Conclusion: Ivermectin use was associated with decreased
mortality in patients with COVID-19 compared to remdesivir. To
our knowledge, this is the largest association study of patients
with COVID-19, mortality and ivermectin.

Ivermectin exists in cheaper generic forms. Not a lot of money to be made by big pharma there.

Money would have made hand over fist. BILLIONS with a B doses....

If it worked.

But it doesn't.

According to this research, it works better than remdesivir. One is patented, the other is not.

It’s an observational trial. Even the authors of the trial realize that the definitive RCTs that have been done make this study fairly useless.

Observational trials study correlation, RCTs study causation. And it’s definitively proven thru RCTs that Ivermectin is worthless for COVID.

No, one study shows there might be a basis for doing another real study. But given that we now have multiple new anti-viral drugs that are specifically designed to fight COVID and have been proven to work in real Double-Blind studies there's no real reason to bother.

Furthermore, it likely wouldn't be that hard to produce a study like this showing that wearing black on a Tuesday showed slightly higher mortality than wearing red. It still doesn't really tell us anything, and the idiots taking this crap had no rational or scientific basis for taking it when they did, so they are still crackpots.

You obviously know nothing about doing science. If this study were useless, they would not have bothered doing it.

RCTs are very very often defective or deceptive. The drug industry didn't want ivermectin to be used, so they funded fake research to show what they want. This happens all the time.

From the OP linked article conclusion.

"Further double-blinded placebo-controlled RCTs with large samples are required for definite conclusion."

another paper presenting an opinion rather than solid proof.

LOL.

I literally do this kind of science for a living.

And doing an observational trial isn’t too hard, and no doubt it was done and submitted for publication before the latest, and most definitive, ivermectin trial was published.

You clearly have no flippin idea what you’re talking about.

BS! Medical research is seldom conclusive. This was a big study, and should not be ignored!
