[edit add 12-23-21] Why indeed would Merck try to kill their drug ivermectin, when it rendered India's largest state of Uttar Pradesh India COVID-free in just weeks, through a door-to-door test and treat program featuring ivermectin in a multi-drug/nutraceutical therapy.

[edit add 12-1-21] It gets even worse.
https://www.dailywire.com/news/fda-panel-recommends-merck-covid-pill"“Merck originally said the drug was more than 50% effective in preventing hospitalizations and death, but a more full set of data presented to the FDA on Tuesday noted the drug is just 30% effective,” the outlet added."
So the FDA approves this new drug with unknown long term side effects, that is only 30% effective against COVID-19, while the 35-year old drug ivermectin is so close to 100% effective that it eliminated COVID-19 among the 230 million residents of Uttar Pradesh India with no side effects, was warned against by Merck. Can Big Pharma's and the FDA's collusion and malfeasance get any more blatant than that??? [end edit]

In a Feb 4, 2021 article Merck warns against use of their own, time-tested drug that has proven itself to be one of the safest drugs on the planet over the last 35 years, while remaining the most efficacious drug in treatment of COVID-19.
"Merck warns against using anti-parasite drug to treat COVID-19""Merck added that
there was a concerning lack of safety data in the majority of studies testing ivermectin to treat COVID-19 and cautioned against the use of the drug beyond its use as an anti-parasitic. (Reporting by Amruta Khandekar; Editing by Ramakrishnan M.)"
Which is of course a lie of monumental proportions, since none of the studies showed any danger whatsoever from this wonder drug as prescribed for COVID-19, as demonstrated by physicians that have been curing COVID with it for well over a year with
up to 100% success in early outpatient treatment, and even up to 50% reduction of mortality in later hospitalized patients.
There is an obvious reason that some poor African countries that have had widespread historical use of ivermectin, have enjoyed less than 1% of COVID deaths that we have had in the U.S.. But of course as usual, Big Pharma's media lackeys and alphabet bureaucracies quickly jumped on and parroted these lies obviously without ever looking at the data, let alone that ivermectin has proven itself to be an up to 100% effective cure for COVID-19 for well over a year now.
The treating physicians experiences should suffice to demonstrate to any sane person that up to 100% cure in early outpatient treatment is better than the average 5-10% mortality from COVID of elderly and high-risk individuals. Double blind placebo controlled studies of such a successful drug are tantamount to homicide.
Put another way, would you volunteer your grandparents to be in a control group that would suffer 5-10% mortality, rather than the near perfect results of the treated group as demonstrated by treating physicians over the last year?
Here's the science:

OFF-PATENT drug that has had billions of doses prescribed around the world over the last 35 years?

Merck Reaches $350 Million COVID Therapy Deal Under Operation Warp SpeedMerck will supply up to 100,000 doses of the developing COVID treatment it acquired last month from Oncolmmune in a deal with the U.S. government's Operation Warp Speed.

Merck & Co. (MRK) - Get Report said Wednesday that it reached a $350 million agreement with the U.S. government to supply its developing coronavirus treatment as part of Operation Warp Speed.Merck said the agreement would allow for the development, manufacture and distribution of the treatment, which is will named MK-7110, following its Emergency Use Authorization approval from the Food & Drug Administration. Merck acquired the treatment last month through its $425 million takeover of Rockville, Maryland-based Oncolmmune, which said its developing therapy can sharply reduce the risk of death or respiratory failure in patients suffering from severe forms of COVID-19.
The deal would pay Merck around $356 million for the manufacture and supply of between 60,000 and 100,000 doses of MK-7110 by then end of June, the company said."
So first the NIH creates the group of severely ill patients, by its
failure to recommend effective early treatment, so corporate criminals like those at Merck and Gilead can profit off of the dying that they created.
Now here's the comical punchline:
"Merck To Discontinue Development Of COVID-19 Drug 'MK-7110'
Apr 15, 2021
(RTTNews) -
Merck (MRK) said Thursday that it has decided to discontinue development of MK-7110, formerly known as CD24Fc, for the treatment of hospitalized patients with COVID-19,
after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration asked the company to provide additional data to support a potential Emergency Use Authorization application."
While there are 93 studies, 54 peer reviewed, 56 with results comparing treatment and control groups for the efficacy of Ivermectin in treatment of COVID-19.
https://c19ivermectin.com/How many more people are dead, on the alter of Big Pharma profits, from not being prescribed Ivermectin by doctors who didn't do their own homework but followed the media and Big Pharma lies?
