He continued, "Not many [doctors] in Great Falls are prescribing it." However, he has heard success stories about the drug's effectiveness. "Some patients have told me they're using ivermectin as a preventive measure, or for early onset of the virus, and recovered in a day or two. Studies showed it was working early on," for COVID, as reported by the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care (FLCCC) Alliance, Anderson said. e main ingredient in Cofix is recommended by the FLCCC Alliance as an early treatment protocol for COVID, in combination with a host of other vitamins, supplements, and medications. e Alliance also strongly advocates for ivermectin. Founded by top medical specialists in March 2020, the nonprofit organization provides extensive clinician and consumer information related to COVID-19, including lists of physicians, pharmacies, podcasts, epidemiologic analyses, and recommended regimens for prevention and treatment of the virus. In their December 2020 review of emerging evidence, the organization stated, "Regions of the world with widespread ivermectin use have demonstrated a sizable reduction in case counts, hospitalizations, and fatality rates. is approach should be urgently considered in the presence of an escalating COVID-19 pandemic and as a bridge to vaccination." Harvey Risch, MD, Ph.D., FACE, is a practicing epidemiologist and professor at the Yale School of Public Health, Yale School of Medicine, and Yale Cancer Center. He is also part of the Early COVID Care Experts (ECCE), a team of renowned physicians and scientists commied to treating the virus, sharing research, and providing protocols for clinicians. ey believe in natural immunity, disagree with mandates and failed public health policies, and provide evidence on COVID treatments. According to Dr. Risch, "e FLCCC has generally provided good treatment protocols, and they have made recent updates, recognizing that ivermectin is most beneficial at slightly higher doses than they were previously recommending, and they have finally included hydroxychloroquine as an important component of early outpatient treatment." Risch is joined on the ECCE by Dr. Peter McCullough, outspoken Texas cardiologist, internist, and epidemiologist, who has commented widely on COVID-19 and presented at the Florida Summit on COVID in November. McCullough advises against vaccines for children because of the risk of myocarditis: "Your children are more likely to be harmed by the vaccines than by COVID." Released from his roles with Baylor University Medical Center and Texas A&M College of Medicine, among others, McCullough has been accused of spreading "misinformation." He, in turn, has argued that the government is not being truthful with the public about research on the virus, pointing to a 99 percent COVID survival rate and effective, inexpensive therapeutics that have largely been blocked by government agencies. Also speaking at the Florida Summit was virologist Dr. Robert Malone, inventor of the mRNA vaccine technology used in the Pfizer and Moderna shots. He, too, warns against mandates and administering COVID shots to children. "ere's no benefit for your children or your family to be vaccinating your children against the small risks of the virus, given the known health risks of the vaccine," Malone stated in a podcast. "e risk-benefit analysis is not even close in geing the vaccine." He urges parents to consider the health risks and the short timeframe for testing. "A viral gene will be injected into your parent cells. is gene forces your child's body e Front Line on COVID Dr. Harvey Risch & e Early COVID Care Experts Outspoken mRNA Scientist Speaks Up Dr. Peter McCullough has argued that the government is not being truthful with the public about research on the virus.
