MY condolences to Professor Thomas Borody’s family on his recent passing. I was very grateful for the gravitas that Prof. Borody’s academic and clinical experience brought to the fight to get ivermectin approved for COVID-19 in 2021-3. His contribution to the worldwide battle against COVID-19 disinformation will not be forgotten. Wishing you a safe crossing, Thomas.
I have been aware for some time that my friend and colleague Thomas Borody was seriously ill suffering from Guillaine-Barre syndrome. A post on X last night alerted me to his passing.
Tom first became aware of me as a person with expertise in drug regulatory affairs following my publications in Quadrant magazine which was the only publication at the time (note: Cairns News publicised his work) which permitted any public questioning of pandemic policy, COVID-19 management and the potential use of ivermectin in the pandemic.
Both Prof. Robert Clancy and myself took advantage of this publication to try and alert the public to the disinformation and misinformation which was being promulgated by the Australian and other governments, politicians and so-called “medical experts”.
These initial papers were followed by publication in other fearless journals including Spectator Australia, Brownstone Institute and Trial Site News.
Despite ill-informed and widespread criticism from his colleagues and the medical profession as a whole, Tom frequently appeared on TV media interviews trying to get the message out about his first-hand experience regarding the usefulness of ivermectin in the treatment of COVID-19.
Tom began to gather around him a group of advisors which included Robert Clancy and myself to try and gain approval for the use of ivermectin in the treatment of COVID-19 at a time when the official government advice was, if you got COVID-19, do nothing, go home, isolate and if you got really sick get admitted to hospital.
The government claimed there was no treatment available…..Tom disagreed and as we all now know…..he was right.I got to know Tom fairly well. In many ways, we were opposites. He was highly intuitive, brave, impulsive and enjoyed thinking out of accepted paradigms….that was his rare strength.
As a gastroenterologist, his credentials were impeccable: MD, PhD and DSc and he headed the biggest gastro clinic in Australia located at Fivedock in Sydney.
Many believe his should have shared a Nobel Prize for his pioneering work in uncovering the cause of gastric ulcer along with Dr. Barry Marshall and Dr. Robin Warren and in developing triple antibiotic therapy for the underlying H. pylori infection causing gastric ulcers.
Tom also developed treatments for Crohn’s disease. He became world famous for his faecal transplant therapy. I tried many times to call Tom to introduce myself as I knew I could assist him in his attempts to gain approval and use of the novel combination ivermectin, zinc and doxycycline in the management of COVID-19.
I could not get past his personal assistant but through another contact involved with the Australian Medical Professional Association who knew both Tom and myself, one day out of the blue I got a phone call from the famous Professor Thomas Borody.
We hit it off immediately and he asked if I would be prepared to advise him on how to deal with the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) to gain regulatory approval for his ivermectin triple therapy.
Of course, I jumped at the chance to work with Tom. How could I resist? It was both highly rewarding and frustrating working with Tom. In my usual way, I would analyse scientific issues in great detail and present lengthy reports and advice to Tom on regulatory strategy but I got the impression no matter what I said, he knew where he wanted to go.
My job was to make it happen. I worked for Tom for many, many months pro bono as I knew he could save lives. I advised and assisted Tom and the rest of his team on the compilation of a TGA submission for his chosen ivermectin triple therapy and even went so far as having a pre-submission meeting with senior TGA staff including Assoc. Prof. John Skerritt who was head of the TGA at the time.
I knew it was going to be a daunting job to get the TGA to approve ivermectin for COVID-19. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) declared ivermectin a toxic horse medicine despite its widespread use for many years for the treatment of parasites and being declared an Essential Medicine by the World Health Organisation (WHO) with its discoverers being awarded the Nobel Prize.
“Medical experts” in Australia followed suit and demonised anyone suggesting the usefulness of ivermectin. Doctors were suspended from practice from prescribing ivermectin for COVID-19, medical licences were taken away and in Queensland it was actually a criminal offense attracting jail time for prescribing ivermectin.
But this did not thwart Tom from proceeding. Having worked with the TGA over several decades representing more than half of the international pharmaceutical companies in Australia and gaining the approval of many new drugs, I knew that the TGA had highly competent staff capable of diligently assessing scientific and clinical data provided to it and reaching supportable and justifiable conclusions.
But the TGA I once knew was no longer.It became more and more apparent to me as time went on that the TGA was not going to be helpful in this case and it was going to be an uphill battle to get any ivermectin therapeutic approved despite any safety and efficacy evidence….
Tom tried his best to save lives. He gave it everything he had. That was the nature of the man. He was a fighter. I am proud to have been able to work with such a talented scientist/clinician. He will be missed by many. Farewell my friend.

It’s hard not to come to the conclusion that our regulatory bodies are no longer independent, but either compromised, captured or corrupted.
Itsadogsworld : Back in 2010/2011 I was researching various treatments as I had Renal cell Carcinoma..The Plibersek toad was at the Helm,and I emailed her regarding the Cyberknife Treatment.I never got a response from that pos. I continued researching;and came across; on the Government website;that if there was a recognised Treatment overseas,for any condition/disease;that the Government would fund the treatment;and pay for the carriage via aeroplane for the person seeking treatment and a carer. Also pay for accomodation. This had to be signed off by Two recognised Medical Professionals. I don’t know where this information is now,as my other half cleaned up the computer.

Thanks for the link, very interesting.

Cholesterol, longevity, intelligence, and health.
The biological meaning of cholesterol is just starting to be explored.
Everything that doctors know about cholesterol is wrong.
New information about cholesterol is clarifying important issues in physiology and pathology.
Medical magazines and television stations like to propagate the idea that cholesterol is bad stuff, and as a result, that cliche is known to almost every American. Recent journal articles have promoted the idea that “the lower the serum cholesterol is, the better” it is for the health of the patient……….

Caltrop – yes humble banking soda has cured stage 4 cancers… cancer cannot live in an alkaline body. Many natural cures are hidden from us and some are labelled as poison when they re not.
A lot of alternative health sites are censored or algorithmed to the bottom of the pile now so people need to look deeper… Here is a good site below..
https://www.raypeat.com/articles/
Also anything by Dr Mercola and A Midwestern Doctor.
Rockefeller money created big pharma who control the AMA who control governments and their doctors who have to prescribe pharmaceuticals that don’t cure instead they mask the medical condition until a doctor becomes involved to then send the patient to another AMA member to another AMA member to make to enrich themselves while people suffer with no end in sight because doctors are only there to prescribe drugs and refer to specialist , that’s it .
Vale Prof Borody and all those others who tried to stand up and tell the truth and fell by the wayside.
All of this should be out in the open now but for the press censorship about what they did to humanity.. but I have no doubt that it will come out in time and when it does, there will be a great uprising of the people that should put fear into all these murderers all over the world. They will pay for their crimes.

I have been silent for some time… I know, I know. I started looking at Covid-19 and ended up in some very strange places indeed. ‘Here be dragons.’ I ended up wandering about, making absolutely no progress. Eventually, I ground to a halt.
My insurmountable barrier was highlighted in an article entitled ‘Was the Surgisphere case a one-off? Or does it highlight the bigger systemic problem of research fraud?’:
‘If you search for scientific research articles with COVID-19 in the title, you’ll see more than 17,000 articles published since the start of 2020, but this vital research is being undermined by weak or even fraudulent research practices. Perhaps the highest profile example so far is the Surgisphere case which saw a small US company seemingly fabricate a database, the data for which was purportedly from the medical records of nearly 100,000 COVID-19 patients treated in 167 hospitals.
This database was then analysed and published in two of the world’s most influential medical journals. Both papers have since been redacted by the journals, but what damage has already been done? And is this a one-off incident or a reflection of the fraud that plagues academic research?
…whilst this isn’t reason enough to begin accusing all medical journals or academics of research fraud, it still is a phenomenon which has yet to be taken as seriously as it should be. Nearly 1 in 50 scientists report having falsified or fabricated their data, with up to 1/3 utilising questionable research practices. This goes up to around 7 in 50 and nearly ¾ respectively when researchers were asked about the research practices of their colleagues.’ 1
Surely peer-review should have picked up the Surgisphere fraud? You think? The same article quoted Richard Horton, editor in chief of the Lancet, where the Surgisphere papers were published. He had this to say in his defence:
‘… the peer review process is not designed to capture research misconduct.’

The whole covid thing is a mess. Good doctors and scientists took the brunt of it, and good people who believed the media and govt and Pharma industry ‘experts’ were collateral damage.
I notice that world champion runner Usain Bolt, who “called time on his illustrious career in 2017 . . has been dealing with the devastating effects of a torn Achilles tendon for the last year [2024] . . the injury has taken its toll on his once amazing cardiovascular endurance”. Popular singer Dolly Parton is now ill. Even though she mocked the unvaxxed with her song ‘Vaccine’, she too was a victim of the deceit.
RayO said – “… It’s Dr David E Martin for Google to narrow it down to the right Dr David Martin…”
It might be worth weaning off Google, which owns Youtube and which is owned by Alphabet, none of which are bastions of Freedom and Truth, nor are any of them our friends. Quite the contrary in every possible respect.
FWIW, IMO Yandex [ yandex.com ] and Brave Search [ search.brave.com ] seem to be worthy unaffiliated unpenetrated unsubverted ungenocidal unZionist-or-Globalist-controlled alternative search engines.
Tragic that those who know the truth are silenced.
Now that so many have turbo cancer as a result of the jabs, how do we get the TGA to follow the FDA’s October 2023 ruling and make Histotripsy (Ultrasound treatment) available? Histotripsy uses frequencies to destroy/dissolve cancer as demonstrated on the TedX talk by Anthony Holland. No surgery required!
Those with turbo cancer don’t have ‘time’ to wait years for this treatment to be made available in Australia. Currently it is available in the USA and Hong Kong, but costs about $50k for a treatment.
Aussiemal:
” I believe I have proof that there was never a Covid-19 pandemic but only a narrative that there was one, which was pushed to the nth degree by the main stream media and the political class who were in on scam.”
I 100% agree with you Aussie and everything else you mentioned in your comment.
Nothing more than incessant and relentless FEAR propaganda, broadcast and displayed wherever and whenever the opportunity arose.
There was:
NO ‘pandemic’, NO ‘virus’, NO ‘deadly Pathogen’, NO ‘spread’ and NO ‘asymptomatic spread’… ALL of those characteristics of disease or epidemics / pandemics and the deaths and suffering linked to them only arrived AFTER the launch of the fake, mandated ‘vaccine’. How is any vaccine supposed to stop the spread of a disease which has never been isolated in a single patient, thus proven to exist at all?
A ‘vaccine’ which even to this day, many still believe they need it to survive; no matter how much we try to clearly explain the truth about it to them, even after seeing their friends, colleagues and family members die after taking it.
It’s a truly mind numbing phenomenon.
Thank you Irene for that Dr David Martin suggestion. It’s Dr David E Martin for Google to narrow it down to the right Dr David Martin.
To AussieMal,
Dr David Martin has all the proof. It’s the compromised judicial system that you have to get past.
Imago Viva Dei. We can’t get a Virus. ” Show me a Virus, I’ll show you a Liar, show me a Variant, I’ll show you a Bigger Liar. CS. WCSF, ps Kochs 4x Postulates, can never be met…
Now it is known about the criminal actions of those in the pharmaceutical industry and their protective health agencies like the TGA, the CDC and the FDA there is no reason that criminal charges are not laid and quickly. The evidence of malfeasance is in plague proportions everywhere we look.
These intentional injurious harms to the population cannot be said to be because of protecting the safety of the population or being over cautious. These actions were all part of the plan in line with the W.E.F., W.H.O. and Bill Gates’ depopulation agenda.
Along the way many wealthy parasites and the pharmaceutical industry made a mountain of money which should be stripped from them with huge fines put on top. Those directly involved with creating the monster lies and mechanics of the Covid-19 scam and “vaccine” that caused the loss of lives and health injuries should be hung. That includes the “Golden-haired God” Donald Trump.
The proof is in the pudding that this whole conception of Covid-19 was a criminal plan because apparently there is a patent for the “Corona 19 Virus” so it is not a natural phenomena but a man made conception. I believe I have proof that there was never a Covid-19 pandemic but only a narrative that there was one, which was pushed to the nth degree by the main stream media and the political class who were in on scam.
The beginning of this vile planned mass murder was the event known as Event 201, in which the Australian Government had a representative, Jane Halton. My question has been, seeing that since 1900 there has only been two pandemics, according to Wikipeda, and both were man-made, why did most governments around the world decide to give up their “rights” and that of their constituents to this madness?
Thank goodness for those brave souls like our own Professor Thomas Borody and Dr Bryan Ardis of the U.S. and many, many others who spoke up during this time of evil.
Never needed any of these “doctors” to get ivermectin. Since Trump let us know I have been buying Equimec from the local Horseland .$16 a tube does a total body mass of 600kg , I’m 100kg so that’s six hits I do over a year 🫡 thank me later 🫡🦘
