Bankrupt Cryptocurrency Exchange Funded Fake Ivermectin Studies

FTX funded studies (using depositors' assets) falsely claiming hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin weren't effective Covid treatments.

Bankrupt Cryptocurrency Exchange Funded Fake Ivermectin Studies
drpanda.substack.com

In 2021, there was a study in the New England Journal of Medicine that declared Ivermectin ineffective against COVID-19. Remember it? And it seems that the now-bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange FTX funded it. Headed by Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), who donated almost $40 million to Democrats this election cycle, trailing only George Soros, who donated about $128 million.

The FTX Foundation on May 16th “proudly” announced more financial support for the “global expansion of the TOGETHER Trial.” This triggered the lead researchers of their COVID-19 trial to be awarded the ‘Trial of the Year’ Award on the very same day! This is a very prestigious award from the Society for Clinical Trials in San Diego, which apparently can be bought? Wonder if they will revoke the award like the International Academy did with New York Governor Cuomo’s Emmy.

From FTX’s press release:

“Each year the SCT presents one award for a randomized clinical trial published the previous year that best exemplifies five key criteria including improvements to humankind and provides a basis for substantial and beneficial changes to health care.”
“The TOGETHER Trial is the largest placebo-controlled COVID-19 trial and has, so far, evaluated 11 different treatments for COVID-19. On May 16, the TOGETHER trial receives the award and announces more than $18 million in funding and purchase commitments from the FTX Foundation that will enable the expansion of the trial from Braziland Canada, to include experienced sites in South Africa, Rwanda, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Bahamas, Pakistan, Vietnam, and Ghana.”

Continued in the press release are several quotes from lead researchers and FTX employees, all of whom celebrate and praise the “achievement.” (In other related news several other studies, including another study in Brazil, found ivermectin helps to reduce the risk of death by 92%. There’s even a whole website that links to news reports and medical studies).

David Henderson over at EconLib found The TOGETHER Trial of Ivermectin Isn't All That Together: “It is not nearly as conclusive and persuasive as the two doctors’ quotes and other media coverage would lead us to believe.” He goes on to say:

“Further, ivermectin is widely available in Brazil as an over-the-counter drug — unlike in most clinical trials, where the drug under study is available only via the trial. Prospective participants who wanted ivermectin because they believed they had COVID could have taken it on their own and thus would be disinclined to enroll in a trial where they faced a 50 percent chance of getting a placebo. Further, those who wanted ivermectin likely would have had a serious case of COVID; hence their desire for the drug. Therefore, we can assume that the trial participants skewed toward those who considered themselves at low risk from the illness. This conflicts with the stated goal of the trial, which was to study high-risk patients.

In the end, none of this mattered. FTX funded a trial and got what they paid for, with presumably stolen cryptocurrency investors’ money.

The study’s conclusion: “Treatment with ivermectin did not result in a lower incidence of medical admission to a hospital due to progression of Covid-19 or of prolonged emergency department observation among outpatients with an early diagnosis of Covid-19.”

The results of FTX’s ivermectin study was widely cited by mainstream media as the final reason that ivermectin wasn’t effective.

The FTX Foundation also says they are/were invested in “next-generation coronavirus vaccines.”

FTX is very interesting as it’s just beginning to unravel as we learn something new each day. If you’d like to go down the FTX rabbit hole, I’ll post a few tweets/graphics below. You may be interested to learn their ties to the Democrats, Biden, the WEF, and more.

Thanks for reading everyone!

FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried bankrolled the Democratic Party's midterms war chest to the sum of $40,000,000 using funds from his now-bankrupt crypto exchange. Meanwhile, blameless customers have likely lost BILLIONS in savings. This is the SCANDAL everyone should be talking about!

There’s even a rumor (and a lot of people believe it) that FTX laundered US taxpayer aid money sent to Ukraine into crypto and then back into the US elections. While it is true FTX did assist the Ukrainian Government with Crypto donations, this is just a rumor. Could be true (probably is) but there isn’t evidence, yet.

So Biden gave loads of money to Ukraine, who gave loads of money to FTX, who gave loads of money to Democrats. Sounds like a potentially massive scandal the media will have absolutely no interest in covering.

A day after SBF announced FTX US was fully liquid and would continue to process withdrawals it, along with 20+ other related entities, filed for bankruptcy. In filings it showed $900 million in assets against $9 Billion of liabilities.

FTX bankruptcy shows the company had 134 affiliates spread across the globe and may have liabilities of up to $50 billion. Enron had liabilities of $23 billion. FTX may be worse than Enron.

If that wasn't bad enough the day after bankruptcy a ‘hacker’ accessed FTX’s corporate crypto wallets and transferred a majority of the remaining user assets to private wallets draining the recoverable funds.

I doubt any subscribers to this blog would find this story surprising, just more confirmation of what we already know.

Unvaxxed here, 51 y/o. Got Covid for the first time in July 2022. Sick for 3 or 4 days and then got well.

I started taking Hydroxychloroquine as soon as I knew I was sick. I also immediately started fasting -- no calories for 5 days. This unleashes the full power of one's immune system -- most viruses don't stand a chance against autophagy. I can't be sure. but I feel the fasting was more of a factor in my recovery than the HCQ.

Let’s not forget, ivermectin is given out in a lot of countries as Covid prevention. Countries like India. Brazil, Mexico, etc. seems to be working just fine there. Here cdc calls you a horse if you want to take it 🙄
