My statement was that ivermectin is not commonly used as a preventative in Africa, certainly not enough to account for the favorable experience of hundreds of millions of black people in a tropical climate.
I stand by it.
Isn’t that why Ivermectin was invented — for India and Africa because of the parasite issues?
You must live in a cave or something. Do you know the meaning of the word prophylaxis ?
=====================================================
"Many regions around the world now recognize that ivermectin is a powerful prophylaxis and treatment for COVID-19. South Africa, Zimbabwe, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Mexico, and now, India, have approved the drug for use by medical professionals. The results as seen in this latest study demonstrate that the ivermectin distribution campaigns repeatedly led to “rapid population-wide decreases in morbidity and mortality.”
=====================================================================

And let's not forget the Lancet article on which the FDA condemns IVM was pulled. It's clear, even to the public, that the dosages used in the study were ridiculously set, and applied outside the window of prophylaxis, when the virus was well into its reproduction cycle, with severe symptoms.
