CNN vs Ivermectin
CNN says study shows Ivermectin does not work -- but the study shows that it DOES work ! I posted essentially the same analysis twice, but Igor Chudov has a better presentation with screen shots from the study. So, the study showed that, for Ivermectin vs control group:
4 vs 10 were placed on mechanical ventilation
3 vs 10 died (so 3 Ivermectin patients died, vs 10 without Ivermectin).

PING
Ping!
I’m confused; just the other day I think this same study was cited as evidence that Ivermectin ISN’T effective against Covid. I’m seen studies mentioned on both sides of this question, but I thought this one gave a thumbs-down.
Facts are irrelevant to liberals, even when they’re hit over the head with them. Which doesn’t sound like a bad idea when you think about it.
It was on a Tuesday, he prescribed 4 medications, including the two mentioned above.
I was back at work the following Monday, albeit weaker than normal.
At the time, I had co-morbidities of 65+, Type 2, and overweight. I've gained back half of the lost weight, my BMI is down to 26%, and I'm aiming to stay between 170-175.
I wouldn’t believe anything coming from the Comedian News Network.
Delusion doesn’t sound like a bad idea?
Read the original study and weep!!!!

If you were told that with 250 in the ivermectin arm 3 died; with 250 in the NO ivermectin ar, 10 died, wouldn’t you say the headline should be “ivermectin reduces deaths by 2/3 in study”? They bury it in the report and wish it away as “statistically insignificant.” Berenson good on a lot but not early intervention.
You are much too kind. It’s the Counterfeit News Network!
It’s all about MONEY. Big Pharma charges the government a fortune for every injection. Big pharma pays off politicians and lobbyists to push their jab. Whereas a tablet of Ivermectin is cheap.
Huh? Is that 250 mg of ivermectin in the arm? Is English your second language?
Never believe anything a liberal, CNN or Brandon says. They’ve lied so much about Covid, they don’t remember the truth.
The “arm “ is the “study arm”, very common term to describe the cohorts that are separated for various study interventions. As a matter of fact, English is my second language, I babbled when I was an infant, but I gave it up when I grew up.
I noticed the same thing when they were trying to debunk hydroxy. Phony studies where they juiced the results. And even when they admitted that there were positive results, they never ever included zinc in the treatment.
Small study done prior to the SA variant.
I want to see how Ivermectin does against Omnicron.
I believe in Ivermectin, but this article is bull. The JAMA study referred to is deeply flawed (not at all blind), but those on Ivermectin performed slightly worse than those NOT on it. 21.6% of the patients on Ivermectin required more severe intervention, compared to 17% of the control group.
THAT SAID,
the fact that those who progressed to more severe intervention were more likely to survive if they had been in the ivermectin group suggests that the adverse outcome may show bias on the part of the researchers.
This study definitely should never have been published in JAMA. The fact that researchers hang their hat on the possibility of bias doesn’t mean that it’s OK to publish an obscenely flawed study.
