“I’ve seen so far two folks I knew ...one personally and one here who died relying on ivermectin”
It should be noted that the second person started when she was well along with the virus because she was rejected from monoclonal antibodies, because she wasn’t ‘high risk’ enough for them.
I followed that thread - it was also a prophylactic dose, not the treatment dose (day 1 and day 3)
iMATH protocol is .2mg/kg for prophylactic use, to .4mg/kg post exposure (day 1 and 3).
For treatment it is .4 to .6/kg per day until recovered.
So, according to my calculations- the treatment recommended for a 63kg person (140 lbs) is almost 26mg to 38mg. Check my math.
The studies here have a wide range of doses used in their studies https://ivmmeta.com
The doctor here who says he has not seen it work only prescribed 12mg (irregardless of weight), for a handful of friends/family, for treatment
I’m sadly familiar with that thread and how ugly some were to her
The protocol refused her for monoclated antibodies because he O2 was too low
Because ivermectin did not work for her.
Now folks can claim she waited too long....I didn’t read that...
Or she didn’t take it correctly
In any event I don’t think it works for everyone or always ....
Same as plaquenil....which worked for me ....I think
Or did it.
You would think it did given I’m loaded with comorbidity risks and it was very mild for me as opposed to hard on my wife and asthmatic oldest son although he did take it too
I’m ambivalent about both ivermectin and plaquenil regardless
With this variant which some here claim is less lethal I’ve seen several folks I knew or knew of who were healthy die
In much better shape than I am.
I don’t see a cure all
It’s going to have to play out.
The stumbling block for a true vax is the primary issue
