“Per Dr. Peter McCullough (who testified before Congress), it is now thought that up to 85% of those who died, could have been saved with TREATMENT.”
The test tube studies with Ivermectin, where it showed great promise, was done in April, 2020. Considering that Ivermectin is a very safe drug, one has to wonder what would have happened had the drug been used, widescale, at the time, while clinical studies were done.
...with the question being whether the pandemic would have been STOPPED, completely, in its tracks, not just slowed down by the use of Ivermectin?
I don’t know about the 85% figure or estimate, but I do think had we focused on early treatment with the much maligned drugs it would have saved many lives.
We will never know the actual figure because many of the deaths in the early phases were so wrapped in co-morbidity.
Why did we ignore all potential treatments?
Politics (orange man bad), greed (vaccine supremacy), ignorance (Fauci), and hysteria (media).
Here’s some “interesting” data regarding ivermectin studies (lots of tables, charts, graphs):

Conclusion
Ivermectin is an effective treatment for COVID-19. The probability that an ineffective treatment generated results as positive as the 56 studies to date is estimated to be 1 in 2 trillion (p = 0.00000000000041). As expected for an effective treatment, early treatment is more successful, with an estimated reduction of 78% in the effect measured using random effects meta-analysis (RR 0.22 [0.12-0.39]). 81% and 96% lower mortality is observed for early treatment and prophylaxis (RR 0.19 [0.07-0.54] and 0.04 [0.00-0.58]). Statistically significant improvements are seen for mortality, ventilation, hospitalization, cases, and viral clearance. The consistency of positive results across a wide variety of heterogeneous studies is remarkable, with 95% of the 56 studies reporting positive effects (26 statistically significant in isolation).
