Oh so now they're considering Ivermectin

Ivermectin reduces COVID death risk by 92%, peer-reviewed study finds

https://www.theblaze.com/news/iverme...ment-new-study

Nah...this can't be. A horse de-wormer is this good against Covid? This safe and effective?

Funny how all this news now comes out after the Drug Lords (big pharm) has made hundreds of billions off their useless toxic drugs...of which the dimwit party will get their kickbacks, of course.

"The hospitalization rate was reduced by 100% in regular users compared to both irregular users and non-users," the study stated.

The impressive reduction for regular ivermectin users was evident despite the regular users being at a higher risk for COVID deaths. The regular users were older and had a higher prevalence of type 2 diabetes and hypertension than irregular and non-users.

But if people were informed and made aware of a cheap, safe, widely available anti-viral like Ivermectin for COVID-19, how could companies like Pfizer be able to make hundreds of billions of dollars off their new, shiny, essentially RISK-FREE (thanks to US Gov't protection from lawsuits) mRNA vaccine?

How dare you risk the profits of companies such as Pfizer like that?

Where is your humanity, good sir?

Thank you, Jeff.

Every time a study came out that seemed like the nail in the coffin for the so-called horse paste, it rose again, vampire-like, feasting on the blood of social media outrage.

The truth is that while excitement for ivermectin mounted online, it crashed quite quickly in scientific circles. Most randomized trials showed no effect of the drug. A couple of larger trials which seemed to show dramatic effects were subsequently shown to be fraudulent.

Then the TOGETHER trial was published. The 1400-patient study from Brazil, which treated outpatients with COVID-19, found no significant difference in hospitalization or ER visits — the primary outcome — between those randomized to ivermectin vs placebo or another therapy.

A narrative started to develop online — one that is still quite present today — that authorities were suppressing the good news about ivermectin in order to line their own pockets and those of the execs at Big Pharma. The official Twitter account of the FDA clapped back, reminding the populace that we are not horses or cows.

But still, Brazil. Different population than the United States. Different health systems. And very different rates of Strongyloides infections (this is a parasite that may be incidentally treated by ivermectin, leading to improvement independent of the drug's effect on COVID). We all wanted a US trial.

And now we have it. ACTIV-6 was published last week in JAMA, a study randomizing outpatients with COVID-19 from 93 sites around the United States to ivermectin or placebo.

A total of 1591 individuals — median age 47, 60% female — with confirmed symptomatic COVID-19 were randomized from June 2021 to February 2022. About half had been vaccinated.

The primary outcome was straightforward: time to clinical recovery. Did ivermectin make people get better, faster?

It did not. The time to recovery, defined as having three symptom-free days, was 12 days in the ivermectin group and 13 days in the placebo group — that's within the margin of error.

I assume Ivermectin was given early in the disease course in this JAMA study? Because the claim has been you have to treat them early with Ivermectin.

Also, I will add, some of the biggest (and most qualified, medical education and experience-wise) names touting Ivermectin have maintained it's not a singular wonder drug, and should be given in combination with other meds.

I believe we'll never know the full or true story about Ivermectin and its effectiveness in treating COVID. That's unfortunate.

Ivermectin worked wonders early on in India, as I recall.
