This was an article written January this year, reviewing the research done in 2020.

A follow up article was written 5 months later, which can be seen here.

This was a the author's conclusion upon further study:

What we see is a 62% reduction in the relative risk of dying among covid patients treated with ivermectin. That would mean that ivermectin prevents roughly three out of five covid deaths. The reduction is statistically significant (p-value 0,004). In other words, the weight of evidence supporting ivermectin continues to pile up.

It is now far stronger than the evidence that led to widespred use of remdesivir earlier in the pandemic, and the effect is much larger and more important (remdesivir was only ever shown to marginally decrease length of hospital stay, it was never shown to have any effect on risk of dying).

“That would mean that ivermectin prevents roughly three out of five covid deaths.”

So then if the use of Ivermectin and most likely Hydroxachloroquine had been permitted there would have been approximately 370,000 fewer deaths from the China Virus in the US.

Someone needs to hang for this....seriously.

Thank you for being honest enough to reference/quote the follow up article.

I consider you honest anyway, but a lot of pro-jab trolls on the site aren’t.

I’d still like to look at a solid study of Brazil, where ivermectin is cheaper than candy at $5/4, and was reportedly widely used. But Brazil has a very mortality rate - 2nd in the world, higher than India. (US with 35M/624t versus BZ 19M/538t cases/deaths) . One would expect that Brazil would have lower deaths but they are number 3 in cases and number 2 in deaths.
