Here you are. The direct link didn't work for some reason, but putting the URL into a search engine and accessing it that way did.

Huh yeah it works if you google it. Thanks.

Using Google Translate it's a bit wonky, to be honest I can't really tell if they're saying they already concluded the clinical trials or they are currently running them. Also lol what's that line about elephants at the end?

Spoiler: Kowa press release

Kowa Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Kowa") is a new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) infectious disease.

The investigational drug "Ibe" used in the phase III clinical trial (development code: K-237) for treatment.

Regarding "Lumectin", from the joint research (non-clinical study) with Kitasato University, the existing For the Omicron strain as well as the mutant strain (alpha beta gamma delta strain)

However, we have confirmed that it has the same antiviral effect. Kowa, as he announced in July 2021, won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine Satoshi Omura.

Treatment for new coronavirus infections directly from Kitasato University Special Honorary Professor He was asked to conduct a clinical trial of ivermectin as a drug. New model Pharmaceuticals contribute to the treatment of Lonavirus infections and protect the health of the people Considering the company's mission, the effectiveness of ivermectin against new coronavirus infections As well as conducting clinical trials to confirm safety, he is.

Ivermectin has been used by WHO as a treatment for parasitic infections in infected areas for over 30 years. Is distributed. Volunteers distribute directly to people, especially in some African countries It has been confirmed to be safe enough.

In addition, ivermectin is intracellular in SARS-CoV-2. It has been reported that it suppresses invasion into the drug and inhibits replication, and is used as drug repositioning. It is expected to be applied as a therapeutic drug (tablet) for all new coronavirus infectious diseases.

In this clinical trial, the dosage and administration already approved as a therapeutic agent for parasitic infections Although it is different, we are confirming its efficacy and safety in clinical trials.

Kowa confirmed the clinical effect of ivermectin on SARS-CoV-2 and was one of the first to the public.

By providing it to everyone, we will contribute to the treatment of new coronavirus infectious diseases as much as possible.

* Overseas, patients use high-content ivermectin for animals, which is dangerous to humans, and it is harmful. Although it was reported that elephants will appear, Kowa is the standard for conducting clinical trials of pharmaceuticals in humans. Ibermek in accordance with the strict standards stipulated in the "GCP (Good Clinical Practice)" We are conducting clinical trials of chin.

@SCSI No. You are wrong. Neuropathy caused by elevated blood glucose levels, resulting wounds and high BG levels are the leading cause of diabetics needing amputation. Circulation is secondary.

High BG is far more damaging than most people understand.

Interesting, I knew that part was bad, but didn't realize the blood sugar issues themselves were that directly damaging. My (now retired) relative who used to work with elderly diabetics (and other senior citizens with impaired mobility) on occasion wasn't involved in that aspect -- she was on the physical therapy side of their prescribed treatment plans and was focused on trying to mitigate their circulatory and edema problems to get them moving around more freely again and reduce the chances they'd hit the amputation endgame. That's why that detail caught my attention.

Pfizer submits request for COVID-19 vaccine use in children under age 5

Pfizer and BioNTech said Tuesday that the companies had asked the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to authorize their COVID-19 vaccine for emergency use in children younger than 5 years old.

Ummmm....what emergency? Countless children aren't dying at an alarming rate from a preventable disease....OR ARE THEY!?!? (AVGN voice)

We've passed clown world where even clowns hang their heads in shame

Now the fun part of that article is noticing which vaccine it is that they're asking to be authorized -- looks like it's probably the original Comirnaty one that does pretty much nothing at all against Omicron. Also, this bit, allll the way at the end:

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky warned at the beginning of the month that pediatric hospitalizations were "at their highest rate compared to any prior point in the pandemic," though the agency noted that the numbers include those admitted for other reasons but found to be infected and that the surge could partially be attributable to how hospitalizations in the age group are defined.

"Maybe some of these are with covid, not of covid..."

Meta analysis by researchers at John Hopkins conclude that the early lockdowns only reduced Covid-19 mortality by 0.2%

• Researchers found lockdown measures put in place during the early wave of the pandemic only reduced COVID-19 mortality by .2 percent in the U.S. and Europe
• The study concluded that lockdowns, school closures, and limiting gatherings did not have a noticeable effect on COVID-19 mortality
• Researchers warned that lockdowns 'marginal at best' benefits needed to be compared with their 'devastating effects' on the economy and society
• 'They have contributed to reducing economic activity, raising unemployment, reducing schooling, causing political unrest, contributing to domestic violence, and undermining liberal democracy,' researchers wrote

My understanding was that Thomas Renz presented the figures during the Covid-19: A Second Opinion panel and was in contact with a few whistleblowers from the DOD, and he would be presenting this evidence under risk of perjury to court at a later date. So now they're actively trying to SHUT IT DOWN so you can't poke around in DMED yourself and Thomas is yet to deliver the goods I guess.

It appears they compiled their information by painstakingly going through the DMED database and comparing incidents pre and post-pandemic.

The COVID Narrative is Falling Apart​

By James Stansbury

Joe Biden claims this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated and wants everyone in the world vaxxed with the “safe and effective” vaccines. In addition, he plans to distribute millions of "effective" N-95 masks. Anyone paying attention knows this a big lie. Masks may be a comforting placebo, but even the N95s don’t work as advertised. And new revelations about dangerous vaccine side effects have surfaced despite media suppression.
New Virginia governor Glenn Youngkin made mask and vaccinations optional for state employees and public schools. Immediately some parents, teachers and school boards threw a hissy fit (at least seven lawsuits have resulted so far). Meanwhile, those who voted for him see this as much needed relief from a pandemic that has run its course.
Why is there so much disagreement? The late Malcolm Muggeridge put it this way; “People do not believe lies because they have to, but because they want to.” Think about it; the Left and their media allies have terrified our children and ordinary citizens so much that they desperately want to believe masks and vax mandates are the only answer. Anyone who disagrees must be silenced, socially destroyed or even allowed to die by withholding organ transplants or life-saving therapeutics.
I was taught the only way to fight a lie is with the truth. However, I also know those who placed all their hope in the big COVID lie will do whatever it takes to silence anyone who disagrees. Just ask Joe Rogan about being silenced. It is nearly impossible to overcome emotion with facts, but I will present some anyway:
1). Alarming vax side effects reported by military whistleblowers. This story made a few waves last week when Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) included a mention in his five-hour Senate hearing. The information came from the Defense Medical Epidemiology Database (DMED), a mundane accounting tool used to track all medical diagnosis of military personnel and dependents for insurance billing purposes. DMED did better than the CDC’s ineffective Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). Following is a summary of the most alarming vax side effects:

• Myocardial infarction (heart attack) -- 269% increase
• Cancer diagnoses -- 300% increase
• Miscarriage -- 300% increase
• Bell’s palsy -- 291% increase
• Congenital malformations (for children of military personnel) – 156% increase
• Female infertility -- 471% increase
• Pulmonary embolisms -- 467% increase
• Neurological issues -- 1,000% increase

2). Athletes are mysteriously dying of sudden heart attacks: In Dec. 2021, Lorphic News , a non-traditional news source reported on the extraordinary number of physically fit, fully vaccinated athletes experiencing fatal heart attacks. This claim was systematically denied by most news sources. However, a chart compiled by the Federation Internationale de Football [soccer] Association (FIFA) confirms this is real and like the above military data, is based on a large sample size. FIFA has member athletes from 209 countries and has routinely tracked athlete health data for 20 years. Their long-term data confirms a fivefold increase in sudden cardiac deaths in only six months of 2021.
3). Vaccines now have negative efficacy: Data has surfaced claiming that continued use of the original vax is causing negative efficacy. Negative efficacy doesn't mean the protection fades. It means the opposite: it means the vaccines are now weakening the immune system. It became clear that countries with the

highest vax rates, were the most likely to experience a surge in both cases and deaths. You can monitor five representative countries daily death rates here. Note that India is included because India was the only one to allow the widespread early use of inexpensive therapeutics. Initially their protocol included hydroxychloroquine but when the more deadly delta variant hit they switched to a protocol that included ivermectin. India had far better results than the others in taming COVID.
In the above sample, Australia had the most severe police state lockdowns, mask mandates and a high vax rate around 80%. After some initial success, it has suddenly gone from near zero cases and deaths to having an explosion in both. Since spring of 2021 Sweden, noted for its minimal mandates, had maintained near zero cases and deaths as a result of achieving herd immunity early. All that changed when for reasons unknown Sweden pushed vaccinations despite the herd immunity achievement. As a result, Sweden’s flat-lined case and death rate also spiked, thus indicating its herd immunity achievement is compromised by vax negative efficacy.
4). Omicron provides long-lasting natural immunity: A peer-reviewed article titled “Cross-reactive memory T cells associate with protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection in COVID-19 contacts” published Jan. 10 in the scientific journal Nature provided a warning and some encouragement:

Once widespread infection (such as the Omicron wave) occurs across the world, the virus will eventually circulate endemically, meaning that infections may still happen but with milder symptoms and much less mortality.
There are two reasons that the transition from pandemic to endemic didn’t happen until Omicron: 1) all the widely used vaccines are based on the spike protein, which doesn’t induce a protective long-lasting T-cell response, and 2) natural immunity wasn’t widespread.

In other words, the current vaccines too narrowly target only the original Alpha spike protein and ignore the rest of the virus proteins. This inhibits production of long-lasting memory T-cells that can more readily adapt to new variants and this omission for those most heavily vaccinated appears to have changed omicron from mild to more dangerous.
Conclusions: Considering the dangerous vax side effects described above, it’s time to recognize that COVID is becoming endemic like the closely related common cold or seasonal flu. This means the safest way for the unvaccinated to produce the necessary long-lasting memory T-cells may be by catching omicron.
For those facing omicron with an immune system weakened by multiple vaxxes and boosters, age or comorbidities, an emergency use authorization by the FDA for the therapeutics (chiefly ivermectin) India used could be a life saver. However, the political climate today makes FDA authorization unlikely -- many hospitals have already allowed patients to die rather than try these proven, safe therapeutics. And last week, effective monoclonal antibody treatments have mysteriously lost their FDA approval.
Therefore, it wouldn’t hurt to fortify your immune system with a daily dose of over-the-counter vitamin D3, C, and zinc (all are included in India’s COVID kit). Around 80 to 85 percent of people who died from COVID were deficient in these vitamins and the most vulnerable are senior citizens and the obese (because fat cells absorb vitamin D before it can reach where needed). I’m no doctor so ask yours for dose rates since each can vary widely by weight, age, etc. We are still on our own for an early treatment option so it may be better contact an organization of rebel doctors like the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC).
U.K. PM Boris Johnson did the right thing by ending all vax and mask mandates and let nature take its course. (The Remnant features an excellent analysis of the politics behind the COVID tyranny.) Denmark has just followed his lead. Will 50,000 fearless Canadian truckers succeed in bringing a strong enough emotion to Canada or the U.S. to end the mandates?

Reuters chose to debonk itself. Nowhere in Kowa's press release do they state that they're doing 'non clinical research'. In fact they state repeatedly that they're conducting stage 3 clinical trials on the drug and that they're confident it has the same antiviral effect on Omicron Covid that they had confirmed with other strains.

In current year the Covidian bugmen would happily pass up an effective and safe treatment rather than hand a W to non believers.

Reminder that booster dose vaccination efficacy is based almost exclusively on invitro studies, specifically the Pfizer study that didn't test against actual Omicron Covid. There have been no phased blind clinical trials on 3rd and 4th dose vaccinations. All they've done is take plasma samples from the boosted and exposed them to an Omicron mimic, oh and measure antibody titres because as we know moar antibodies is good, By that standard Ivermectin should be approved right now. These people have no shame.

I read the Japanese release and it is announcing that, "in joint-research (non-clinical trial) with Kitasato Univesity, [Ivermectin] was confirmed to have the same anti-viral effects against the Omicron variant that have already been shown against existing variants (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta)."

北里大学との共同研究（非臨床試験）から、既存の 変異株（アルファ・ベータ・ガンマ・デルタ株）と同様に、オミクロン株に対し ても同等の抗ウイルス効果があることを確認いたしました。

Separate from this, Kowa is conducting a clinical trial to confirm the safety of Ivermectin and its efficacy against COVID-19.

イベルメクチンの新型コロナウイルス感染症に対する有効性 ならびに安全性を確認するための臨床試験を実施しています。

At the end of the release they say that, "by confirming the clinical efficacy of Ivermectin against SARS-CoV-2 and delivering the results to to the public as fast as possible, we hope to contribute to the treatment of COVID-19."

興和はイベルメクチンの SARS-CoV-2 に対する臨床効果を確認し、いち早く国民の 皆様に提供することで、新型コロナウイルス感染症治療に少しでも貢献してまいります。

So, to sum it up, they have ongoing clinical trials gauging the efficacy of Ivermectin against COVID-19 and put out this press release because they confirmed separately (in a non-clinical setting) that Ivermectin displayed the same anti-viral properties against Omicron (which is just now exploding in Japan) as previous variants. Basically it's a press release to clearly state that their trial is still valid despite the emergence of a new variant.

I think they plan to kill off those of us who didn’t comply. They have a database of who dissidents would be and will be trying to find ways to dispose of us over the coming years. Look at where their rhetoric is going with their cultists. They will eventually push them to attack us and kill us off, they won’t relinquish power peacefully and will not wait to be removed.

I get why people would think this is austistic and doomerish but I have thought for a long time that some kind of crazymaking tech is being deployed against isolated people that is designed to make people paranoid, fearful, and murderous. I think this is partially what underlies sudden jihad syndrome. I think it's absolutely being deployed to make isolated fearful people blame "antivaxers" and the people deploying it know what the results are going to be.

But it only works against isolated people and on people who aren't prepared for violence. In western Europe it worked really well because you have a terrible combination of completely socially isolated young refugee men, and a disarmed native population that, at least in places like Germany, Austria, and the Scandinavian countries, was accustomed to complete public safety.

Note that "worked really well" doesn't mean those places are now caliphates, though, it just means that order and trust were eroded and fear and hatred spreads through society.

But it's going to play out very differently in North America when the human weapons are liberal citydwellers and obese boomers and they're mad at, well, me and you. I've already had runins with these freaks but I have runins with crazy people all day long. I don't have any sense of faith in public order to lose, do you?

Agreed. The most acceptable vaccine is probably omicron, which likely was made in a South African lab to be an attenuated virus that would give immunity with less risk.

I think someone took a gamble that paid off. I'll take my coof from that when it finally catches me, or maybe the bad cold I had prior to covid was a beta coronavirus and I have had enough cross immunity to be invincible since 2019.

Been thinking about some things today, made some connections with the past.

Am sure everyone here is well acquainted with Nazi Germany and their practices toward Jews, Gypsies, and anyone else they didn't like. Am also sure the vast majority here are well aware of my namesake's purges, his sponsorship of the pseudoscientist Lysenko, and his inventing "cancel culture". Hope folks have some knowledge of the Chinese "Cultural Revolution" of 1966-1976, which caused a great deal of havoc before basically being put down by the People's Liberation Army when even Mao had had too much of the shit. And most of us remember 9-11, after which America started running scared.

Nazi Germany demonized Jews, just like the unvaxxed are demonized in many places today. Enacted many, many oppressive measures, ultimately murdering people. In the process, they turned into demons themselves.

Joseph Stalin bought into a line of pseudoscientific bullshit from Trofim Lysenko, who at one time was a respected scientist. Under Stalin's protection, Lysenko "cancelled" many Soviet scientists/agronomists who dared to disagree with him, advocated the use of hybrid seeds, and other things that made sense. Those "cancelled" were lucky if they only lost their jobs. Some were arrested and sent to the GULAG. Not all returned. In the bargain, Soviet agriculture was badly damaged. Anthony Fauci is the American Trofim Lysenko. Once respected, Fauci's gone off the deep end, actively trying to "cancel" anyone who disagrees with him or stands up to him. "I am the science!" Pretty fucked up, folks.

Three salient features of the "Cultural Revolution" were the use of slogans, "cancelling" people, frequently to their deaths or incarcerations, and "Chairman Mao's Little Red Book". Today's equivalents are slogans such as "Social Distancing! Six Feet!" "Wear a mask! Wear two masks!" "Two weeks to flatten the curve!" "Get vaccinated/boosted!", etc. We've all seen plenty of attempts to "cancel" people. And the equivalents to the "Little Red Book" are the vaccination cards, "vaccine passports", and their ilk.

Let's take a look at just what happened to these three regimes.

The Nazis killed millions, but in the end were not only crushed, but many of the top Nazis were tried, hanged, shot, or killed themselves, as befitting the demons they were.

Joseph Stalin eventually died, and Lysenko was shunted off into obscurity. The Soviets started using hybrid seeds, increasing yields somewhat. More food. Those "cancelled" were "rehabilitated", sometimes posthumously.

As previously mentioned, the "Cultural Revolution" ended around the time Mao died. A number were brought to trial. Many who were "cancelled" were also "rehabilitated".

We're already seeing "their" narrative go to shit. Some countries are dropping all their oppressive measures. Here some states have done the same, others still hanging onto their power trips, against rising discontent and opposition.


This shit did not have to happen here, or anywhere.

If the response to the Chinese Flu had been treated like a real health emergency, "they" would have reached out to us as fellow humans. "Everyone, we have this new disease. It seems to be a killer. Looks like it could be pretty easily spread. We need your help, please. For the next two weeks, we need to minimize our outside activities, except for essential workers. After two weeks, we plan to quarantine the hot spots and buffer zones, and ask everyone to wear a mask when in public buildings/gatherings, in school, and on public transport. We've started to develop vaccines, but they will take some time. If you have the following symptoms, please seek medical help immediately. With your help, we can beat this while still assuring people's rights to go and do what they need to do. We will keep you posted. Thank you."

Instead, we saw WAY too many politicians going off on unbridled power trips. Some are still on them; the courts haven't moved as well as they should have. Power is an addictive thing. Only the strongest can voluntarily give up power they should never have had in the first place, having taken advantage of the too many scared people in America. Our society has been badly damaged by all this. Trust and confidence in government, law enforcement, the judiciary, the mainstream media, and science at ANY level has been lost. Once lost, trust is mighty hard to get back.

History tells us "their" day of reckoning will come. And it shall. Cannot say what form it will take but adjustments will be made.
