I’m a specialist in Infectious Diseases and Tropical Medicine with 41 years experience, and I have also discussed this question recently with experts working in Africa.
Short-course ivermectin is widely used to treat worm infections, and its beneficial properties for this purpose are well known. It is not used for prevention, unlike chloroquine, a close relative of HCQ, which is consumed daily by millions.
Okay thanks for the information, I appreciate it.
What is your opinion on the low incidence of Covid there? Climate maybe.
Perhaps they often use cinchona bark.
i recently resorted to using it for an issue related to neuropathy. it helped. not a long term solution but i certainly see why it has been used for so long for a variety of issues.
i had never heard of it until i saw someone say the tea made from the bark helped with his Covid
as always...you have to be careful with your liver when using these kinds of products
So why are these 'scientists' so mystified?
No, Ivermectin is used for all phases of Covid 19 including prevention for Covid 19. You must not be keeping up and are basing your opinion on antiquated information. Ivermectin uses are evolving.
========================================================================================
"Meta-analyses based on 18 randomized controlled treatment trials of ivermectin in COVID-19 have found large, statistically significant reductions in mortality, time to clinical recovery, and time to viral clearance. Furthermore, results from numerous controlled prophylaxis trials report significantly reduced risks of contracting COVID-19 with the regular use of ivermectin.
Finally, the many examples of ivermectin distribution campaigns leading to rapid population-wide decreases in morbidity and mortality indicate that an oral agent effective in all phases of COVID-19 has been identified."
