War on Ivermectin: The Medicine that Saved Millions and Could Have Ended the Pandemic
Big Pharma and health agencies cry, “Don’t take ivermectin!” A media storm follows. Why then, does the science say the opposite?”
Ivermectin is a dirty word in the media. It doesn’t work. It’s a deadly horse dewormer. Prescribe or promote it and you’ll be called a right-wing quack, be banned from social media, or lose your license to practice medicine. And yet, entire countries wiped out the virus with it, and more than ninety-five studies now show it to be unequivocally effective in preventing and treating Covid-19. If it didn’t work, why was there a coordinated global campaign to cancel it? What’s the truth about this decades-old, Nobel Prize-winning medication?
The War on Ivermectin is the personal and professional narrative of Dr. Pierre Kory and his crusade to recommend a safe, inexpensive, generic medicine as the key to ending the pandemic.
Written with Jenna McCarthy, Dr. Kory’s story chronicles the personal attacks, professional setbacks, and nefarious efforts of the world’s major health agencies and medical journals to dismiss and deny ivermectin’s efficacy. Part personal narrative, part scathing expose, The War on Ivermectin highlights the catastrophic impacts of the mass media censorship and relentless propaganda that led to the greatest humanitarian crisis in history.
Although numerous studies and epidemiologic data have shown that millions of lives were saved globally with the systematic use of ivermectin, many more millions perished. This carnage was the direct result of what Dr. Kory eventually discovered to be the pharmaceutical industry’s silent but deadly war on generic medicines and the corrupt, captured medical and media systems that allow it to continue. For anyone who thought Covid-19 was the enemy, Dr. Kory’s book will leave no doubt that the true adversary in this war is a collective cabal of power-hungry elites who put profits over people and will stop at nothing in their quest for control.

If you want to know if you truly were on the right side of history (or not) this is a MUST READ for everyone. Let's just say if they can fool you once, they will do it again, and again, and again to make their almighty dollar. No matter if you're "red" or "blue" sided, take a look in the book at what was happening behind the scenes, and why censorship was and still apparently is going to be a thing (until We The People say ENOUGH!) and where critical thinking for yourself and your family comes into play. Dr. Kory is truly a HERO without a cape, along with many, many other Doctors who decided to go up against the establishment. I can not imagine all that he and these other Doctors endured over the last three years, but I for one, am glad they did. It truly is our freedom at stake here on so many levels. Again, they (the elites) are already touting the "next pandemic" will be worse. Side Note: Did you know that it was Bill Gates in July of 2020 that released GMO mosquitos in Florida, and now they have Malaria cases there? Oh, and I forgot to mention that Gates has a new mRNA jab to fix that problem of Malaria. Certainly it's all about health, and not money. Desperate people do desperate things. Proud to say, I never took that jab, didn't ever test, and if I had it, I didn't know it. A MUST READ. Don't be afraid, just do it, you'll be glad you did. You'll also be highly pissed if you weren't aware.

If you can read this book without it stirring up all the anger that you felt during the Covid Deception, then you simply had none and went along with it all. But I sense that even you, by now, see the foolishness of that time and, God forbid, suffer the effects of a needless vaccine. Perhaps this book will remind you of all we went through or open your eyes to it. The unnecessary loss of millions of lives due to the greed of world leaders and big pharma must be revealed and should be addressed in courts and law suits but I fear none of that will happen in this life. We have gone too far. Worse days are ahead. Tyrants have a taste of what they can achieve with a bad flu. What will stop them from unleashing a true pandemic? Nothing. But God and His people will prevail to the end. Lord, help us!

This is a superb read. I love the work that Dr Kory has been doing and have the highest respect for him in every way. His journey has been turbulent, difficult and interesting, and I only wish I had a modicum of his courage and (as he would say) badassness. As a retired chemist who has spent the past 3 years following the COVID crisis and reading all the scientific literature that I could get my hand on, I so agree with him in all of his conclusions. The sadness which fills me because people do not open their ears and eyes and look at the REAL evidence rather than 30 second scripted sound bites is impossible for me to express. I am old and my days are numbered, but so many are not and have no idea what they have allowed to be injected into their bodies. My heart cries.
This book is a must read for everyone who cares about having a healthy life.

So humbling…
I was one of those naive believers who simply could not imagine that Government (at least OUR Government) would ever operate against our citizens. Thank God our Chosen Daughter opened our eyes before it was too late! This book (which she recommended) was outstanding. My faith in humankind has been rekindled. Thank you, Dr. Kory, for your courage and perseverance. If only I had known earlier…I might have been able to save my brother’s life.

Excellent must-read!
"In all, 2,706 patients presenting to the emergency room with Covid symptoms were given ivermectin and sent home. Just sixteen of them returned requiring hospitalization, and only two of them died. An incredible 99.3 percent of all the symptomatic patients arriving to the ER, who were ievitably far sicker than stay-at-home patients, avoided hospitalization and death in that first crushing Wuhan wave." -p. 129
It is so easy to forget and even rewrite history. Dr. Pierre Kory is one of the world's premiere ICU doctors who not only knew in spring-summer 2020 that everything that the government was advising was wrong, but also that Covid was easily and cheaply treated and largely survivable if treated early with widely available medicines. Yet, he and his colleagues were censored by pHarma and their partners while 20 million died world-wide, essentially all preventable deaths.
- 95 studies from 27 countries with 14,554 patients document ivermectin's efficacy, saving lives with just 2 or 3 doses
- Hydrozycholorquine (HCQ) is an effective treatment
- Heated high-flow nasal cannulas instead of ventilators prevents deaths.

Great book!
I highly recommend this book. I think some people who haven’t had their eyes opened yet won’t believe how so many people could be so wrong, though. One thing I would like to see are Freedom of Information requests that will find out if anyone in the government was influencing the major medical journals in their treatment of Covid topics. I think the book would have been even better if it would have had a detailed explanation on how each of the most cited anti Ivermectin studies was flawed.

This was an incredible read documenting all the roadblocks that were put in front of Ivermectin. Dr. Kory is a real hero fighting day and night to save patient's lives. Many more lives could have been saved if main stream media and those in authority had put sick people first. It is hard to fathom that society has sunk to such depths of depravity. The testimonials are heart wrenching and very revealing. In the past scientific breakthroughs were done by observation and yet when facing the greatest challenge in recent history observation was a non starter. No one wanted to believe the evidence. To not treat people from the onset has to be one of the greatest criminal acts of all time. Dr. Klenner who believed intravenous vitamin c could cure most bacterial and virus infections insisted on treating while he waited for a diagnosis. That was over 80 years ago and the medical profession abandoned this nugget of wisdom when it was most needed. Please read the book and be enlightened.

Now You Know!
If you want an honest overview of what happened with early treatment during covid, this is the book to read. Pierre Kory was at the center if it all, seeing and treating the very sick, knowledgeable about the best research, and persevering in bringing the world a safe way out of the pandemic. Easy to read and entertaining as well as full if powerful life-supporting truth!

A book every medical professional should read.
And if every medical professional should read it, than everyone else should to. Your life and the life of others may depend on it. Medicine needs to return to it's old roots. Perhaps this book will enhance this process.

“many people are now terrified of going to any doctor, viewing them for what they unknowingly have become: Pharma-controlled automatons arrogantly and unknowingly parroting fraudulent “science” and unsound treatment and vaccination guidelines.”
“the legal obligation of the drug industry, people need to understand, is to produce profit for shareholders. They have no legal obligation to give you the best treatment. The real scandal . . . is that doctors, institutions, and medical journals collude with industry for financial gain and the regulators fail to prevent misconduct by industry. We have a wealth of evidence of fraud that’s been committed by the pharmaceutical industry over the years but for them it’s the cost of business.”

The Pharma Industry is Fully Corrupted
Money, money, money, and oh yeah..Bill Gates! As for science, that was sold off decades ago to the highest bidder.

Amazing read. So glad this information is out there.

OK I have to give this book 5 stars so the people I know will read it. The book is an excellent story of the Covid-19 Pharmaceutical Cabal and our Communist government insiders Against the advocates that Ivermectin was/is an excellent Therapy/Treatment for the SARS-COV-2 virus (aka Covid-19). Any therapy available would have prevented the Emergency Authorization of a rushed Vaccine (Not Addressed by this book). While there was Not a lot missing from the book... there was a lot of the Author's opinions about Republicans and his politics Added! This might make the book objectionable to some readers... but I believe at the End of the Book... with so many Republicans essential to allowing Ivermectin study and use as a prescribed treatment for Covid-19 (And Dims were mostly negative; on side of pharma preventing Ivermectin use) that this author actually warmed to the Republicans who assisted him. So, while the author is biased against conservative And included a special chapter praising George Floyd... the book wasn't turned into crap by that writing. Just skip it if it bothers you; it's in there!

Interesting behind the scenes look at what was going on in the scientific community responding to the use of ivermectin and other off-patent treatments for covid.
December 19, 2023
An alternative title could read: Ivermectin: a key battle in the Covid War. In this important book, Dr. Pierre Kory bears witness and pulls back the veil of secrecy overlaying the corrupting and corrosive rot of regulatory capture of state agencies by the power elite who own and control Big Pharma and other elements within the medical / congressional industrial complex.
I highly recommend that The War on Ivermectin be considered required reading for understanding the big picture of what happened during the Covid pandemic from the perspective of an actual treating physician.
Fortunately, Dr. Kory and his co-author, have constructed a snappy and easy to read book that covers a complex subject. Dr. Kory writes in first person from direct experience, and tells it like it is. He is a hero and provides a testimonial of, and an indictment for, examples of malfeasance that need investigation and prosecution.
Suppressing Ivermectin was a key play in what I call the Federal Covid Response; central was denying early treatment for Covid infections. This was a punch by the power elite against the physician’s right to treat the infection using repurposed drugs.
Dr. Kory lays out in a blow by blow way, how a disinformation campaign cleared the way for the Food and Drug Administration to issue an emergency use authorization for the Covid vaccines. The FDA said the experimental mRNA vaccine was the only means of protecting from the Covid. This was a big lie.
Ivermectin, as a post-patent medicine, undermines the profit potential of Big Pharma, and the war on Ivermectin is all about controlling the practice of medicine to control profits, but also, advance the larger program of the Great Reset, a topic not directly addressed in this front line action story.
Meanwhile, Is it any wonder that the United States provides the lowest health outcomes at the greatest cost, given the influences of Big Pharma and others seeking profit?
The War on Ivermectin reveals how mis and dis information was used against the Dissident doctors who bucked the establishment by actually treating Covid infections instead of doing nothing, as was the official protocol.
Dr. Kory documents the undue power of the licensing boards, hospital overhead, and even Pharmacists, in obstructing the practice of medicine. The levels of malfeasance were vast and wide ranging.
The Federal Covid Response included a deep state smear campaign against Ivermectin and other compounds in order to claim the vaccine was the only way to protect from a covid infection.
Dr. Kory bears witness to a horrible scam. And he tells it as he sees it.
He sets the stage by recounting the work of Dr. Paul Marik who documented that high dose intravenous feeding of Vitamin C could reverse sepsis in patients in intensive care. The research was impeccable but the establishment authorities resisted changing procedures, denying the science that showed the power of vitamin C.
The reaction against Dr. Marik’s vitamin C protocol evoked the resistance to hand washing by physicians back in the day. This same stubbornness against innovation would show up again in the war against Ivermectin.
However, in the case of Ivermectin, there was a concerted effort to discredit the positive studies that showed Ivermectin saved lives. Witnessing resistance by the establishment was a big eye opener. In the course of the Covid pandemic, Dr. Kory would cycle through three employers, and in the process become a total sceptic of government authorities.
Dr. Kory describes himself at the beginning of the Covid in March 2020 as a progressive liberal who read the NY Times reverentially accepting what it reported as true, honest and accurate. But through the process of being shut down and suppressed, he transformed into a deep sceptic of the official narratives. From his battles in the Ivermectin war, Dr. Kory witnessed the bald faced lying that qualifies as unbridled medical malfeasance and abuse of power. He lost his political innocence in the Ivermectin war.
The prelude to the war against Ivermectin was the attack on Hydroxychloroquine by false journalism and policy declarations by the Food and Drug Administration. The Lancet ran a hit piece that fraudulently claimed negative effects based on a bogus study. The Lancet retracted without explanation but the damage was done.
When one considers the lengths the establishment agencies went to to discredit any means of treating covid infections, it should be clear that something very wicked and rotten was afoot.
Big Pharma in a conspiracy with Federal authorities and private individuals in the employ of the medical complex, full on deployed a hard ball attack against treating covid infections.
One tactic, among several, was to discredit Ivermectin’s efficacy by Issuing a “fake” report, and getting high impact media response to report the disinformation. Another tactic was to require random controlled trials before allowing Ivermectin could be authorized officially, an impossibly high bar that undermined the doctors right to treat with a repurposed drugs.
Amazingly, some people aren’t alarmed that front line doctors who treated covid infections were persecuted for prescribing to treat Covid.
The power of the media to condition thinking was evident when I asked a friend what he thinks about Ivermectin and he answered “horse medicine,” reflecting the negative language he got from the legacy media.
In one passage, Dr. Kory laments the loss of trust by the populace in their treating physician and medical establishment in general. This is one casualty of the Federal Covid Program.
In the big picture of the Covid War, the disinformation about Ivermectin, and the cover up of the risks associated with the Covid vaccines, show how the establishment works and the extent it will go to control the practice of medicine, and violate the oath to do no harm, and violate the preamble to protect and lookout for the general welfare of the nation.
The establishment authorities denied the treatment of covid infections in order to compel the populace to accept the vaccine. This is a crime for sure; there must be a rule we could appeal to get justice. Fortunately, some state attorneys’ generals are taking action.
Sadly, the vast majority of the medical staff in the USA and Europe and other places, complied with the order to not treat, and later complied with the mandate to vaccinate.
The shock and awe of the Covid propaganda campaign crippled critical thinking skills and made the majority compliant to edicts from the Federal authorities.
Covid patients were told there was nothing to do for an infection.
Once diagnosed with a test, they would quarantine but return when oxygen levels drop, or breathing became labored. In a worst case, they would be put on the ventilator or given Remdesivir (associated with a 30% fatality outcome); in a best case, corticosteroids to relieve the inflammation in the chest, and if lucky, Ivermectin, prescribed early on, which actually saved lives.
The War against Ivermectin documents the multitude of ivermectin success stories. Mexico City, Peru, Uttar Pradesh; the senior home that used Ivermectin to treat scabies, all showed that Ivermectin interrupted a covid infection and assisted in quick recovery and actually functioned well as a prophylactic.
Once Pfizer’s patented drug Paxlovid (functions on same principle as Ivermectin) was given an emergency use authorization, it became available to treat a Covid infection, providing additional profit to Pfizer.
The War on Ivermectin speaks volumes for the need for huge reforms in the practice of medicine. Functionally, the medical field needs to be released from Big Pharma / Medical Industrial Complex far reaching tentacles of domination.
A Medical Freedom movement should ensure doctors are free to practice medicine and make their own professional judgment about treatment protocols consistent with best medical practices; licensing boards must be brought to heel and defanged relative to bringing false claims; and compounding pharmacies must be protected from Big Pharma’s effort to control all drug manufacturing.
The right and freedom of doctors to use repurposed drugs for a wide range of exploratory cures should not be abridged.
Dr. Kory indicates there are efforts to repurpose drugs for the treatment of cancer; even Ivermectin has been identified as a promising compound, and against this, we should expect a full on assault by Big Pharma. There is no doubt that as the War on Ivermectin attests, we the people are in a not so silent war with Big Pharma. There is an epic struggle going on over the right to access medicine through our treating physicians freely without undue influence from Big Pharma.
The war against Ivermectin is not over, and the extent to which the people can demand access to it as a doctor’s right to prescribe, and get accountability from the editorial mafia that curated false information for the legacy media, all this must be followed up on by investigators and action taken by states’ attorneys general to bring the bad actors to justice.

Such a necessary book to record all the evil that occurred surrounding the suppression of ivermectin and the corresponding millions of deaths.
The book is informal in style but has plenty of citations backing up its information.
One of the commonalities among all the COVID Dissidents is that many of them were at the top of their field, and they took their expertise and did their own research and came to their own conclusions. Dr Kory certainly has the education, certifications, and experience to back up his opinions. Disregard them at your own peril.

If you're still unsure about the safety and efficacy of ivermectin as a treatment for Covid, this book is very much worth an open-minded read. It's also a pleasure to read for those of us who have long admired the heroic and indefatigable Dr. Kory. On the other hand, if you want to entrust your health to the infallible Dr. Fauci, the pharma industry, and the CDC, you will definitely not like this book.

Emotionally, I wasn't sure I was ready to read another book of information that I already knew. But, so many people that I respect had recommended it that I knew I'd need to dive in. To read about the huge battles being fought while we all fought our own - I can't possibly clap any harder or cheer any louder. I'm so glad that Dr. Kory documented this info so that it can be shared for generations to come. My respect and my gratitude for Dr. Kory and Dr. Marik are beyond measure.

Wish I knew sooner
Such a great book. Confirmed so many things I thought but could not verify.
Well referenced with truth not lies. Worth the read.

3.5. Hear me out.
On both sides of the arguments- (which in this case is pharma vs honest scientists OR fearmongering snake-oil doctors vs society, depending on whom you ask) there have been cases of lying, manipulation, misinformation just to name a few resulting in deaths of people due to financial incentives.
From a game theory, and economic perspective it makes sense for a private-company to keep their options the only one on the market and prevent others from entering it and also to maximise the amounts of time their products remain on-shelf regardless of how harmful it is to society (thalidamide, vioxx, red-40, etc.).
On the other side- there have been instances of government complacency because it brings them alot of money (alcohol+tobacco contribute $100bn+ yearly to US, rules wouldn't be as lax if it wasn't the case ofc), or politicians trying to protect certain interests because these were the investors during the election season (Japan as an example has near-all politicians agreeing to not import foreign rice to artificially keep the Japanese rice industry strong, even during times of food-shortages). With certain statistics like Pharma being in the top 10 GDP contributing industries and election-season donators, Ofc their interests are placed relatively high. One example would be some politicians releasing restrictions on oil and gas, as well as reducing grants for sustainable development.
These are just the financial reasons- the government lies multiple times to soothe the people, or "exude confidence", to protect their own interests or maintain status quo. Outside of Covid- there were lies about certain countries have nukes which was used as an excuse to fund a war (similar thing happened in the 70s), nestle buying out doctors and government agents, tobacco companies doing the same and actively discrediting studies and attacking the authors' credibility early on, and many more. In Covid- early on, China actively reprimanded (in some cases arrested) those making a big deal out of covid, the Wuhan site information was actively suppressed in many countries and told people to not buy masks so they could buy it for medical officials (and their families) instead. I would've done the same in their position, yet I was not in it hence I suffered.
I'm not one to entertain conspiracy theories, 99/100 are wrong. Yet the one that ends up being right is so important, that if we as a society end up ignoring it, we suffer major consequences. Snowden was right, Epstein was protected as an Intelligence-agent by foreign governments (this isn't a theory, foreign governments actively tried to cancel the trial because he was a POI), MK-Ultra, Germ theory, God knows what else.
I will not argue that most are bullshit, or that there haven't been cases of bullshit pseudoscience in history (John Brinkley is a fun case, look him up). I will not hide that I have basic GCSE level understanding of biology, nor will I hide my skepticism in how an anti-parasitic could be used to treat viral infections. I will also say that I've lost people during Covid- especially close ones and as much as I don't want that bias to play into my judgement- I won't deny it likely does in some subconscious level.
However:
1-From a psycho-sociological perspective, it makes sense that companies would try to discredit information against their sales.
2-Ivermectin wasn't just a case of one-group of doctors telling everyone in the world (though Kory's senate hearing did do something similar to that) but instead many people independently reaching similar conclusions.
3-Pierre Kory did turn out right about corticosteroids which saved countless lives during covid, so at least hearing him out is by no means a bad idea. These aren't some random farm-guys but instead well-decorated scientists and biologists with many contributions in other, related fields and ofc- PHDs.
4-I'm not anti-vaxxer (Got the 2 shots of covid, everything else in my youth, even my pets are vaccinated haha) but it is stupid to believe that a vaccine developed in time just slightly more than a year won't have any unforeseen long-term consequences which undoubtably will be suppressed because of economic incentives.
Overall- I think Kory's book is worth reading at the very least from a sociological perspective, and how game theory works in real life. Cheers!

Ivermectin saved my life. Because of the "war" on ivermectin it took me almost 2 years to obtain a prescription. I was infected with COVID-19 in November 2019, not 2020, when a friend brought it back after a trip to China that placed her in the Wuhan area. By the time the fascist authorities had agreed upon the story behind their lie, I was already battling the deadly lab-made SARS-CoV-2 that the U.S., through Anthony Fauci, helped create. In addiiton to a number of other auto-immune disorders, SARS-CoV-2 induced shingles twice in my body. When I observed that the shingles anti-viral drug valycyclovir helped relieve some of the COVID-19 problems, I persuaded the mainstream MD to prescribe valycyclovir off-label for COVID ...... there were no mandates putting his license at risk for that off-label prescription. Eventually I was able to find an MD and indepdendent compounding pharmacy to prescribe the ivermectin which is much safer than valycyclovir. The only way that Anthony Fauci and the FDA could approve the experimental gene therapy, aka COVID vaccines, was by abolishing the use of ivermectin, as well as any other proven effective remedy for COVID-19. Both SARS-CoV-2 and the mRNA experimental gene therapy had been in development for a decade. Big government, big pharma were not about to allow their power and profits to be spoiled by good people doing the right thing. Because of my own COVID experience, I lived through what this book describes. Other important books to read by physicians who know the truth about COVID: "The Courage to Face COVID-19: Preventing Hospitalization and Death While Battling the Bio-Pharmaceutical Complex" by John Leake and Dr. Peter McCullough; "Overcoming the COVID Darkness: How Two Doctors Successfully Treated 7000 Patients" by Dr. Bryon Tyson and Dr. George Fareed; "COVID-19 and THe Global Predators: We Are The Prey" by Dr. Peter R. Breggin and Ginger Ross Breggin. Universal censorship of any conversation outside of the approved narrative, including the censorship of traditional and valuable preprint articles and studies on preprint science servers relegated doctors to write and publish books to get the word out that there was and is effective and successful early treatment for COVID .... you don't have to just wait long enough after getting infected to get sick enough to go to the hospital and die there. I am COVID UN-vaccinated .... 71 years old and healthy in mind and body because of the courage of these REAL doctors who put their lives and licenses at risk to do the right thing! Good read!!

I borrowed this book from my local library and am happy I didn't pay to read this complete drivel. On the other hand, I have serious reservations about a library carrying a book that contains so much misinformation. It will mislead people into not getting vaccinated or taking the scientifically proven treatments when they get COVID.
To point out just a few examples of misinformation in the preface alone:
- a study of 10,000 patients shows a link between the MMR vaccine and autism, which the CDC hijacked and then discredited? What's the source for this? Who exactly completed the study? Who was the whistleblower?
- the writer ignores the fact that Andrew Wakefield's research on this topic was found to be fraudulent decades ago and he was struck off the medical register in the UK.
-COVID is called a 'cold virus with a death rate similar to the flu'. Absolutely not true- in 2020 the COVID death rate was up to 800 times greater than the flu and remains substantially higher in 2023.
-Kory relies on the expertise of Dr Paul Marik but he has shaky credentials. In 2021 he was reprimanded by the Virginia Board of Medicine for prescribing drugs, including oxycodone and phenobarbital- to people who were not his patients. His clinical privileges at his hospital were suspended that year for prescribing Ivermectin to COVID patients.
-The inventors of Ivermectin did receive the Nobel prize because it was shown effectively to eliminate parasites, a huge problem in the developing world. The scientist who developed it have never condoned its application for COVID.
The real message of the book is - don't trust mainstream science (because it's mainstream) and don't trust the government (not sure why- they're just people like us trying to do their job). If you enjoy conspiracy theories, then this is the book for you.

I saw and heard Dr. Kory many, many times through the FLCCC weekly webcasts. I find him to be fascinating and brilliant. His book certainly reflects the personality that one sees in his speaking. His writing is as passionate as his physical presence. I love the Long Island, New York in him. I obtained ivermectin, and used it, for Covid, but could not convince my closest family to use it when they were ill. Everyone around me echoed the same hypnotic words heard in the media. I wish everyone would read this book.
From page 196
"Covid was a war of information. On one side you had the powerful federal agencies, plutocractic globalists, and corrupt pharmaceutical companies on a mad quest for every more money and control. On the other side, you had the Dissidents: a bunch of scrappy scientists and medical professionals with miniature megaphone and truth and morals on our side. When our anti-narrative science and data became too big, too powerful, and too irrefutable for the censors to manage, and our group of truthers too vast to discredit as the occasional fringe doctor or conspiracy theorist, the only thing left to do was silence us completely. Remove the platform and you remove the problem."
p. 197
"Our little volunteer army was outmanned, out funded, outgunned, and surrounded on all sides. . . YouTube was unilaterally deciding what information was and wasn't scientifically valid or worthy of discussion. Who was pulling the strings? . . . Big Tech and mainstream media believe they are smarter than medical doctors who have devoted their lives to science and use their skills to save lives. They have decided there is only one medical viewpoint allowed and it is the viewpoint dictated by government agencies."

While the unvaccinated will appreciate the struggle scientists and doctors have gone through (and still are), it's the vaccinated who will have to find their way through this book. It will take a brave person in that category, who believed the lies that are now being exposed "safe and effective" right before their eyes, to read this book. And more on the way, including WHO's plans to make the world take any and all vaccines and more.
I'm writing a personal nonfiction book about the state of the US healthcare system - it's a joke to call it that. And while the title and main topic of this book is ivermectin and hydroxy before it (plus other safer, better approaches), the corruption by Big Pharma in sync with WHO, the CDC, the FDA, HHS, and the NIH (with Fauci behind most of it and getting quite rich) is the most disturbing. How doctors, thinking that JAMA and NEJM and other journals they are relying on are not corrupted publications - and how easily corrupted the journals are - is what is very scary.
I had to take short breaks in some of the maddening or heartbreaking chapters - especially the chapter on the success in India that was collapsed by edict.
As for US doctors who have yet to come out of their "info closet" and if nothing more support those doctors who have - shame on them. An apology to their patients wouldn't hurt either. The price they might pay is great - the government et al will see to that, but the price American citizens have paid and are still paying (future unknown but looking grim) is the point of this book. The deadly combo (mafia-like in its rigor) of the corruption in all aspects of medicine, health, information, and governmental lies is astounding. Read and weep, but read this book. It will open your eyes.

excellent, informative, deeply based in research and clinical experience
I admit to reading this out of curiosity, thinking it would be ridiculous. It was not. Pierre Kory shares his clinical experience and his knowledge of dealing with one of the world’s worst pandemics. Pierre discovered Ivermectin by chance early in the pandemic and was surprised to find that it had a known history of disrupting viral replication. He was even more surprised when all the patients he gave it to, recovered within days. This book is worth a read and it’s worth hanging in there - it’s long, detailed, and based in both research and real clinical experience. Kory writes as one of the top clinicians and researchers in ICU medicine in the world. His advocacy for Ivermectin has not earned him a cent and is based on its safety and efficacy. Wholly recommend this as an excellent read.

Very important information. It seems the state of our health system is even more corrupt than I knew, and that's really saying something.
I do wish the book.had been edited with a stronger hand. It needed a lot more organization to help the reader see the plot, so to speak. And the author's screeds and frustrations were too much, too often. Understandable, yes, but they obscure the important point that our health and regulatory systems have been completely captured by people who are willing to kill and maim for profit.

Dr Kory leaned left until he witnessed how the government, big pharma and the elites buried the success story of ivermectin. He has charts illustrating the cost of ivermectin and other remedies ( unapproved by the government) compared to the cost of the shot and other approved so called medicines. 100’s times the cost of ivermectin. FOLLOW THE MONEY. Also how various countries distributed ivermectin during various spikes of COVID and how the virus was stopped. It’s criminal how the government colluded with the pharmaceuticals and elites to spin a huge lie and bury a cheap, effective remedy.
