After reading this I have come to the conclusion that taking Ivermectin has a great chance of helping one get through the china virus along with a likely zero chance of doing harm based on how long it has been around.
Many studies have shown Ivermectin has best efficacy as a pre-exposure and post-exposure prophylactic and in the early stages of the disease. It's surprising to me that the author says he "isn't sure why these studies keep focusing on people with mild disease." Studies of both HCQ and IVM going back to Q1 2020 showed that the medications are nowhere near as effective in the late stages of the disease as they are in the early stages.
Dr. Paul Marik, in his "COVID-19 MANAGEMENT PROTOCOL: An overview of the MATH+ and I-MASK+ Protocols writes:
"While there is no cure or “Magic-bullet” for COVID-19, recently, a number of therapeutic agents have shown great promise for both the prevention and treatment of this disease including Ivermectin, Vitamin D, quercetin, melatonin, Vitamin C and corticosteroids. It is likely that no single drug will be effective in treating this complex disease and that multiple drugs with different mechanisms of action used in specific phases of the disease will be required. Furthermore, a growing body of evidence suggests that many of these agents may act synergistically in various phases of the disease." (page 6)I swear authors such as Dr. Rushworth here are not well read nor well-informed on the disease. Their naiveté is often revealed in their writing."...We developed the MATH+ protocol to provide guidance for the treatment of the late pulmonary phase of this disease with the goal of reducing the hospital mortality from COVID-19. However, it has now become blatantly clear that our emphasis needs to shift to the prevention and early treatment of this catastrophic disease to prevent patients progressing to the pulmonary phase and requiring hospitalization. Hence, we developed the I-MASK+ protocol.
Vaccines and treatments are both extremely valuable and complementary. All practical, effective, and safe means should be used. Elimination of COVID-19 is a race against viral evolution. No treatment, vaccine or intervention is 100% available and effective for all current and future variants. Denying the efficacy of any method increases the risk of COVID - 19 becoming endemic; and increases mortality, morbidity, and collateral damage. We do not provide medical advice So, the very literature some use to bludgeon others on this thread clearly points out that vaccines and treatments are complementary.
The reason that I post this is that there are those who believe that ivermectin is a cure -- it is not in my judgment and from treating several patients with it and seeing them progress (and yes some were even quite early)
I have arrived at the conclusion that every source that talks about the pandemic demonstrates what we have known all along -- that vaccines and treatments are complementary and should be used in tandem. The one treatment that I have seen work even in patients getting awfully close to late phase is Regeneron which also shows good activity against delta variant. Delta variant, for what it is worth, appears a lot more transmissible but somewhat less dangerous. I can say clearly in our area, hospitalizations are way up, but not as many in the ICU. The majority of patients I am seeing are not vaccinated. This is across several large hospitals in a major metropolitan area.
“There are currently five trials of ivermectin for covid listed as completed at clinicaltrials.gov, but for which results haven’t yet been published. However, four out of those five were completed less than two months ago, and one was completed three months ago, so most likely they just haven’t gotten around to posting their results yet.”
Gee, I wonder what$ taking $o long!
I’m sure all of those reports were on ONE single thumb drive, which has probably been lost.
I have been sick with Covid for one week and have lost 17 lbs
Yesterday I could barely get out of bed.
I took Ivermectin yesterday and today I was able to get up and make myself breakfast and take a shower. Two relatives who live nearby also took ivermectin yesterday and both were able to get out of bed some today. All 3 of us are under 50.
I went to TSC (Tractor Supply Center);today and saw a package of Ivermectin on the shelf.
I wish I had looked closer but I was in a hurry.

“The ‘NIH COVID-19 Treatment Guidelines Panel’ updated its recommendation on ivermectin for COVID-19 on January 14, 2021.
“In the update, the NIH removed its recommendation against the use of ivermectin in COVID-19. However, the Panel also declined to recommend ivermectin for use in COVID-19.
About two months after the NIH meeting on ivermectin, the NIH announced the award..funding to study the use of repurposed drugs in COVID-19.
“NIH COVID-19 Panel member received massive windfall from ivermectin non-recommendation - $155M
“The principal investigator of the trial was not identified initially but, in a later announcement, was identified to be Susanna Naggie, who is also a member of the ‘NIH COVID-19 Treatment Guidelines Panel’.
“The two positions Naggie holds clearly represent a conflict of interest. A positive recommendation on the use of the drug (Ivermectin) in COVID-19 would effectively end the(her) clinical trial. The NIH award also raises the question of whether the prospect of the award played a role in the current recommendation on ivermectin.
“The review process of the NIH COVID-19 Treatment Guidelines is beyond suspicious.
“She has not responded..
