Evidence for ivermectin

You have probably heard that ivermectin should not be used for treating covid, and that it's a horse de-wormer. Well here is a clinical trial published in The Lancet that found it effective: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/eclinm/article/PIIS2589-5370(20)30464-8/fulltext
You looked at the sample size, right?

And these were patients with no comorbidities...so they were extremely low risk for anything more than a mild case.

The anecdotal info in the countries that did rely on ivermectin is what should give you pause.

That is nice.

Now, just get vaccinated, wear a mask and hope everyone does the same then we will be done with this stupid pandemic, like we COULD have been if everyone got vaccinated from the get-go.............for the love of.......

Yeah, too bad the assholes squashed the research on it so we can know for sure. With the rabid, frothing mouthed cancel culture out there - who would attempt it now?

Every study using ivermectin has been flawed in some way. It has neither been proven nor disproven to be effective. This trial was well designed but it has been put on hold unfortunately. They claim it’s a supply issue:

So if everyone were vaccinated yet the vaccinated can still spread the virus - how again does that work to make the pandemic "done"?

Oxford
Let’s hope they are able to complete the study so we can get a solid answer either way
 
The Lancet is pretty explicit about not taking this stuff as proof for the efficacy of Ivermectin...

 
There have been many other positive studies of ivermectin, as well as great success in clinical use. I am posting as I read RFK Jr.'s book on Fauci. Pretty soon I should get to the part where Fauci shuts down research on and use of ivermectin. Stay tuned.
 
Maybe I missing something but all the study found was that loss of smell in the invermectin recepients went away in about half the time as opposed to those who didn’t get ivermectin.

That of itself is pretty underwhelming

She has no idea what that study reported out on, LOL

And it was pre-Delta, it took place July-Sept 2020 and was published almost a yr ago, Feb 2021.

And again, I ask you about RFK's book, how many of the idiotic fringe theories he puts out have been peer reviewed?

Ivermectin is horse dewormer, works great if your horse is full of parasites....otherwise, its shit.
 
I read the link.
Not really any 'evidence' showing it to be effective.
It used patients with non-severe COVID-19 and no risk factors for complicated disease.
It was administered early AFTER disease onset.
It was mildly effective in treating anosmia/hyposmia (i.e the loss of the sense of smell).
Not really considered a major or dangerous symptom of the disease.

"a marked reduction of self-reported anosmia/hyposmia, a reduction of cough and a tendency to lower viral loads and lower IgG titers"
