WHO: No ‘strong enough’ data to advocate Ivermectin use vs COVID-19
Inquirer.Net ^ | 03/31/2021 | Christia Marie Ramos

The World Health Organization (WHO) is not advocating the use of anti-parasitic drug Ivermectin for the treatment or prevention of COVID-19, its country representative told House lawmakers on Tuesday.

According to WHO Representative to the Philippines Rabindra Abeyasinghe, prescribing Ivermectin without statistically significant evidence of its efficacy against COVID-19 is “harmful” since it would give “false confidence” to the public.

This comes as several lawmakers, during a House health committee hearing on Tuesday, pushed for the use of the medicine for COVID-19 treatment and prevention.

“The issue with the Ivermectin is that based on initial study and the currently available data, it is not strong enough for us to advocate the use of Ivermectin for treatment of COVID or prevention of COVID,” Abeyasinghe said.

“We looked closely at the European Medical Association, they concluded the same thing, we looked at the U.S. FDA (Food and Drug Administration), they concluded the same thing…What they are recommending is that we look at carefully-planned, controlled clinical trials to have proof that Ivermectin works,” he added.

“That is the global evidence that we have, not only from WHO, but also from very stringent regulation authorities and medicines authority both in Europe and in North America,” he further said.

“Without proof, what we are actually creating is a false confidence that if they take Ivermectin, they are going to be protected and that could actually be harmful. That is why it requires a carefully-planned clinical study to understand whether this has a protective efficacy,” Abeyasinghe went on.

“That evidence is currently not available globally,” he added.

The WHO official noted that an initial report, which originated from a study in Australia, was made on Ivermectin’s efficacy to suppress the development of the virus that causes COVID-19.

More from the WHO representative:

The WHO official noted that an initial report, which originated from a study in Australia, was made on Ivermectin’s efficacy to suppress the development of the virus that causes COVID-19.

“They use the concentration of Ivermectin that is a magnitude higher, meaning almost 1,000 times higher than what is normally used in humans,” he said.

“And at this concentration in the laboratory, it showed that Ivermectin can suppress the virus replication now it had very small scale studies following this initial,” he added.

But in countries where Ivermectin is recommended for human consumption, Abeyasinghe said “the results of the Ivermectin trial were statistically not significant.”

Just as I predicted. Since Trump endorsed it, the leftist will quash it.

That will change once the Chinese get their fake Ivermectin factories up and running.

WHO, as in the U.S. are other politically-compromised “health” organizations, is responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths and untold suffering from the Chinese evil spirit (Covid) around the world

Exactly.

So....take your very PROFITABLE, UNPROVEN, questionable safety, experimental ‘vax’.

Got it?

I trust WHO as much as I do the late-night TV ads...WHO wants vaccines in perpetuity as well as Vaccine Passports.

It will be interesting to see the response from Drs. Kory and Marik...

You’re driving towards a wall but are not absolutely sure that by using your brakes you can avoid slamming into the wall and dying.

Therefore you shouldn’t use your brakes and just trust to fate.

I know that Trump endorsed Hydroxychloroquine, I did not know that he also endorsed Ivermectin.

Yes, these people are criminally insane. Makes you lose confidence in the whole medical establishment.

And we are told by WHO and CDC that the mRNA will not really immunize you from COVID but the symptoms will be diminished. So you will be infected but no one will notice. Isn’t that why they made all of us wear masks to begin with? What kind of science backs up what these people are saying? Ivermectin has been proven by the millions of people who have been saved by it. Same goes for the Hydroxychloriquine, zinc and Vitamin D regime that has been successfully used. No way will I be allow an untested experimental vaccine be injected into me. NO WAY!

Yet, they have no problem jumping to conclusions drawn from zero evidence about how this virus was unleashed on the world.
We’re being lied to daily.

OK, since when is a magnitude higher equated to 1,000 times?  We were taught that a magnitude is a factor of 10.   1000X multiplier would be roughly 3 magnitudes of order - am I wrong/too old school?
