    I bet you are not talking from personal experience. Let me tell you Ivermectin works. I was taking care of someone diagnosed with the virus and followed none of the protocols. It was taking weeks and no improvement. I also began to show symptoms including a very stubborn cough. All the time I had Ivermectin but did not use it because of our doctor's advice. When I began to have concerns about contracting pneumonia I decided this is it and began to use Ivermectin. In three days the symptoms were just about gone and had negative test results a few days later. Ivermectin works. It puzzles me as to why the medical professionals are against it's use. I believe it would have saved many lives.

    I no longer have covid but the cough after is terrible!!! Weeks afterward you still have it and you feel weak just fighting it. No wonder our elderly are dying from it. How can their bodies deal with this? I welcome any advice from someone who had covid and successfully overcame the coughing. Thanks in advance.
