Are you a doctor? Did you read the .pdf analysis?

What would that matter if I was a Doctor.

The fact is the studies are all from 3rd world countries. You need a large study done in the US, Canada, or Europe to prove a benefit.

I am not against people taking ivermectin, I took it when I got COVID-19 (see my post 29).

I am against people overstating the evidence on Ivermectin. To date the only study published from the US was the Broward Health Study that found a benefit in hospitalized patients. The study was small. It needs to be replicated on a larger scale.

Yes I took Ivermectin, but I did so with the approval of the Doctor I saw. I did so also knowing there is little evidence it would be effective.

The current study points to the need for a larger study to determine effectiveness. At this point in time with dwindling cases in the United States we may never get that large study.

In a disease that the death rate in people under 65yo is about 0.5% you will need to study 20,000 people with confirmed disease just to get to an expected 100 deaths. That is a big study. Unless you get buy in from the federal government for funding who is going to perform that study?

You did not read the .pdf

I have no interest in arguing this crap with you. You can think whatever you like.

Won’t change anything.

End Trans.
