Last week, the NIH came out with an update to their stance on using Ivermectin. They went from “don’t use it” to “there are insufficient data to recommend either for or against the use of ivermectin for the treatment of COVID-19.” This is a significant change in their position. Here are their comments about the studies they examined:
• The sample size of most of the trials was small.
• Various doses and schedules of ivermectin were used.
• Some of the randomized controlled trials were open-label studies in which neither the participants nor the investigators were blinded to the treatment arms.
• In addition to ivermectin or the comparator drug, patients also received various concomitant medications (e.g., doxycycline, hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin, zinc, corticosteroids), confounding assessment of the true efficacy or safety of ivermectin.
• The severity of COVID-19 in the study participants was not always well described.
• The study outcome measures were not always clearly defined.
Here's their entire statement.

Apparently now that the NIH has softened their policy from “don’t take it” to “neutral” one can get a doc to prescribe it. I believe, it’s in the same category as monoclonal antibodies and Convalescent Plasma, both of which, as time moves on, are being found to not be effective. You can order Ivermectin online here:

I would imagine one would need a positive covid test. I also wonder how much of it is actually available since it has been in the news lately.
