One thing that might help with these discussions of different potential therapies for the CCP virus would be a pointer to the well-established “strength of recommendation” and “Level of Evidence” schema that have been used for many years.

What one would want in a perfect world would be a “Systematic review of (homogeneous) randomized controlled trials” for every treatment and condition. (I’ll give a link at the end of this for my source)

But, this isn’t a perfect world, and amazingly, the medical profession appears to have recognized this. There are other levels of evidence that we have to work with in life, and the best we can do is try to think clearly about risks vs. benefits when time is a critical factor in making the evaluation of whether or not to try something.

You can find a freshman level summary of this idea here: https://guides.library.stonybrook.edu/evidence-based-medicine/levels_of_evidence

“ But we disagree with how most practice evidence-based medicine. We think they are way too biased toward randomized controlled trials and completely dismiss evidence from anything but RCTs. We think that’s harmful and loses a lot of valuable data.”

DITTO!

Regarding ivermectin for prophylaxis, they cite four randomized controlled trials and three observational studies. Two of the RCTs were done in Egypt, one in Argentina, and one in Bangladesh, ranging in size from 100 to 300 patients. Marik and colleagues also cite "natural experiments" in Peru, Brazil, and Paraguay where ivermectin was distributed widely, with "large decreases in case counts ... soon after distribution began."

I'm not waiting to get infected.

Why would the swamp allow a drug you can buy for $10 at the farm and ranch store when they could spend trillions and keep nations in perpetual lock down grovelling at their feet?

Fallout from OBAMA care is that med community fears unorthodoxy like the plague,they use their AI programs to dodge actually treating the patient as an individual, ONE SIZE FITS ALL.

A little off topic ...

I'm trying to get veterinary grade Ivermectin but they require authorization from the vet. Does anyone know of a 'work around'?
Something like this product...

How can we “follow the science” when people want to claim that their favorite treatment is so good that we don’t need to establish effectiveness scientifically?

HCQ was touted early this year as being so effective that controlled trials would be unethical. Now similar claims are being made for ivermectin. Just how many miracle cures do we need?
