One of the first reactions to the new WHO guideline over Ivermectin came from the Frontline COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance, which issued a statement on the very same day, highlighting major flaws in the new guideline. (see article in French)
FLCCC is “disappointed” by “what appears to be a deliberate omission of data by the World Health Organization in arriving at its decision to not recommend ivermectin to prevent and treat COVID-19.”
“The latest guidance from WHO ignores several large clinical trials where ivermectin was proven to prevent mortality by more than 68%.”
FLCCC’s statement warns countries about following the new WHO guideline:
“If the WHO guidance is followed, it will result in a further deprivation of a lifesaving drug and will only prolong the pandemic as it will continue to threaten the health of the global population.”
“I am deeply troubled that the WHO made this hasty decision on guidance before reviewing all available data,” said Pierre Kory, MD, MPH, president and chief medical officer of the FLCCC.
“Their recommendation ignores the evidence, creates more controversy, and will only lead to continuing suffering and death from COVID-19.”
“There are now over 24 randomized trials results that have been reported to the Unitaid/WHO team yet todays guidance was inexcusably based on a faulty analysis of just 16 of the available trials.”
“Further, these erroneous findings directly conflict with numerous other peer-reviewed expert analyses that have found the data overwhelmingly demonstrates that ivermectin saves lives from COVID-19. There is no reason not to recommend it for everyone as a safe drug for prevention and treatment.”
“To ignore the data the way the WHO has, does a disservice to science and to public health. It is time that as physicians we trust our own knowledge on how best to treat our patients.” said Kory.
“Allowing large, conflicted bureaucracies to do the thinking for us will only lead to continued and unnecessary suffering from the pandemic.”

Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance Statement on Weak Guidance on Ivermectin from the World Health Organization (WHO)
WHO ignores significant data, including several large clinical trials, while claiming insufficient evidence to recommend the use of ivermectin to prevent and treat COVID-19
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC), a group of highly published, world-renowned critical care physicians and scholars, is disappointed by what appears to be a deliberate omission of data by the World Health Organization in arriving at its decision to not recommend ivermectin to prevent and treat COVID-19. The latest guidance from WHO ignores several large clinical trials where ivermectin was proven to prevent mortality by more than 68%. If the WHO guidance is followed, it will result in a further deprivation of a lifesaving drug and will only prolong the pandemic as it will continue to threaten the health of the global population.
The latest guidance from the WHO is out of alignment with many national and local health
authorities around the world where ivermectin has been proven to prevent and treat COVID-19.
These countries include, Bulgaria, Slovakia, India, Egypt, Peru, Zimbabwe, and Bolivia, and in several regions a growing number of health authorities have advocated for, or adopted ivermectin across Japan, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, and South Africa and it is now the standard of care in Mexico City.
“I am deeply troubled that the WHO made this hasty decision on guidance before reviewing all available data,” said Pierre Kory, MD, MPH, president and chief medical officer of the FLCCC.
“Their recommendation ignores the evidence, creates more controversy, and will only lead to continuing suffering and death from COVID-19. There are now over 24 randomized trials results that have been reported to the Unitaid/WHO team yet todays guidance was inexcusably based on a faulty analysis of just 16 of the available trials. Further, these erroneous findings directly conflict with numerous other peer-reviewed expert analyses that have found the data overwhelmingly demonstrates that ivermectin saves lives from COVID-19. There is no reason not to recommend it for everyone as a safe drug for prevention and treatment.”
The recent results of a comprehensive assessment of existing ivermectin trials demonstrated that it reduces the risks of transmission of COVID-19 by more than 90%. The Technical Working Group of the British Ivermectin Recommendation Development (BIRD) group presented the results to their Recommendation Development Panel and the presentation laid out the detailed results of a systematic review and meta-analysis of 21 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of ivermectin on over 2,500 patients.
“To ignore the data the way the WHO has, does a disservice to science and to public health. It is time that as physicians we trust our own knowledge on how best to treat our patients.” said Pierre Kory, MD, MPH, president and chief medical officer of the FLCCC. “Allowing large, conflicted bureaucracies to do the thinking for us will only lead to continued and unnecessary suffering from the pandemic.”

WHO advises that ivermectin only be used to treat COVID-19 within clinical trials
The current evidence on the use of ivermectin to treat COVID-19 patients is inconclusive. Until more data is available, WHO recommends that the drug only be used within clinical trials.
This recommendation, which applies to patients with COVID-19 of any disease severity, is now part of WHO’s guidelines on COVID-19 treatments.
A guideline development group was convened in response to the increased international attention on ivermectin as a potential treatment for COVID-19. This group is an independent, international panel of experts, which includes clinical care experts in multiple specialties and also include an ethicist and patient-partners.
The group reviewed pooled data from 16 randomized controlled trials (total enrolled 2407), including both inpatients and outpatients with COVID-19. They determined that the evidence on whether ivermectin reduces mortality, need for mechanical ventilation, need for hospital admission and time to clinical improvement in COVID-19 patients is of “very low certainty,” due to the small sizes and methodological limitations of available trial data, including small number of events.
The panel did not look at the use of ivermectin to prevent COVID-19, which is outside of scope of the current guidelines.
that’s my understanding too- without it- the virus will replicate- with it- it gets inactivated or something- but the ivermectin is what allows the zinc to get to the virus, or something like that
FLCCC is huge on ivermectin- i believe it was on their site awhile back that i was seeing that it was touted as over 80% effective- i just wondered why the drop in effectiveness since then-
one of the reasons i ask is because I’ve been taking it right along- the stuff from tractor supply- not prescription-
FLCCC was also advocating HCQ, IIRC.
If the government and medical community, esp big pharma, spent half the time on other forms of treatment as they have on these so-called vaccines, I have no doubt they would have found something very effective and would have saved thousands of lives.
The way this whole “pandemic” has been handles is reprehensible, and I am not referring to President Trump’s actions.
at least 10’s of 1000’s of lives- many 10’s of 1000’s. If states had OK’d HCQ, or Ivermectin, folks getting their first symptoms of covid could have taken them, along with the zinc of course, and very likely not have ended up in ICU in the numbers that we had- I hold governors directly responsible for the deaths of many 10’s of 1000’s, especially those governors who knew that sending sick people into nursing homes, without providing the elderly any protection, was doom for the elderly.
O’m praying that God hold them aCCOUNTIBLE FOR THIS TRULY ‘cRIMES AGAISNT humanity” THAT THEY COMMITTED AGAISNT OUR NATION’S MOST VULNERABLE CITIZENS - woops cps loc
i know that front line doctors was touting HCQ big time- not sure if they are FLCCC or not- I think they might be different- they had Simone Gold, the doctor that spoke at the news conference and was excoriated by the left-
The act of ordering nursing homes and care facilities to take sick people was unconscionable and plain outright murder..
Everyone knows that even a cold for many of those older people could be fatal and you avoid spreading it during cold and flu season.
There are many people who have blood on their hands and I want to see God hold them accountable.
Thanks, Lope, for posting that link to Dr Ryan Cole, who claims that Ivermectin is safe and effective for China virus....AND.....ALL variants that may come about.....
Here is a recap I found, that goes with the video you posted (I believe it goes with...not sure if it’s from exact lecture, but seems like it could be)......
DR. RYAN COLE, a Medical Doctor in Idaho speaks about the Covid-19 corona virus and about the mRNA vaccine which is not a vaccine but a gene modifier which is an experimental treatment. More importantly the doctor talks about the great importance of vitamin D and how it has a big impact on the health of your immune system. He also talks about how safe and very effective Ivermectin is for treating Covid-19 and new viral variants that would arise. The mRNA jabs killed all animals in animal trials of the past, and animals share a majority of the same DNA as humans do. Common Sense tells us shots that are bad for them are generally bad for us, medications that are good for them are good good for us. Humans are animals too. He also mentions about how masks do nothing to protect you from viruses and are useless for that purpose. Please share this video with everyone....
Link to your Dr Cole vid, again....
