Abstract of article published in The Lancet ^ | 12/15/20250 | Nasir Afsar, et al.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: SARS-CoV-2 infection (COVID-19) is a potentially lethal disease that may progress into severe respiratory distress syndrome requiring ventilatory support. While azithromycin (AZI) and hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) are considered similar to placebo in COVID-19, other drugs such as ivermectin (IVER), are being repurposed to treat this pandemic. This study was designed to assess the effects of ivermectin on duration of febrile illness and disease outcomes in mild-to-moderate COVID-19 infection in a community setting.

METHODS: In this case-control study 95 suspected patients of mild-to-moderate COVID-19 were included. The controls (Group-A) received AZI+HCQ for seven days while the cases (Group-B) received IVER+AZI+HCQ for six days.

RESULTS: A total of 41 patients were in Group-B, while 54 patients were in Group-A. Group-B had consistently and significantly shorter span of fever on days 5, 7, 10 and 14, where the logistic regression showed IVER as the major (Exp B 49·55; p<0·001) underlying factor. The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that Group-A had a prolonged febrile illness (p<0·001).

CONCLUSIONS: Ivermectin use is associated with reduced duration of febrile illness in COVID-19 in outpatient setting, thus potentially saving precious lives, reducing direct load on healthcare facilities and preventing high cost of management in a community setting.

FUNDING: This study did not require any funding.

DECLARATION OF INTERESTS: The authors state there is nothing to declare.

ETHICS APPROVAL STATEMENT: The Ethical Review Committee of Jinnah Medical and Dental College, Karachi approved the study.

But then I met this Portuguese waitress.

Amazing. All of a sudden the Orangeman bad drugs and treatments aren’t the most dangerous and deadly things since Ricin. What changed?

1) EUA was achieved(Emergency Use Authorization)
2) ByeDet, his Fraudulency, borrowed votes
3) Improvement in the “”battle against CCP-19 virus” after ByeDet is in is good optics for the brainless, non-thinking masses.

EUA could not be granted if there exists any other proven treatment.

“Under section 564 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), the FDA Commissioner may allow unapproved medical products or unapproved uses of approved medical products to be used in an emergency to diagnose, treat, or prevent serious or life-threatening diseases or conditions caused by CBRN threat agents when there are no adequate, approved, and available alternatives.”

THAT and big profit$$$ are why all other treatments that work have been swept under the rug by mass media and “expert$”.....especially re-purposed older meds(i.e. Ivermectin).

How hard is it to get your hands on Ivermectin when you’re not sick (nor have worms). I’d like to have some on hand just in case

There are other drugs doramectin and eprinomectin used in livestock. Does anyone know if they would produce similar results?

It doesn’t matter, just like with HCQ, its not about the “science”, its about what politicians want.

It works, which is why the NIH, fda & big Pharma are suppressing it.

I used pushhealth.com.

Script was sent to a local pharmacy that very day and I picked up.

The wife and I took the .2mg/kg dosage on days 1 and 3. Today is day 5 with no problems.
