    1. A Coronavirus Epidemic Hit 20,000 Years Ago, New Study Finds
      from By Carl Zimmer
      A few dozen human genes rapidly evolved in ancient East Asia to thwart coronavirus infections, scientists say. Those genes could be crucial to today’s pandemic.

    #AL doctor reveals that unvaccinated patients request #COVID-19 vaccine when they realize they're in danger of dying.

    Someone objected that this could not possibly be true and I responded:

    > I know there's a political thing where people produce all sorts of made-up statistics about ultra-low "real" death rates for COVID-19 and ultra-high rates for the vaccinations, but seriously, are people so dedicated to their political views that they're willing to die of a now preventable disease?

      from dpillion
      “And now all you really see is their fear and their regret. And even though I may walk into the room thinking, ‘Okay, this is your fault, you did this to yourself,’ when I leave the room, I just see a person that's really suffering, and that is so regretful for the choice that they made.”

    #Ivermectin is a nerve toxin to invertebrates, which is why it is useful against parasitic insects. I don't know why #COVID-19 #anti-vaxxers decided it might be anti-viral, but they're wrong. Maybe they should stop exaggerating vaccine side effects and make the rational decision to take the shots.

    1. Salmon farmers win licence to kill
      from @newscientist
      SCOTTISH salmon farmers were given the go-ahead this week to treat their fish with a pesticide which experts say could kill wildlife and harm human health. The decision by the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) to license ivermectin, a persistent and toxic chemical previously banned from use in fish farms, has brought protests from shellfish …

    > Ivermectin has long been used to treat parasitic worms in humans and sees frequent use for similar purposes in livestock and is very effective for both purposes. In contrast, little good evidence exists to justify its use in treating COVID-19. Both the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European Medicines Agency (EMA) advise against its use. Meanwhile, the World Health Organization only recommends its use within clinical trials.

    > To date, much of the evidence supporting ivermectin’s use in treating COVID-19 has been weak and inconsistent. A few studies have found a positive effect for ivermectin, with many others finding no effect.

    That sounds like it is the cornerstone study, that most of the buzz around #ivermectin sprung from this study, and that its retraction seriously damages the chances of approval as a treatment for #COVID-19.

    This is only one study. The sloppiness displayed may not be present in other #ivermectin studies ... but given the level of excitement among #COVID-19 #anti-vaxxers, there is likely to be lots of pressure for this drug to work.

    Person: These #COVID-19 vaccines are the least tested vaccines since medical regulations were established.

    Me: Did you miss the 1976 "Swine Flu" H1N1 influenza vaccine? Or the pertussis vaccine that failed in San Diego about ten years ago? Did you miss that Moderna's tests had 35K subjects and BioNTech/Pfizer had 40K in their tests? I think you need to redo your research, because your statement is false.

    I really need to just let people *be wrong on the Internet*.
