Abstract and Figures

Background:

Ivermectin has demonstrated different mechanisms of actions that could potentially protect from both COVID-19 infection and COVID-19-related comorbidities. Based on the existing literature and safety profile of ivermectin, a citywide program of prophylactic use of ivermectin for COVID-19 was implemented in Itajai, a Southern city in Brazil in the state of Santa Catarina. The objective of this analysis is to evaluate the effects of the use of ivermectin for prevention of COVID-19 infection, risk of dying and mortality, compared to non-users.

Materials and methods:

This is a retrospective analysis of registry data from the medical based citywide COVID-19 prevention with ivermectin program, between July 2020 to December of 2020. The whole population of Itajaí was invited for a medical visit to compile demographic and medical parameters. In the absence of contraindications, ivermectin was offered as an optional treatment for 2 days every 15 days at a dose of 0.2mg/kg/day. Patients’ preferences and medical autonomy were preserved. Ivermectin users were compared with the comorbidity-matched population of non-users for COVID-19 by age, sex, COVID-19 infection rate, and COVID-19 mortality rate. Results in terms of mortality were adjusted for all relevant variables and Propensity Score Matching (PSM) was calculated.

Results:

A total of 220,517 subjects were included in the analysis; 133,051 (60.3%) ivermectin users and 87,466 (39.7%) non-users. COVID-19 infection occurred in 4,311 (3.2%) treated subjects, and 3,034 (3.5%) non-treated subjects.

This evidence showed a 7% reduction in COVID-19 infection rate with use of ivermectin: COVID-19 infection rate ratio (Risk ratio (RR) of 0.93; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.89 – 0.98; p = 0.003).

A total of 62 deaths (1.4% mortality rate) occurred among users and 79 deaths (2.6% mortality rate) among non-users, showing a 48% reduction in mortality rate (RR, 0,52; 95%CI, 0.37 – 0.72; p = 0.0001).

Risk of dying from COVID-19 among ivermectin users was 45% lower than non-users (RR, 0.55; 95%CI, 0.40 – 0.77; p = 0.0004).

Conclusion:

Prophylactic use of ivermectin showed significantly reduced COVID-19 infection rate, mortality rate and chance of dying from COVID-19 on a calculated population-level analysis, which controlled for all relevant confounding variables.

Cannot get it approved from the pharmacy. Where can I get the pills?

Tractor Supply--most easily in a rural area. They also sell it mail-order, and supplies are now back. Get the "injectable" gel labeled for "cattle and swine." (You don't need to inject it, for intelligent human beings.) If you're buying in person and anyone asks (unlikely), you can truthfully tell him it's for an animal. Human beings are, after all, animals.

Squeeze 1 ml of the gel per 115 lbs body weight into a small cup; add water (or vodka) and have the patient drink it. It's not bad--it was invented for people, after all. To measure the amount, you can buy a syringe-like tube for measuring medicine doses at any big drug store. If someone is symptomatic, give him a weight-appropriate dose, wait about 3 hours, and give him another. Then see if he feels improvement.

For people we know with early symptoms, a couple of days of periodic doses has wiped it out. I've never heard of any side-effects.

As a preventive for those who might have been exposed but are asymptomatic, a weight-appropriate dose morning and evening has been effective in warding it off, in our experience.

I just meant to convey that some people are totally deaf to anything other than what they have been convinced of. They don’t care about studies. I clearly didn’t say it very well. I was thinking out loud. Sorry, Steve. I’ve read all of it now and shouldn’t have commented until I had done that. My comment added nothing.

Wife and I have been taking a 12mg pill once a week for a couple of months. It took nearly 3 weeks to arrive through customs from India. Price seems very reasonable. I immediately ordered azithromycin, just in case, and it arrived in 2 weeks.

That’s great, but where is the follow on study to also give this sample Zinc, Vitamin C & D, and maybe even quecertin on top of the Ivermectin.

So about a 10% reduction in infection, but 50% reductions in hospitalizations and deaths.

Not a silver bullet, but very significant.

The dosage and timing are likely not optimized for treatment, so a different protocol might work better.

The FDA is working with the post office to hold packages containing ivermectin. The FDA could better use its resources to, I don’t know, publicly release the docs submitted by Pfizer to license its mandated liability-free V earlier than 75 years from now!

Why are you taking so little? 12mg is half of a weekly dose for someone that weighs 111-10 lbs. The lowest weekly prophylaxis dose according to FLCCC is 16mg per week (8mg twice per week) for someone that weighs 70-90 lbs. For comparison, I’m currently taking 36mg per week (18mg twice per week) and my wife takes 30mg per week (15mg twice per week). If you don’t have enough on hand, I’d suggest saving it for early treatment and taking Nigella Sativa along with the rest of the protocol while saving your IVM supply for if you get Covid. Taking too little doesn’t help, especially against Delta.

The haughty horse paste idiots are so arrogant they can’t see beyond their own snobbish noses.

My brother had covid and was struggling after 2-3 days with monoclonal infusion, and antibiotics for double pneumonia. He finally contacted a doctor who added ivermecton-one pill a day, steroids, Vitamin B,C,D3, zinc and breathing treatments—he played merry hell getting the insurance company to pay for a nebulizer and ended up borrowing one from a neighbor. One pharmacy in all of Knoxville TN would fill the ivermectin script. In two days he was feeling much better.

All the while his employer was threatening to fire him because he hadn’t taken the jab, he had to take it immediately regardless of his current health condition—kudos to you FR vax nazis! He had to get his doctor and an attorney to tell these fanatics you can’t take the jab for 90 days per the high church of covid’s the CDC’s own rules, if you take the monoclonal infusion. So he was fighting covid and the vax nazi’s all at once-they care so much the aholes!

A family friend had covid even worse and her 02 level was down to 75 and she was put on same treatment with 10 ivermectin a day for a week, she is now fully recovered.

“monoclonal infusion, and antibiotics... ivermecton-one pill a day, steroids, Vitamin B,C,D3, zinc and breathing treatments”

I think that is the way to handle it - bring all guns to bear.

Never hold artillery back in reserve.

"What does the study have to do with “natural immunity”?"

If you take Ivermectin as a prophylaxis and still get Covid, (presuming you survive) thereafter you'll have a significant degree of natural immunity.

OTOH, if you take THE JAB, you'll NEVER have natural immunity to the same degree as an unvaxxed individual who caught Covid and survived. And your future "immunity" (as imperfect as it is) will forever be dependent on you continuing to be re-jabbed every time they offer it until you shuffle off this mortal coil.

The obvious implication is that true Herd Immunity is unattainable until all the vaxxed have died.

Ivermectin has nothing to do with “natural immunity”.

Thank you for the link to that article. I’ve saved the pertinent parts.
