[kwlug-disc] Ivermectin

[Khalid Baheyeldin]

Here is another example showing that researchers have the freedom to
investigate
off patent FDA approved drugs, and that medical journals do publish the
results.

Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) is a liver medicine that is widely used and off
patent.
Research in animals, and human organoids shows that UCDA reduces SARS-CoV-2

entry into cells <https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-04149-7>. The
research was done at MRC Cambridge Stem Cell Research Institute
in the UK (a top research institution), and published in the journal Nature
(a top science
and medicine journal).

Of course, the time consuming and expensive part still remains: clinical
studies, before
it can be widely used (or not).

Those claiming conspiracies and suppression need to come up with evidence
that
a) magic cure X is effective, and b) that it is being suppressed by Y and Z.
