Purpose: Primary outcome was to measure the number of healthcare workers with symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection and a positive reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) COVID-19 test in the ivermectin group and in the control group. Secondary outcome was to measure the number of sick healthcare workers with a positive RT-PCR COVID-19 test whose condition deteriorated and required hospitalization and/or an Intensive Care Unit (ICU), or who died, in the ivermectin group and in the control group.
Material and methods: This observational and retrospective cohort study was carried out in two medical centers, Centro Medico Bournigal (CMBO) in Puerto Plata and Centro Medico Punta Cana (CMPC) in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. The study began on June 29, 2020, and ended on July 26, 2020. A Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Propensity Score Matching procedure was applied in a 1:1 ratio to homogeneously evaluate 271 healthcare personnel that adhered to a PrEP program with ivermectin at a weekly oral (PO) dose of 0.2 mg/kg, and 271 healthcare personnel who did not adhere to the program were assigned as a control group.
Results: In 28 days of follow-up, significant protection of ivermectin preventing the infection from SARS-CoV-2 was observed: 1.8% compared to those who did not take it (6.6%; p-value = 0.006), with a risk reduction of 74% (HR 0.26, 95% CI [0.10,0.71]).
Conclusions: These results suggest that compassionate use of weekly ivermectin could be an option as a preventive method in healthcare workers and as an adjunct to immunizations,

“ Climate and parasites absolutely have a significant impact on COVID death and infection rates.”
Proof please. I suspect you are making this up. Let’s see tour Lancet studies proving this statement. I want causation, not simple correlation. Not just a single study either, I want several, you know, like how ivermectin has many.
“In addition, the USA and northern Europe set the gold standard for medical research.”
And there is absolutely no science fraud in the US or Europe, right? Everything above board and the wild sums of money being thrown around would never EVER sway “scientists”. Just like global warming, err climate change. It’s all as honest as the day is long. Scientists never have an agenda and would never follow the money. Got it.
“India and Mexico have a terrible record.”
Yet, as they were spiking in cases and hospitalizations they went with Ivermectin and the cases dropped precipitously. Coincidence I’m sure. Check with CNN to be sure.
.
“If you or any other American wants to preemptively take Ivermectin, I have no problem with that.”
Yet here you are poo-pooing ivermectin.
“I will wait to read about it in Nature or The Lancet, first.”
Did you miss where the Lancer did exactly that? The cabal forced them to retract but they did post it. Is the Lancet miraculously immune to outside pressure?
Face it, you have a tendency to trust groups that have proven to be compromised and untrustworthy. It seems moronic and dangerous, but you do you,
I failed to check your post history for prior Q-Commitments.
I see the same pattern again and again on different political issues - above average intelligence mixed with a single minded devotion that borders on mental illness.
You have deliberately misstated my comments about COVID in the tropics.
It is obvious that the COVID death toll in warmer climates is lower than it is in mild or cool climates.
The countries involved are often very poor, and many millions of the residents already use Ivermectin because of the ever present threat of parasites.
Do you really need to read a peer reviewed medical study to know that people with parasites have worse COVID outcomes than people who do not have parasites?
The flaws in your pages and pages of Ivermectin studies should be obvious.
Heterogeneous test groups being compared to heterogeneous placebo groups.
Very low national vaccination rates.
Significant variations in Ivermectin dosage.
Dozens and dozens of Ivermectin studies combined into meta-analyses that do not have a clearly stated methodology.
So, right back where we started.
Ivermectin is a great idea. I wish I could trust the data.
“ My mistake, Skipper.
I failed to check your post history for prior Q-Commitments.”
You forgot to call me Hitler. Or Racist.
When you creep on a poster looking for irrelevant things to discredit them it’s a sign you’ve lost the debate. You only bring it up to generate support against ME, and not my comments/point.
Go ahead, follow the narrative. It obviously doesn’t trip your senses to be on the same side as the entire media. After all these years, most have caught on to immediately suspect whatever they are spinning, but I see you’ve held on. The very fact they are going to such extraordinary effort to shut ivermectin (and other drugs) down should cause one pause. No?
“ Ivermectin is a great idea. I wish I could trust the data.”
Yet you trust CNN, MSLSD, SEEBS, and their ilk. When are you going to open your eyes?

Face it, Ivermectin works. You might ask yourself why it’s been attacked so viciously. I know the answer, but perhaps you have an opportunity to have an epiphany.
Although I don’t expect you to open your mind even a little bit, I ran across this and immediately thought of you, and your misplaced infatuation with the Lancet. Now you can continue to trust the untrustworthy, but you might want to stop trying to convince the rest of us to be as foolish as you choose to be.
Turns out, they are not to be trusted. Infiltrated by the Chinese and doing their bidding. But hey, nothing to see here, right? SMH
They used the useless PCR test, therefore, this ‘study’ is invalid.
I am still trying to get him to take Vitamin D and zinc though.
If one supplement has bad effects, he might be more reluctant in the future.
Milk and meat contain zinc. I think zinc supplements might irritate the intestine.
If he gets about 5 minutes of sunlight on his arms three days per week, he might have a good level of vitamin d.
For a long time, people in cold countries took 10 micrograms of vitamin d per day. If one takes it, I think that’s a good amount.
Sad to see so many on FR failing to appreciate that they are being lied to for the "greater good." The greater good for oligarchs, authoritarians, and billionaires.
I wonder if the horse paste protects from the effects of being forced to take the shots.
Thanks for your reply. We do make a point to get in the sun every day. We use this as a gauge but we are usually out longer than this http://health101.org/misc/Chart_UV_Index.jpg
He is on keto, tons of red meat, so he is probably is getting plenty of zinc
Common knowledge since Summer 2020.
I probably posted some of the original articles, but it takes too long to click back a whole year to find them.
Judicial Watch has been all over Fauci, Gain of Function, NIH funding, and the Wuhan Leak since Day One.
And in case you missed it, a couple days ago I posted a Nature article about Probenecid (gout medicine) stopping COVID replication...

Finally, I have never once suggested that people should not take Ivermectin, only that I plan to wait for more establishment approval before I start thinking about it.
That might be a problem...we know HCQ couldn't stop the Delta variant in India.
Aren't we up to the Mu variant now?
India has been successfully using ivermectin against “Delta”:

I’ve known about it for some time, but ran across it again and wanted to point out that your deferral to those at the Lancet is misplaced trust.
You are the one who claimed you wouldn’t believe in ivermectin until the Lancet told you to. Concentrate man.
If YOU knew about it then why did you use the Lancet as an authority beyond reproach just a few days ago? That literally makes zero sense.
Is this what "success" looks like?
Did you read the article? They started ivermectin in the middle of that wave and their cases went from 414,000 cases and 4,000 deaths per day to almost zero in FIVE WEEKS
