such hype from the usual suspects when there is nothing to suggest it works.......and yet these same people will do anything to resist vaccinations despite overwhelming evidence they do work. It's almost as if evidence means nothing to them.
    5
  22. No, we DON'T know it works. There have been dozens of trials, and they haven't substantiated it as having any efficacy whatever. Go to Cochrane for a summary of the trials.

  23.  @undercoveragent9889  There are 200 countries which the CDC doesn't cover, and they've all got Omicron whether they know it or not. Grow up, and get over your silly conspiracy theories.

  24. Bolsonara has supported every quack solution to covid, including denying it was an illness at all. He also doesn't support vaccination, the safest and most effective weapon in the fight against covid. There's a good reason why the Braziallian death rate from covid is amongst the highest in the world.
    4
  25.  @KevinTalbotTV  Because being unvaccinated means you are 32 times more likely to die if you catch covid. Vaccination works brilliantly at keeping people alive, but less well at at stopping people getting the illness in the forst place.

  26. My marathon-running long-distance-cycling fit-as-a-flea wife nearly died of covid in 2020, in the same month as my mother died of it. Does your little anecdote cancel mine?

  27.  @marknunya3107  How many fatal car accidents does Britain have in a year? How much of a difference would those make to the covid death figures? If you need a clue, just let me know.

  28.  @johnsmith-ce2tq  Don't be ridiculous. Honestly, I despair for your education system, wherever you're from. The vaccines are working beautifully. They've kept millions alive who would otherwise have died. The unvaccinated are dying at 32 times the rate of the vaccinated. Vaccines are keeping people alive and out of hospital, which is precisely what they were designed to do.
    4
  29.  @veganath  It's a dreadful study. Self-selecting and self-reporting do not make a proper study. There was no double blinding or randomisation. Complete crap. The worst that could happen is that people take Ivermectin instead of getting vaccinated, and millions more die unnecessarily as a result. That's all.
    4
  30.  @billmoore3872  The facts, hey? Neither ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine have any evidence whatever in support of their use against covid. In fact the latter produced worse outcomes than having no intervention at all when it was clinically trialled. Vitamins are only an issue at the margins, and only relevant if you have a deficiency. How about another fact: the unvaccinated have been dying of covid at 32 times the rate of the vaccinated. So, does your favourite nurse count those as facts? If not, why not? (Hint..snake oil, and Youtube hits).

  31.  @fufu1128  It's alway amusing when an anti-vaxxer calls the vaccinated "stupid", given the strong correlation between vaccine uptake and educational achievement. For those anti-vaxxers who found that sentence difficult to follow, it means that the intelligent got vaccinated, and the less intelligent didn't. There's a ton of science on that, if you want to check.

  32. You make too many ill-informed and false throw-away comments. Today's example was "we have natural immunity to every other type of pathogen". This sort of false statement is taken by anti-vaxxers and used out of context to further their nonsense. Could you please make sure you revisit this in your next video and correct yourself. As you well know, there are pathogens we have or had no immunity to (Marburg, Ebola, HIV, BSE and on and on.....), and pathogens which we don't even know exist. Please try to avoid making these silly mistakes, as lots of people seem to follow you. You might also re-iterate that acquiring natural immunity to a novel pathogen means catching the disease, and the next one along might not have a mortality rate of less than 2%.

  33. Classic John Campbell self-selecting of results......giving a big tick to the one which gives the results this snake-oil salesman wants to see, and then call into question or ignore completely the studies which don't support his view. Well, with 2.3 million mainly vaccine-sceptical subscribers to keep happy, that's what you get.

  34.  @bluntly2165  .....yep, increase you chances of staying alive. Exactly as intended.

  35.  @SparklesNJazz  Oh grow up. That's childish nonsense. So what if I-tin has fewer side effects than Ibuprofen, if it doesn't work? And when you've got a decent study which shows it working, then come back to me.

  36. I should have stopped at "I believe....". The rest is just a tale of someone getting better from covid (or similar) in the normal way. Correlation, people, is not causation.
    3
  37.  @tictactoedias1908  Because there are people swayed by this sort of nonsense. If I can get a few people to read some science instead of relying on the tittle-tattle on Youtube, and this site in particular, it will be worth my while.

  38. He doesn't look at facts. See yesterday's nonsense about ivermectin, a drug with no evidence for efficacy in covid. He has an agenda, like everyone else making videos on the subject. And he's only a nurse, so doesn't have any great insight.

  39.  @isovideo7497  He has a PhD in Nurse Education.

  40. Rent-a-gob self-publicist.......might be bright but that's hardly the first aspect of his odd behaviour and personality one notices.
    3
  41. Careful. He's a PhD in teaching nurses. He isn't a medical doctor.

  42.  @besties3234  They're not, of course. Your national experts on this are dead right. It's just that you can't help observing them through politically-tainted eyes, and through the spin of politicians.

  43. You're making the huge mistake of thinking this is the last variant.
    3
  44.  @ramonareinhold8424  Huh? Do you know anything about how science (or logic) works? Are you one of those clowns who would stick this down your throat despite the lack of proof it works, but not have the vaccine despite the mountain of evidence and endless clinical trials showing it does work?
    3
  45.  @davidkennedy3050  And it's junk. An observational study. No randomising, no blinding. Sheer junk.
    3
  46. You still have a massive number of Delta cases kicking around, and that needs to be taken seriously.

  47.  Will R Thomson  No, it's made-up twaddle from the anti-vax lie machine. Otherwise, link me to the peer reviewed paper/s supporting your lie, sorry claim.
    3
  48. How do you know it is of high benefit? There is no evidence to support that assertion.
    3
  49.  @TomFinnell  No, he isn't. These are low quality studies. They are no use whatever as medical trials. When there is a large scale double blinded randomised study pbulished in somethig like the BMJ then come back to me. Until then, you conspiracy theorists have got nothing.

  50.  Investigative Audit  This was nonsense the last time you copy and pasted it. What makes you think it's any more right now?
