Ivermectin’s Mechanism of Action Against SARS-CoV-2 Described

Researching our book—The Courage to Face COVID-19: Preventing Hospitalization and Death While Battling the Bio-Pharmaceutical Complex—was often a distressing and maddening experience. Infuriating was the systematic lying about hydroxychloroquine in order to prevent its use in outpatient settings. I found the stories of people who died in hospitals after being denied ivermectin to be the most distressing. The most morally offensive story in medical history is undoubtedly the brutality of hospital chiefs, and their lawyers, who fought tooth-and-nine against the administration of IVermectin to dying patients.

We have documented in our book that Drs. Pierre Kory, Paul Marik, Tess Lawrie, and Tess Lawrie stood at the forefront of the fight for ivermectin treatment in hospitals. Drs. Jean-Jacques Cepelowicz Rajter, and Juliana Cepelowicz Rajter published seminal (ICON) study In the October 12, 2020 edition CHEST Journal of pulmonary medicine. Mary Beth Pfeiffer and Michael Capuzzo, the investigative journalists, did an excellent job covering this story in real-time. We should be thankful for all of these heroic figures of intellectual and moral discernment.

Many patients who were fortunate enough to prevail in court and receive ivermectin enjoyed an astonishing improvement of their condition within 24 hours of receiving their first dose—a recovery that struck family members as miraculous.

Listening to their stories made me ask: “How on earth could this substance (macrocyclic lactone)—derived from a bacteria (Streptomyces avermectinius) found in a soil sample on a golf course in Japan—possibly work such miracles?” Truly these testimonies struck me as the most wondrous stories I’d ever heard, and I occasionally asked myself if the recoveries observed were a fluke or the result of some other unknown factors.

For sure, we knew everything from in vitro as well as from prior studies Although ivermectin demonstrated powerful antiviral activity, the exact cause was not known. We are grateful to a study recently published by a research team at MEPHI, Aix-Marseille Université, we have a highly plausible description of ivermectin’s mechanism of action against the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein.

This mechanism is best understood by the reader who must first comprehend the basics of the SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein Induces Hemagglutination—i.e., a reaction that causes clumping of red blood cells. A glycoprotein found on the viral surface HemagglutininRed blood cells interact with, resulting in the formation of a lattice and the clumping.

The Aix-Marseille study team documents: IVERMECTIN prevented HEMAGGLUTINATION by being added to RED BLOOD ELLS before spike protein, and reversed HEMAGGLUTINATION afterward.

By reversing the clumping of red blood cells, ivermectin enabled the dying patient’s proper respiratory function to return, thereby generating his or her astonishing recovery.

If the Aix-Marsaille team’s findings are correct—and we have no reason to doubt that they are—they provide the final validation and vindication of the dying patients and their families who literally begged for the wonder drug.

SHAME on hospital administrators and their mean attorneys, who denied the wishes of so many dying. SHAME on the federal officials in health who spread the LIE that Ivermectin only was a symptom. “horse de-wormer.” SHAME ON the useless idiot media pundits like CNN broadcasters or Late-Night Comedy hosts, who spread this foul lie all over the place.
