In the treatment of COVID-19, ivermectin use is associated with decreased mortality compared to remdesivir use, according to a study published in the International Journal of Infectious Diseases.
Researchers at the University of Miami retrospectively analyzed a national federated database of adults aged 18 and older with a recorded COVID-19 infection between January 2020 and July 2021.
They compared those who used ivermectin but not remdesivir with those who used remdesivir but not ivermectin.
Variables that may have affected COVID-19 survival outcomes were controlled, including “age, gender, race, ethnicity, nicotine use, diabetes mellitus, obesity, chronic lower respiratory disease, ischemic heart diseases, tocilizumab, glucocorticoids, or ventilator use.”
“After using propensity score matching and adjusting for potential confounders, ivermectin was associated with reduced mortality vs remdesivir,” researchers wrote. “To our knowledge, this is the largest association study of patients with COVID-19, mortality, and ivermectin.”
The risk difference was reported at negative 5.224 percent with a confidence interval between negative 7.079 percent and negative 3.369 percent, with a p-value of less than 0.0001, which suggests that the outcome is statistically significant.
Out of 1,761,060 possible COVID-19 patients in the database, researchers deduced two unique cohorts of COVID-19 patients, of whom 1,072 were treated with ivermectin and 40,536 were treated with remdesivir.
Before controlling the variables, the ivermectin cohort had an average age of 51.9 plus or minus 17.8 years, while the remdesivir cohort had an average age of 62 plus or minus 16 years. In the ivermectin cohort, 60 percent were on glucocorticoids and 1 percent needed ventilator support, compared to 64 percent on glucocorticoids and 2 percent needing ventilator support in the remdesivir cohort.
“Further double-blinded placebo-controlled RCTs with large samples are required for definite conclusion,” researchers wrote. “In the future, if more publications are published with the similar result to the current analyses, the certainty of evidence will increase.”
The World Health Organization (WHO) features ivermectin on its List of Essential Medicines. It’s also approved as an antiparasitic agent by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). However, the FDA hasn’t approved the drug to treat or prevent COVID-19 in humans. According to the FDA, taking large doses of ivermectin can be dangerous. Side effects of ivermectin include skin rashes, nausea, and vomiting.
Remdesivir is authorized for emergency use by the FDA to treat COVID-19 for both hospitalized patients and outpatients. According to the FDA, some adverse events associated with remdesivir include allergic reactions, generalized seizures, and rashes. In late 2020, the WHO recommended against the use of remdesivir for COVID-19. Remdesivir has been linked to kidney disease, gastrointestinal symptoms, and other severe side effects, according to some researchers.
Ivermectin has been praised by some doctors as a life-saving early treatment for COVID-19. At least two groups, the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance and the British Ivermectin Recommendation Development Group, have been advocating for the off-label use of ivermectin to treat COVID-19 in its early stages. As of March 8, there are at least 151 studies—of which 103 are peer-reviewed—on the treatment of COVID-19 with ivermectin.
The American Medical Association, the American Pharmacists Association, and the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists said in a joint statement in September 2021 that they were against its use to treat COVID-19 outside of a clinical trial.

So “horse paste” works. Who knew?
Me.
Me too.
now compare kidney (or liver- cant remember which now) damage between the two- Ivermectin doesn’t cause damage- remdesiver does-
I’ve lost a horse or two over the years but never from covid or worms. My wife went through it too. We used banana nut bread and juice. The apple flavor wasn’t that great. Wish I had a Mr Ed to tell me these things. The two horses we got just gripe about feeding time in their language.
Lol.
My family and several friends have been taking Ivermectin medicine in 15 mg tablets as prescribed for almost a year. The drug was developed for human use by pharmaceutical giant Merck in 1980.
It is amazing how many intellectually lazy, ignorant people there are on this forum.
All horses, some conservatives and zero liberals.
There is a side effect discovered with Ivermectin. If you take 30 tablets in a period of around 3 minutes, it curbs your appetite for the next 15 minutes.
Ivermectin, ‘Wonder drug’ from Japan: the human use perspective Feb. 10, 2011 - ncbi.nlm.nih.govDiscovered in the late-1970s, the pioneering drug ivermectin, a dihydro derivative of avermectin—originating solely from a single microorganism isolated at the Kitasato Intitute, Tokyo, Japan from Japanese soil—has had an immeasurably beneficial impact in improving the lives and welfare of billions of people throughout the world.
(snip)
There are few drugs that can seriously lay claim to the title of ‘Wonder drug’, penicillin and aspirin being two that have perhaps had greatest beneficial impact on the health and wellbeing of Mankind. But ivermectin can also be considered alongside those worthy contenders, based on its versatility, safety and the beneficial impact that it has had, and continues to have, worldwide—especially on hundreds of millions of the world’s poorest people.
They just call others lazy and ignorant for having a sense of humor.
Mass murder was committed by the pharma companies and the democrat party by blocking ivermectin.
Friendly fire!…friendly fire! I’m on your side; I think you missed the sarcastic tone of my comment.
Username checks out.
I bought my stash of horse paste in Nov. 2020. Used some during Covid spikes in Winter 2020-21 and Summer 2021, using the FLCCC protocol for prophylaxis. Used it when I got Covid in Jan. 2022 again using FLCCC protocols. I’m still here. Never close to hospitalized.
Any side effects?
NAAAAAAAAAAY!
I liken the Durvet Ivermectin Horst paste fake apple flavor to that used in Jolly Rancher hard candies. It would not surprise me if they were both buying the same stuff to put in their products.
You may find it shocking, but some of us did, indeed, buy and use Ivermectin horse paste over the last two years. A molecule is a molecule, and the dosing calculations are trivial to anyone educated before Common Core math. And personally, I proclaim my use of it with pride and have had fun with it.
I’m actually thinking about a quarterly use going forward. At some point I’ll probably talk to my doc about it. Humans are the only large mammal humans are in contact with for which there isn’t a regular anti-parasite drug recommended. There have been many reports of people eliminating long-ongoing health issues after Ivermectin use, a nice side effect of taking it for Covid treatment or prophylaxis. And the safety profile is very, very good.

Emory University has a very prestigious medical school. The Dean of Emory Medical School has Indian heritage, and co-wrote an article in the Times of India advocating using Ivermectin against Covid, among other things. This has gotten =ZERO= coverage in US media, including his hometown paper, the AJC, and his hometown news network, CNN.
Try to convince me that isn’t newsworthy - both his original article and the non-coverage of it by US media.
Link to the article discussed above, and Emory’s leadership page.

The infographic there is excellent. Summary: The parts of Africa where Ivermectin is in widespread use to prevent a terrible parasitic disease, African River Blindness, also have very low Covid incidence.
Interesting Twitter account that has linked many Ivermectin and other med studies on Covid treatments.

"You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y'all. Stop it."
This bit of stupidity needs to be mocked at every opportunity.
Every "doctor", bureaucrat, or media personality who has repeated the establishment/big pharma lies about Ivermectin and participated in the killing of countless people who could have been saved should be in jail. But since that will never happen, mockery is about all we have left.
Sorry you don't see it that way.
Well good luck. It worked for me and my wife and our horses, and a few people we know. And I ain’t a doctor and I didn’t stay at Holiday Inn Express. My doctor uses the monoclonal treatment and advised the vax. I told him he could have mine and he knows where it goes. I’m over 70 and I ain’t going down without a fight. Regards.
