New Study Vindicates ‘Horse Dewormer’
The results sure sounds a lot more effective than the so-called COVID-19 vaccines.
Hospitals murdered COVID patients. The more they killed, the more money they made.
And while they were doing so, the propagandists told you ivermectin was a “dangerous horse dewormer.”
Well, it just so turns out that a new study published by the Journal of Infection has found that individuals who tested positive for COVID-19 and were treated with ivermectin recovered quicker than those who didn’t.

The FDA has egg on its face; they’re the ones who told people not to take ivermectin “you’re not a horse...”

I went to the report and found this ...

Findings

The primary analysis included 8811 SARS-CoV-2 positive participants (median symptom duration 5 days), randomised to ivermectin (n=2157), usual care (n=3256), and other treatments (n=3398) from June 23, 2021 to July 1, 2022. Time to self-reported recovery was shorter in the ivermectin group compared with usual care (hazard ratio 1·15 [95% Bayesian credible interval, 1·07 to 1·23], median decrease 2.06 days [1·00 to 3·06]), probability of meaningful effect (pre-specified hazard ratio ≥1.2) 0·192). COVID-19-related hospitalisations/deaths (odds ratio 1·02 [0·63 to 1·62]; estimated percentage difference 0% [-1% to 0·6%]), serious adverse events (three and five respectively), and the proportion feeling fully recovered were similar in both groups at 6 months (74·3% and 71·2% respectively (RR = 1·05, [1·02 to 1·08]) and also at 3 and 12 months.,.

Interpretation

Ivermectin for COVID-19 is unlikely to provide clinically meaningful improvement in recovery, hospital admissions, or longer-term outcomes. Further trials of ivermectin for SARS-Cov-2 infection in vaccinated community populations appear unwarranted.

What am I missing?
