PETALING JAYA: The government is developing clinical trials for two medicines to determine their efficacy in treating Covid-19.

Health director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said the two medicines are oral Ivermectin (IVM) and Favipiravir.

IVM is listed as an essential medicine by the World Health Organization (WHO) as an anthelminthic drug used to treat various parasitic infestations.

“It is cheap, easily available and safe for use, and in Malaysia is only licensed for use in animals,” he said in a Facebook post.

Favipiravir is another anti-viral drug which the ministry previously said it was considering using in treating Covid-19 patients.

Noor Hisham said some clinicians have repurposed IVM, which has antiviral properties against RNA and DNA viruses, against Covid-19.

He said there are now reports indicating the benefits of prescribing IVM in early Covid-19 cases as a way to limiting viral load and preventing severe disease progression or person to person transmission.

“A pilot study published in the Lancet a few days ago showed some promising results but the authors concluded that the study warrants further exploration under larger trials with clinical outcomes in patients with risk factors or more severe disease.

“The current opinion over IVM is that there is insufficient data to support the use for prophylaxis or treatment of Covid-19.”

So, he said, experts from the Institute of Clinical Research and the ministry’s Infectious Disease division are in the process of developing a clinical trial on IVM and Favipiravir.

“We shall update the outcome in due course,” he said.

Ivermectin (IVM) and COVID-19
Oral Ivermectin is listed under WHO essential medicines from 2019, primarily as an anthelminthic drug used to treat various parasitic infestations.
IVM is cheap, easily available and safe for use, and in Malaysia is only licensed for use in animals.
Laboratory work showed IVM has broad spectrum antiviral properties against RNA and DNA viruses. On that basis, some clinicians have repurposed IVM with other standard of care against COVID-19.
There are now case reports and case series indicative of potential beneficial outcomes if patients are prescribed IVM early in SARS-CoV-2 infection as the mechanism to limit viral load and prevent severe  disease  progression or person-person   transmission.
A pilot study published in the Lancet a few days ago showed some promising results but the authors concluded that the study “warrants further exploration”under larger trials with clinical outcomes in patients with risk factors or more severe disease.

Powers that be suppress the truth about COVID-19

Many practicing physicians trying to provide appropriate care for their patients have been intentionally misled by entities that previously could be trusted. We should understand that using self-funded, evidence-based studies and also treating empirically is how individual physicians and medical clinics traditionally treated their patients, even in emergency situations. Randomized controlled trials are very expensive, which usually only government agencies or big pharmaceutical companies can afford. Therefore, no pathway exists for inexpensive treatments to emerge.

RCT is now the approved process for new treatments.

Ivermectin has four decades of safe use, with almost 4 billion doses for several medical conditions. It has been re-purposed for COVID-19 prophylaxis and treatment and is inexpensive. Information about multiple meta-analyses (summaries of data), the highest form of medical studies, is censored and banned on social media. Why?

Many years ago, the Union of Concerned Scientist first described a “disinformation playbook” used for decades by corporations to delay or block government action on matters that would adversely affect their profits.

This included:

1. The fake — Fake science is passed off as legitimate. For years, tobacco companies used fake science on the harms of tobacco.

2. The blitz — Scientists who speak inconvenient facts about the organization, such as the NFL and traumatic brain injuries, are discredited or question the non-beneficial gain or function of COVID-19 viruses, funded by Dr. Anthony Fauci.

3. The diversion — Ignoring evidence of the uselessness of commercial masks for COVID-19 prevention, but when worn over our eyes do prevent reading his emails. The COVID-19 virus origin from China, buried by Fauci, ignores almost 5,000 deaths and 8,822 serious reactions to COVID-19 vaccines reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System.

4. The screen — Credibility is bought by alliances with academia and professional societies. Here Perdue Pharmaceutical used these to hide the dangers of opioids, producing an epidemic of addiction and 100,000 deaths. Harvard professors, funded by the Sugar Research Foundation, stated excess sugar is not harmful to health.

5. The fix — Federal agencies didn’t investigate COVID-19’s origins because it may “open a can of worms,” and nonprofits (i.e. Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation) influencing the current “together trial” to state “no benefit with Ivermectin.”


The World Health Organization is a specialized agency of the United Nations with a broad mandate to act as a coordinating authority on international health issues. It pioneered major advances in public health, such as polio vaccines and eradication of smallpox.

Its current budget is $2.84 billion yearly, 40 percent from vaccine sales and 40 percent from China. Increasingly, it controls private entities, such as the Gates Foundation. It has contributed almost $5 billion and is the second biggest funder of WHO.

Originally public health officers decided on spending priorities, but now 70 percent is for specific and directed purposes by groups like the Gates Foundation, which directs national clinical research and bio-tech interventions, influences the news media and has control over Ivermectin research, i.e. the “together trial.”

Gates funds the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunizations, the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations and COVID-19 Vaccines Global Access Pillar — the partnership of the above. This is the team dictating the COVID-19 Health Emergencies Program from Geneva.

On April 21, GAVI published “Ivermectin; Why a COVID-19 treatment isn’t recommended now.” This was to justify a forgone conclusion. Reasons for this statement:

1. One person was chairman of guidance support and a member of the methods committee and systematic review team. No one person should have such influence.

2. Failed to publish a pre-established protocol for data exclusion, thereby keeping only what they wanted.

3. Excluded more than 23 meta-analysis publications of RCTs and observational controlled trials investigating Ivermectin’s benefit in prevention and treatment of COVID-19.

4. Excluded 13 OCTs with more than 5,000 patients, showing large overall reductions in mortality.

5. Excluded publications and pre-print epidemiological studies showing population-wide mortality decreases with Ivermectin.

6. Graded the April 13 Journal of the American Medical Society study as “low risk of bias,” when in an open letter, more than 100 MDs stated the article was fatally flawed. This JAMA article was retracted.

7. The Independent WHO.com was formed by disillusioned former WHO scientists to combat false WHO positions on Ivermectin.


Besides WHO, where is this disinformation coming from?

1. Big Pharma sells billions of vaccine doses for multiple billions of dollars — Moderna projects it will take in $18.5 billion — not to mention a continual supply of “booster” jabs. The NIH has partial ownership of vaccine intellectual property rights.

2. Merck and Pfizer are developing oral anti-virals against shingles, HIV and Dengue fever based on the Ivermectim platform. These can be patented and therefore are very lucrative.

3. Astra-Zeneca is developing antibody products. Ivermectin is a direct competitor.

4. The sales of Gilead’s antibody product, Remdesivir, will crash.

5. Mexico, India and many other countries’ empty hospital beds are due to expanded Ivermectin use. Obviously, many entities want Ivermectin to disappear.

Other Ivermectin disinformation sources should be the most trusted. Medical journals, such as JAMA, Lancet, Nature and Chest are supported by pharmaceutical ads. They all rejected the largest, 600-patient prospective RCT from Egypt showing hospital rates with Ivermectin of 1 percent vs. 22 percent standard of care and mortality rates of 2 percent vs. 20 percent, respectively. These types of rejections are common.

Most of the world governments and institutions are acting like they have earned our trust. They have likely lost it. Patients want free flow of information with accountability.

More like decades. Took decades to prove cigarettes are bad for health because the tobacco industry bribed lots of scientists to say cigarettes are not bad for health.

Duterte orders swift completion of Ivermectin trials

https://www.manilatimes.net/2021/06/15/news...-trials/1803284

PRESIDENT Rodrigo Duterte ordered a swift completion of the studies on the use of Ivermectin, an antiparasitic drug, as treatment for coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19).

In his public address on Monday, Duterte said it was important to determine the efficacy of Ivermectin "earlier" so the government would know if the drug can be used on Covid-19 patients.

"The earlier the studies are completed, whether or not it has the efficacy to fight Covid-19, is important because it is cheap and available."And if it can lessen Covid by 50 percent, that would be good, to be honest," Duterte said during the Cabinet meeting on Monday.

Duterte also told agencies that the government will fund the studies that will be conducted on Ivermectin.

"If there are funding problems, you fund it. We can replenish the money later so that once and for all, we can resolve the issue of this Ivermectin"

Duterte said he was not in the position to say whether or not Ivermectin should be used but he also claimed that many "credible" people have testified about the efficacy of Ivermectin.

"There are a lot of credible people, doctors at that, and many civilians who swear by their fathers' grave that Ivermectin is doing good to their bodies while they are suffering from Covid"

During the Cabinet meeting, Food and Drug Administration Director General Eric Domningo said the trials have been funded by the Department of Health and the Department of Science and Technology (DoST).

He said the clinical trials by the DoST on Ivermectin will start this June.

"They will start this June but we will follow up with them" Domingo said.

Duterte ordered the DoST to conduct clinical trials on Ivermectin last April.

Clinic raided for offering Ivermectin to Covid-19 patients

https://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/...id-19-patients/

PETALING JAYA: A doctor has confirmed that his private clinic was raided by the health ministry yesterday for supplying the anti-parasitic drug Ivermectin to his patients to prevent Covid-19 infection.

On May 16, health director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said the ministry had not approved the use of Ivermectin to prevent or treat Covid-19 because there were no scientific studies to prove it was effective.

While Dr Amir Farid Isahak confirmed that his clinic in Kuala Lumpur was raided by the authorities, he declined to comment further, on the advice of his lawyer.

“I did make the statement, but my lawyer has advised me against making any statement at this time,” he told FMT.

In a separate statement that was circulated online yesterday, the doctor explained that the slow vaccination rate had convinced him to offer the drug to patients because it was proven to be “very safe”.

“I accept that the 58 scientific studies done so far are sufficient to prove its (Ivermectin’s) effectiveness although our health ministry and some doctors do not.

“Therefore, I acted according to what I believe, and according to my conscience, to try to save lives,” he continued, adding that he was prepared for the consequences if his actions came to the attention of the authorities.

However, he said the need to save people superseded any fears of legal action. “If the Ivermectin from me saved just one life, it is worth it,”
he said.

FMT is seeking Noor Hisham’s response on the matter.

In early June, the health ministry and the health ministry’s Institute for Clinical Research began clinical trials to study the effects and effectiveness of Ivermectin to treat high-risk Covid-19 patients in 12 government hospitals.

Noor Hisham said at the time that the drug had received approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat a wide spectrum of diseases, there was no conclusive evidence to recommend its off-label use for Covid-19 patients.

Ivermectin has attracted international attention following several case studies and clinical trials that showed promising results in treating Covid-19, but neither the FDA nor the World Health Organization has recommended it for use outside of such trials.

Favorable outcome on viral load and culture viability using Ivermectin in early treatment of non-hospitalized patients with mild COVID-19 – A double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled trial

Background
Ivermectin, an anti-parasitic agent, also has anti-viral properties. Our aim was to assess whether ivermectin can shorten the viral shedding in patients at an early-stage of COVID-19 infection.

Methods
The double-blinded trial compared patients receiving ivermectin 0·2 mg/kg for 3 days vs. placebo in non-hospitalized COVID-19 patients. RT-PCR from a nasopharyngeal swab was obtained at recruitment and then every two days. Primary endpoint was reduction of viral-load on the 6th day (third day after termination of treatment) as reflected by Ct level>30 (non-infectious level). The primary outcome was supported by determination of viral culture viability.

Results
Eighty-nine patients were eligible (47 in ivermectin and 42 in placebo arm). Their median age was 35 years. Females accounted for 21·6%, and 16·8% were asymptomatic at recruitment. Median time from symptom onset was 4 days. There were no statistical differences in these parameters between the two groups.

On day 6, 34 out of 47 (72%) patients in the ivermectin arm reached the endpoint, compared to 21/ 42 (50%) in the placebo arm (OR 2·62; 95% CI: 1·09-6·31). In a multivariable logistic-regression model, the odds of a negative test at day 6 was 2.62 time higher in the ivermectin group (95% CI: 1·06–6·45). Cultures at days 2 to 6 were positive in 3/23 (13·0%) of ivermectin samples vs. 14/29 (48·2%) in the placebo group (p=0·008).

Conclusions
There were significantly lower viral loads and viable cultures in the ivermectin group, which could lead to shortening isolation time in these patients.

KUALA LUMPUR (June 17): The National Patriots Association, which represents Malaysia’s military and police veterans, said today there is an urgent need for the country to adapt to and re-strategise against the Covid-19 pandemic by being open to the best and effective methods to curb the spread of the pandemic.

In a statement today, the association’s president Brig Jen Datuk Mohd Arshad Mohd Raji (Retired) cited a statement issued by the Keeper of the Rulers’ Seal, Tan Sri Syed Danial Syed Ahmad, that the Conference of Rulers had stated “the methods and procedures used to hold proceedings in several countries are proven to contain the spread of Covid-19 and should be introduced in this country”.

Mohd Arshad said: "Reading into the lines and in between, it is obvious that Their [Royal] Highnesses had opined that our government should learn to adapt, and be open to the best and effective methods and not be overly dogmatic [and] incapable of change.

"News in the past weeks reported that several countries had started mass distribution of Ivermectin and seen a drastic reduction in their infection rates.

"In our opinion, Their [Royal] Highnesses are fully aware of the happenings in the world, and that Ivermectin has played a major role to help reduce the infection rate in some 20 countries.

"Their [Royal] Highnesses are also aware that numerous people have been frantically seeking to get hold of Ivermectin that could not be officially and legally obtained,”
Mohd Arshad added.

Mohd Arshad said the National Patriots Association is not anti-vaccine as many among the association’s members had been vaccinated or registered for the Covid-19 vaccination programme.

He said the association is firm in stating that Covid-19 vaccines must be safe.

"Officials of the Ministry of Health (MoH) owe it to the people to ensure the safety of the vaccines. They must be aware of all scientific arguments, including recent reports that were fast emerging by the week. In short, they will be held accountable if they neglect (fail) to detect or suspect signals of danger that lead to future harm.

"Patriots wants our MoH to heed the advice of Their [Royal] Highnesses. There is an urgent need to adapt [to] and re-strategise against Covid-19,”
Mohd Arshad said.

On the Covid-19 health emergency, he said the association is grateful that the Conference of Rulers had been explicit and wanted the views of the people to be heard and taken into consideration without creating any confusion.

The National Patriots Association’s statement today was in response to the Conference of Rulers' special meeting yesterday during which Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah and the Rulers decided that Parliament should be convened as soon as possible to enable lawmakers to discuss ways to win the war against the pandemic and rejuvenate the country’s economy.

Yesterday, Bernama reported that Yang di-Pertuan Agong was of the view that Parliament should reconvene as soon as possible and that the government must act firmly to accelerate the Covid-19 vaccination process to achieve herd immunity.

It was reported that Comptroller of the Royal Household of Istana Negara Datuk Ahmad Fadil Shamsuddin said Al-Sultan Abdullah expressed this after weighing the views of all political party leaders, the Independent Special Committee on Emergency 2021 as well as briefings by experts and government agencies.

“His Majesty expressed the view that Parliament must sit as soon as possible to allow the Emergency Ordinance and the National Recovery Plan to be debated by the members of Dewan Rakyat,” Ahmad Fadil was quoted as saying in a statement yesterday.

It was reported that the view was expressed after Al-Sultan Abdullah chaired the Special Discussion of the Malay Rulers at Istana Negara yesterday.

Ahmad Fadil reportedly said His Majesty was well aware of Parliament’s role as an important platform for the elected representatives to discuss various issues, in particular the Covid-19 pandemic.

“His Majesty is of the view that the Dewan Rakyat members will be able to discuss matters concerning government expenditure to help people in need and to revive the country’s economy,” Ahmad Fadil said.

Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., on Sunday, blamed White House medical adviser and former Trump administration Coronavirus Task Force leader Anthony Fauci — and the media — for discounting some treatments for COVID-19, saying it cost lives.

In an interview on Fox News’ "Sunday Morning Futures," Johnson, who was suspended from uploading videos to YouTube for a week and had a video of a speech talking about early treatments of COVID-19 removed by YouTube, alleged Fauci "probably helped sabotage the use of some of these things," referring to the drug ivermectin, used to treat parasitic worms, and hydroxychloroquine.

"The truth has been hiding in plain sight since the beginning of the pandemic," Johnson said. "And so it's difficult to explain the collusion, the corruption of media and social media."

"The media got their guy elected, and now they're not going to admit that they've been wrong, and it's going to continue to cost people lives,"
he added.

According to Johnson, the controversy over the efficacy of the drugs for COVID-19 treatment can be easily traced.

Dr. Fauci happened," Johnson said. "Media arrogance, social media, censorship happened. That clip, that testimony from Dr. [Pierre] Kory, powerful testimony, was viewed by 8 million Americans who weren't satisfied with the NIH guidelines."

"They wanted early treatment," he continued. "It was pulled by YouTube. But we all know that Dr. Fauci, he's not a modest man. If you question what he did, you're questioning science itself. But you can't look at how he stage-managed the COVID crisis and call it anywhere close to a success."

"He ignored early treatment, he probably helped sabotage the use of some of these things," Johnson charged. "Dr. Fauci, people in the health agencies, the media, the social media, they will never admit they were wrong because if they do, they're going to have to admit that literally hundreds of thousands of people didn't have to lose their lives but for their censorship, their arrogance and Dr. Fauci's mismanagement."

Johnson said his support of the treatments led to his YouTube suspension.

"I’ve been trying to alert Americans to the fact that there are early treatment options and try and find them. They pulled that off,"
he said, adding about the media: "They're not paying attention, they're suppressing this information, and the American people are paying the price."

MAECC calls for Ivermectin approval, claims powerful benefits in Covid treatment

https://www.theedgemarkets.com/article/maec...vid-treatment-1

KUALA LUMPUR (June 21): A group of six medical and consumer-related non-governmental organisations has urged the government to immediately approve the use of Ivermectin to treat Covid-19 patients in Malaysia.

The group, known as Malaysian Alliance for Effective Covid-19 Control (MAECC) claimed Ivermectin is a very safe drug that has recently been noted to have very useful and powerful benefits in the treatment of Covid-19.

The group is of the view that treatment using Ivermectin is among the alternatives to treat the virus, especially patients in the early stages

“We urge the government to position this drug and repurpose it as first-line therapy for outpatients.

“We plead with the government to exercise its emergency powers to fast track the use of Ivermectin and the appropriate supplements for immune enhancement for all individuals currently in quarantine stations and those in home quarantine too,”
said Dr Vijaendreh Subramaniam, the president of Malaysian Association for the Advancement of Functional and Interdisciplinary Medicine (MAAFIM), said during an online media conference today.

The conference also attended by Society for the Advancement of Hormones and Healthy Aging Medicine (SAHAMM) president Datuk Dr Selvam Rengasamy, Dr Abd Wahab Khalid Osman (MAAFIM) and Prof Dr Mustafa Ali (MAAFIM).

Also present were Malaysia Muslim Consumers Association (PPIM) president Datuk Nadzim Johan, Dr Amir Farid Isahak as an independent supporter and representatives from Society of Natural Health Malaysia (SNH), Naturopathic Medical Association Malaysia (NMAM) and Malaysian Society of Complementary Medicine (MSCM).

Meanwhile, Dr Mustafa who is also medical director of MAHSA University, said Ivermectin has been used for the last four decades and more than 3.7 billion doses have been prescribed. He claimed it is one of the safest drugs in the pharmacopoeia.

He pointed out that the MAECC is very confident that the Covid-19 pandemic could be overcome sooner rather than later.

“Our country may reopen its economy, commerce rebooted, and our people may get their lives back on track in a matter of weeks.

“It will be unethical if Covid-19 patients are not allowed the right to be treated with Ivermectin, particularly so if they meet an untimely end,”
he said.

Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah had previously said that the Health Ministry and the Institute for Clinical Research (ICR) have started clinical trials to study the use and efficacy of Ivermectin for high-risk Covid-19 patients at 12 of the ministry's hospitals.

Oxford University explores anti-parasitic drug ivermectin as COVID-19 treatment

June 23 (Reuters) - The University of Oxford said on Wednesday it was testing anti-parasitic drug ivermectin as a possible treatment for COVID-19, as part of a British government-backed study that aims to aid recoveries in non-hospital settings.

Ivermectin resulted in a reduction of virus replication in laboratory studies, the university said, adding that a small pilot showed giving the drug early could reduce viral load and the duration of symptoms in some patients with mild COVID-19. read more

Dubbed PRINCIPLE, the British study in January showed that antibiotics azithromycin and doxycycline were generally ineffective against early-stage COVID-19.

While the World Health Organization, and European and U.S. regulators have recommended against using ivermectin in COVID-19 patients, it is being used to treat the illness in some countries, including India. read more

"By including ivermectin in a large-scale trial like PRINCIPLE, we hope to generate robust evidence to determine how effective the treatment is against COVID-19, and whether there are benefits or harms associated with its use," co-lead investigator of the trial Chris Butler said.

People with severe liver conditions, who are on blood-thinning medication warfarin, or taking other treatments known to interact with ivermectin, will be excluded from the trial, the university added.

Ivermectin is the seventh treatment to be investigated in the trial, and is currently being evaluated alongside antiviral drug favipiravir, the university said.

Conclusions:
Moderate-certainty evidence finds that large reductions in COVID-19 deaths are possible using ivermectin.

Using ivermectin early in the clinical course may reduce numbers progressing to severe disease. The apparent safety and low cost suggest that ivermectin is likely to have a significant impact on the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic globally.
