Letter: Ivermectin

To the Editor:

It has been known since early in the COVID-19 pandemic that Ivermectin can ameliorate the disease, shorten the course and reduce deaths. If, as in other countries, it had been allowed as a preventative prior to vaccine availability, more than 100,000 US lives could have been saved.

Ivermectin is not a cure but its way ahead of whatever is in second place. In my opinion, the authorities who publicly discouraged the use of Ivermectin were absent without leave.

Those of you who lost loved ones to the disease can send a postcard to your congress person (Matt Rosendale). Your dear friend or relative deserves at least the much from you,

Sincerely,

Stuart R. Snider, M.D.

Wolf Creek Mon.

P.S. This is not a generic letter. I want our neighbors to be aware of an available treatment that has been suppressed by the national media and to have a sense of security instead of fear and grief. Please fact check and share
