“ because it has saved their lives.”

But I thought survival was 99.97%?

You can’t have it both ways. Either it’s a lethal pandemic where running red lights is justified and indeed essential, or everybody survives in which case measuring a “lifesaving” effect is impossible.

If three deaths per 10,000 cases is true, you would have to treat ten million cases with ivermectin to measure a difference - which will never happen.

I got burned using HCQ after it was apparent it was ineffective, the ivermectin saga feels exactly the same.

COVID does have a high survival rate. But for certain groups the fatality rate is much higher than for others. That is not a contradiction. Also though younger, healthier people have high survival rates there can be incidents (just like with the flu) where they also develop a severe life threatening course. Early and preventative treatment is essential in keeping the virus from getting worse no matter where you fall in the demographics.

How did you get burned using HCQ?
