nekt··on Antiviral compound blocks SARS-CoV-2 from entering cells
Im unsure of what you are trying to say. Are you trying to say ivermectin has no impact on TMPRSS2? Ok here is another the google machine gave me.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7372205/

What is most telling about all of this is that there is no honest discussion. My only initial comment was that this blocks the same protein that ivermectin does. Multiple studies confirm this, its easy to search for them, and it has been the hypothesized mechanism by which ivermectin may show some efficacy.

Does ivermectin block TMPRSS2 or not?

I am not making any claims of any of these substances effectiveness in treating covid. I'm just pointing out that this substance claims to block the same human protein ivermectin does. We can all make of that what we will.

He said ivermectin was not found to block TMPRSS2. I linked a nih study that said it did.

Now its about proving its efficacy against sars-cov-2?

I believe this is called "moving the goalposts".

And there we have it - in silico is fine for this new substance that will likely have a huge price tag. Not fine for an existing generic.

Far fewer people are buying this nonsense these days.

This blocks TMPRSS2 which is the exact protein ivermectin blocks.

If that is the case why did Peter himself say a covid vaccine was impossible at the Nipah conference in 2019?

This is hyper partisan bullshit. The democrats have 100% always been in total support of trading security for freedom.

Republicans have only recently woken up from this due to the absolute madness coming out of the left.

I was a democrat who voted for Biden and has only donated to democrats though I likely never will again.
