It may hurt you if it delays proper care — that is the main concern. The paper declares its bias, so it is well written and reports that there could be bias in the exact same way that VAERS which is considered the holy grail by some states it has a bias in terms of reporting — the paper handled that issue
The study is accurate by all medical standards. I though prefer the antidotal evidence for effectiveness. Oh, I’m also a pharmacist and frontline fill ivermectin and associated meds. I have first hand observations and follow up contact with patients that have been treated. For some, it doesn’t seem to matter and for others, it appears to help.... but was it the drug? There are too many mitigating factors to say ABSOLUTELY ivermectin made a difference. This person may have had a good outcome anyway w/o using the drug.
So, please, refrain from accusing someone of basically being a “¥^§$=/@#”. And also, the cost MAY be $10 if it is covered by your insurance. Cash is $300+ !!
And pray tell, what is ‘ the proper care’ currently being offered, outpatient, in the first 3 days after symptoms develop?
Throughout this pandemic, the standard of care offered when someone is first diagnosed is “ isolate at home, drink fluids, take tylenol, go to the hospital if you can’t breathe’
So how does prescribing 3 doses of ivermectin, or passing out ziverdo ( zinc, doxycycline, ivermection) kits, used in India Japan and Mexico ( of which I have several at home, onhand ) in an early pre- hospitalization outpatient protocol “ delay proper care”?
And if a patient is deteriorating and facing a vent, are you saying giving them ivermectin takes the place of “proper care” instead of adding to it?
Drs like this are why no family member of mine will submit themselves to a hospital that does not incorporate ivermectin in the treatment plan, as described by EVMS, Paul Marik protocol.
Vlad Zelenko has commented that the two greatest risk factors facing covid patients, are the govt they live under, and the doctor they choose.
