Evidence for ivermectin

How would you know what is too small a sample size for this particular study?

Because it is statistically insignificant. The larger the study cohort, the more accurate the results.

Determination of the optimal sample size for a clinical trial accounting for the population size

The problem of choosing a sample size for a clinical trial is a very common one. In some settings, such as rare diseases or other small populations, the large sample sizes usually associated with the standard frequentist approach may be infeasible, suggesting ...

Sample Size Calculation in Clinical Trials: Part 13 of a Series on Evaluation of Scientific Publications

In this article, we discuss the purpose of sample size calculation in clinical trials, the need for it, and the methods by which it is accomplished. Study samples that are either too small or too large are unacceptable, for clinical, methodological, and ...

Obviously, they do not want people to take inexpensive drugs like ivermectin that work, instead they want them to go hospitals to get treated with expensive drugs from Big Pharma, connected to a ventilator, and if they die from covid, the hospitals get rewarded.

If Ivermectin works why did poor India drop it in favour of much more costly alternative vaccines which do work-and why do you refuse to respond to this simple question, despite being asked on many occasions? Are you frightened by questions you find uncomfortable? Furthermore no hospitals get 'rewarded'; what an ignorant comment.
 
Many doctors were prescribing ivermectin to their patients with great results against covid, when U.S. custom stop orders of it coming from other countries like India. By denying people the use of the drug, thousands of people died unnecessarily. Those responsible shall be held accountable.

Ivermectin suppositories are the best!

Aside from covid, Ivermectin also treats bad hangovers. I had a bad one one morning, popped a suppository up there, and before long my hangover passed.

A total of 172 studies of Ivermectin for COVID-19: real-time analysis, of which 88 are controlled studies in 27 countries from 922 scientists and 132,000 patients, which show significant improvements for mortality, ventilation, ICU admission, hospitalization, recovery, cases, and viral clearance. This overwhelming evidence of Ivermectin, an inexpensive drug, for preventing and treating Covid-19 backed by science, put to rest all the deniers that claimed the drug is not effective for the treatment of Covid-19. It has save countless lives. How many lives would have been saved in the US if the FDA had approved ivermectin treatment for Covid-19.

A glance at the list of studies on that page doesn't seem to support the claim. Please identify 3 randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled studies that showed a significant effect.

Keep bleating the obsolete information you want.

Ivermectin isn't approved because it doesn't work.

Why HCQ and Ivermectin were removed from India’s Covid-19 treatment protocol​

Ivermectin and HCQ were dropped from the clinical guidance after studies found that these drugs have little to no effect on Covid-related mortality or clinical recovery of the patient.​

Ivermectin: How false science created a Covid 'miracle' drug​

The BBC can reveal that more than a third of 26 major trials of the drug for use on Covid have serious errors or signs of potential fraud. None of the rest show convincing evidence of ivermectin's effectiveness.
Dr Kyle Sheldrick, one of the group investigating the studies, said they had not found "a single clinical trial" claiming to show that ivermectin prevented Covid deaths that did not contain "either obvious signs of fabrication or errors so critical they invalidate the study".
Major problems included:
  • The same patient data being used multiple times for supposedly different people
  • Evidence that selection of patients for test groups was not random
  • Numbers unlikely to occur naturally
  • Percentages calculated incorrectly
  • Local health bodies unaware of the studies
The scientists in the group - Gideon Meyerowitz-Katz, Dr James Heathers, Dr Nick Brown and Dr Sheldrick - each have a track record of exposing dodgy science. They've been working together remotely on an informal and voluntary basis during the pandemic.
They formed a group looking deeper into ivermectin studies after biomedical student Jack Lawrence spotted problems with an influential study from Egypt. Among other issues, it contained patients who turned out to have died before the trial started. It has now been retracted by the journal that published it.

The group of independent scientists examined virtually every randomised controlled trial (RCT) on ivermectin and Covid - in theory the highest quality evidence - including all the key studies regularly cited by the drug's promoters.
RCTs involve people being randomly chosen to receive either the drug which is being tested or a placebo - a dummy drug with no active properties.

I'd say that was fairly conclusive; naturally Mr. 'One-track-mind' Sandokan won't be budged from his opinion.

We had a poster here that stated she and her family were given ivermectin and they survived covid.

When asked....she was clear that her family was young and healthy otherwise. She seemed clueless that their mild cases of covid were TYPiCAL for their age and state of health. Yet she believed it was all because of ivermectin.

I take that back. It was HDCQ. My bad. But it is still the same idea.

I noticed you didn't actually cite any studies. Why is that? Something from a credible, peer reviewed journal would be nice. Thanks
 
How is this thread still alive?

The other day I was looking for some sort of cream or medicine for a burn (my son burned his finger, found out Desitin is good to relieve the pain, according to the pharmacist anyway). The lice shampoo is on the same aisle as the first aid stuff and I happened to just glance the medicine there, Ivermectin, and couldn't help but shake my head at the stupid people. (I know that Ivermectin is used in lice shampoo, it was mainly just one of those random reminders of what it is, an antiparasitic.)
