Deep State, Big Pharma, and Big Med have blood on their hands.
Ivermectin is a miracle drug except it is too cheap for Big Pharma.
While I agree with your title, and do think that the AMA is compromised, you need to read the article in entirety, which repudiates the title of this article.
The article hot-links to the source report:
https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullarticle/2789362
Read through and note this conclusion:
“Conclusions-—In this randomized clinical trial of high-risk patients with mild to moderate COVID-19, ivermectin treatment during early illness did not prevent progression to severe disease. The study findings do not support the use of ivermectin for patients with COVID-19.”
Note: DID NOT prevent progression to severe disease
Your article is faulty.

The Queen herself got Ivermectin just last week. Its all the rage!!
Cancelling JAMA commences in 3,...2,.....
Good enough for the Queen - but not the commoner?
Ivermectin, on all accounts, is very effective against covid. However, if someone believes they are getting ill from the virus what is the proper dosage of Ivermectin. I’ve seen pills at 3mg. Any websites to reference?
Where does the risk of death being 0.2% come from?
That would be a huge number of deaths.
For any other disease, a 70% reduction in death would be a significant outcome. Peer reviewed and published papers would spell it out plainly. So why was this not done here?
Short version: those treated with ivermectin in this study were less-likely to die than those in the control group; however, because of the sample sizes (about 250 in each group) and the magnitude of the effect, the statistical p-value for the effect was less than 0.95, which is the (somewhat arbitrary) value generally accepted as specifying statistical significance. Based on that detail, the authors could say ivermectin was not effective (essentially appealing to a statistical distinction).
However, since ivermectin (properly prescribed) is for all intents and purposes harmless, it’s hard to see why any reasonable person faced with a loved one dealing with serious Covid, should have any hesitation about treating them with ivermectin, since there is some experimental evidence it can be efficacious, even if that evidence (in this study) does not achieve someone’s desired level of statistical significance.

What’s That?
The only problem is getting it. I’ve seen it for as much as $200/bottle, that in most parts of the world costs $10 or less.
Pretty hard to believe all the Real Studies that were known in March 2020 regarding Ivermectin, are actually still valid and being reaffirmed...

Lots of Rope!
Long been known, I mean geez, they cancelled a number of doctors that indicated such a few years back......go figure.
Three salient points:
1) Only 3 ivermectin patients died, compared to 10 control patients.
2) 52 ivermectin patients progressed to severe disease, compared to 43 control patients.
3) Death is objective; “progressing to severe disease” is subjective.
4) For God knows what reason, doctors knew who were on ivermectin and who were not, inviting biases.
On the topic of #3, only 8 control patients were EVER admitted to ICU. Doctors were so reluctant to put control patients on ICU that at a minimum, only doomed control patients were ever sent to ICU, and even then, two died without ever going to ICU. This shows extreme, almost homicidal subjectivity; we’re scoring treatment effectiveness based on doctor’s willingness to escalate treatment, and doctors know who are the control patients, and show an extreme, almost psychopathic refusal to escalate control patients.
VERDIT: Claims that this study SUPPORTS ivermectin are unsupported, but claims by NEJM that this disproves ivermectin’s effectiveness are murderously unfounded.
