Curious to know why alternatives are still being suppressed as a possible treatment. We need to start talking about covid management. We wouldn’t use it for those with lesser symptoms but for those who are hospitalized who may or may not benefit, it’s worth a try. I can’t see a constant booster shot being the only solution to this.

I don't think there's much mystery, is there? There's no money to be made on Ivermectin. There seem to be some laws on the books prohibiting the development of new vaccines if there are effective existing drugs, so they had to be squashed.

What suppressing? The WHO and national agencies are actively looking for treatment options, and just last week another medication was approved for in-hospital COVID-19 treatment. It's just that nothing that has been tried yet works nearly as well as vaccination.

  Ivermectin, HCQ have done wonders in asian countries. The fact that they are not even considered is frightening, and the studies against their use have extremely small and non-general sample sizes.

    Can't find any decent sized study for their use or supporting "done wonders". Have any?

      I’ve read a few articles (not bookmarked) in Chinese that talks about it. I think if we live in a westernized country we may have limited information available to what’s happening locally at other countries. This is just one article that talks about it. Even though it cites the Australia study that showed no big difference, it also says it’s a small sample size and due to its safe history and other studies that have shown it has positive effect, we can experiment it. Again I’m not arguing for it to be used for the light symptoms but rather the ones that are already on their deathbeds. https://finance.sina.com.cn/tech/2021-06-23/doc-ikqciyzk1306548.shtml https://finance.sina.com.cn/tech/2021-06-23/doc-ikqciyzk1306... Also the Indian Bar association has sued WHO Chief Scientist - though I’m not sure the latest on this https://www.thedesertreview.com/opinion/columnists/indian-bar-association-sues-who-scientist-over-ivermectin/article_f90599f8-c7be-11eb-a8dc-0b3cbb3b4dfa.html https://www.thedesertreview.com/opinion/columnists/indian-ba...

  Also I know a lot of people who have taken 1 or both doses but have said if it becomes a routinely booster shots, they’ve decided their risk profile isn’t worth taking it. So we will see a decline in vaccinations if that happens. I haven’t read the latest medication approved for in-hospital covid treatment so will take a look at that.

Constant booster shot means constant money.

Can you specify which alternatives are being suppressed?
