British Ivermectin Recommendation Development (BIRD) - Information, Research and Clinical Protocols

It is common knowledge, the COVID-19 injections are experimental (undergoing trials until 2023), can only be used under an Emergency Use Licence, have not been tested according to long-established protocols, require state-of-the-art technologies to produce and are expensive.

 

With the above facts well understood, it appears particularly strange the UK Government decided to ban (in 2020) the drug Ivermectin for use against COVID-19 despite an abundance of data and research proving the effectiveness of Ivermectin in both prevention and treatment.

 

Unlike the experimental COVID-19 injections, Ivermectin has been in use for more than 40 years, is safe for use on dogs, horses, humans, pigs, sheep and others, has an outstanding safety record, has very few side-effects, is easily produced and very cheap.

 

Ivermectin won its inventors the Nobel Prize British Medical Journal website
(External link, opens in a new tab/window) and is on the WHO's Model List of Essential Medicines Ivermectin listed
(External link, opens in a new tab/window).
So, why is Ivermectin not allowed to be used in the UK and why do so few of the public know about Ivermectin?
