Liberals, Big Pharma, Democratic polls, and the federal government’s bureaucratic scientists have effectively killed off the use of alternative medicines as possible COVID-19 treatments.
Ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, and to a degree monoclonal antibodies, for example, have been relegated to the drug industry’s ash heap as the Faucistas have relentlessly pursued a vaccine-centric solution to the pandemic, aided by left-wing cable news outlets and Big Tech who howl “misinformation” when someone suggests an alternative medication.
This time, though, establishment “science” may have met its match for off-brand therapies.
The New York Post reported on Monday that Monica Almeida, a 37-year-old fully vaccinated nurse in Britain, recently recovered after four weeks in a COVID-related coma.
What brought her back?
Viagra.
The Post noted that Almeida, a married mother of two, was just three days from having her ventilator turned off when she was given a “large dose” of the little blue pills.
She had contracted COVID on Halloween, and as of Nov. 16 was in a medically induced coma in the ICU. Her condition worsened to the point that her parents were brought in to say goodbye.
Yet, The Post reported, before doctors put her in that condition, she agreed to try experimental treatments.
When it appeared all hope was gone, they tried Viagra.
Accord to The Sun of London, “Viagra has previously been banded around as a possible way to treat Covid patients as the little blue pill dilates blood vessels and opens the airways.”
“He told me it was the Viagra, I laughed and thought he was joking, but he said ‘no, really, you’ve had a large dose of Viagra,’” Almeida recalled of what her respiratory specialist told her.
“It was my little Christmas miracle.”
“It was definitely the Viagra that saved me,” she told The Sun.
“Within 48 hours it opened up my airwaves and my lungs started to respond. If you think how the drug works, it expands your blood vessels. I have asthma and my air sacks needed a little help.”
Almeida came out of the coma on Dec. 14 and was well enough to go home just before Christmas.
“Scientists are carrying out tests to determine whether it can be used in the same way as inhaling nitric oxide, which can boost oxygen levels in the blood,” The Sun reported.
“Viagra can be given to Brit coronavirus patients if they have agreed to be in a study to try experimental drugs.”
Whether this treatment gains traction remains to be seen. But unlike ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine, Viagra has a ready-made constituency.
According to a trade publication article from December 2020, the erectile dysfunction drug, which is also a Pfizer product, racked up sales of more than $1 billion a year for 17 consecutive years, although sales have dropped to about a half-billion in 2019 as its patent was expiring.
