Having coauthored over ten peer-reviewed manuscripts on COVID-19, he is considered one of the world’s clinical experts on both the disease and the role of ivermectin and other early treatments. Dr. Kory is also considered a master educator and has won major departmental teaching awards at multiple institutions in his career. More recently, he became the cofounder and chief medical officer of The Leading Edge Clinic, a private tele-health practice operating in all fifty states that focuses on the treatment of both common and complex chronic medical conditions with a specialization in COVID-19 vaccine injury and long COVID-19 vaccine injury and long COVID syndromes. www.drpierrekory.com
About the Book
“A highly readable and fascinating memoir about the unfortunate demise of evidence-based medicine into what Dr. Kory calls ‘evidence-based mania.’ The War on Ivermectin is an insider’s account about how, starting in March of 2020, best medical practices were displaced by corruption, blindness, and corporate greed. Highly recommended.”
—Jennifer Margulis, PhD, investigative journalist and award-winning author of Your Baby, Your Way and coauthor with Dr. Paul Thomas of the #1 Amazon bestselling book, The Vaccine-Friendly Plan
“This book should be made into a sinister action movie! Dr. Kory has elegantly captured a gripping drama where ivermectin is the main character in a dark and complicated plot line. As the story unfolds, a larger pattern of deceit and callous carelessness is revealed that will forever change your view of how the so-called “healthcare” system actually works. Although the movie ends as a cliffhanger (will the protagonist eventually prevail?), it points the way to reclaiming your own agency in your health and medical outcomes, and provides much needed hope which leaps from these pages as you are introduced to the many doctors who truly care, actually follow the evidence, and are using their time to make this world a better place.”

“The COVID-19 pandemic changed the world. Among the most profound changes was a coup by public health bureaucrats against doctors and the traditional practice of medicine. Medical professionals and scientists were told how to think, and those who bristled at the new order, or at the broken logic it dispensed, were ridiculed, censured, and cast out. There was to be one and only one answer to the pandemic—a pair of unprecedented, barely tested therapeutics portrayed to the public as “safe and effective vaccines.” The only hitch in that plan was that these novel therapeutics couldn’t possibly get FDA approval fast enough. Instead, these brand-new shots would need to get Emergency Use Authorization, which, because of the danger of experimenting on the general public, required there be no available alternative. That requirement is why an all-out war has been waged on ivermectin, a drug that safely and effectively treats and prevents COVID but isn’t worth money because it’s no longer under patent. If the truth of ivermectin were ever recognized, it would bring the full criminality of global COVID policy into stark relief. The War on Ivermectin tells this shocking story in vivid detail from the vantage point of Dr. Pierre Kory, a heroic and highly decorated ICU specialist who spent every minute fighting on the front lines of this dirty covert war waged by Pharma and its governmental captives against doctors, patients and all the citizens of Earth.”

Big Pharma and health agencies cry, “Don’t take ivermectin!” A media storm follows. Why then, does the science say the opposite?”
Ivermectin is a dirty word in the media. It doesn’t work. It’s a deadly horse dewormer. Prescribe or promote it and you’ll be called a right-wing quack, be banned from social media, or lose your license to practice medicine. And yet, entire countries wiped out the virus with it, and more than ninety-five studies now show it to be unequivocally effective in preventing and treating Covid-19. If it didn’t work, why was there a coordinated global campaign to cancel it? What’s the truth about this decades-old, Nobel Prize-winning medication?
The War on Ivermectin is the personal and professional narrative of Dr. Pierre Kory and his crusade to recommend a safe, inexpensive, generic medicine as the key to ending the pandemic.
Written with Jenna McCarthy, Dr. Kory’s story chronicles the personal attacks, professional setbacks, and nefarious efforts of the world’s major health agencies and medical journals to dismiss and deny ivermectin’s efficacy. Part personal narrative, part scathing expose, The War on Ivermectin highlights the catastrophic impacts of the mass media censorship and relentless propaganda that led to the greatest humanitarian crisis in history.
Although numerous studies and epidemiologic data have shown that millions of lives were saved globally with the systematic use of ivermectin, many more millions perished. This carnage was the direct result of what Dr. Kory eventually discovered to be the pharmaceutical industry’s silent but deadly war on generic medicines and the corrupt, captured medical and media systems that allow it to continue. For anyone who thought Covid-19 was the enemy, Dr. Kory’s book will leave no doubt that the true adversary in this war is a collective cabal of power-hungry elites who put profits over people and will stop at nothing in their quest for control.
