Excerpt from the article - "Early on, limited trials suggested that ivermectin may have activity against SARS-CoV-2 in cells exposed to high concentrations of the drug in laboratory tests. However, more recent trials have shown no benefit. In fact, achieving the plasma concentrations necessary for the antiviral efficacy detected in those studies would require administration of ivermectin doses up to 100-fold higher than those approved for in humans."

The medical industrial complex will NOT come out of this. They have such a serious crisis of confidence right now, and they’re going to lose the trust of most of the people around the world. This won’t be paved over.
Big Pharma greasing their palms.
Oh, interesting. From a hospital group just a short drive from Chapel Hill NC. Chapel Hill, where the gain of function experimentation was started before it moved to Wuhan.
Nice try.
Yeah, sure. Whatever you say, liar.
Lies, lies and more lies -
Ivermectin for COVID-19: real-time meta analysis of 63 studies
And this would include all the FAKE studies deliberately run to undermine it.
liars, bald faced liars
Yep.
Next thing you know OSHA will tell us water doesn’t put out paper fires only gasoline does.
Uvermectin has worked well for some of the people in my area. Maybe the NC version has political intervention.
I know 12 people that seem to contradict this thread’s initial story.
THEY ARE SHAMELESS, VENAL CRIMINALS, WHO ARE ACCESSORIES TO MURDER! THEY SHOULD BE IMPARTIALLY INVESTIGATED...THEN PROSECUTED, AND HANGED!
So these cretins have apparently never heard of a couple of countries called 'India' and 'Japan'.
When my wife was diagnosed a month ago the doc here in Florida immediately prescribed her Ivermectin in pill form. That, and a MAB infusion the next day, and she was A-OK in a week.
A flagrant example of pure propaganda.
Novant Health issues statement on leaked internal discussion of COVID-19 patient numbers
Per the Novant employee at the link, refuseniks are all gonna die.
Yup, I'm gonna take him seriously. Big Med is sounding desperate.
“Yeah, sure. Whatever you say, liar.”
Are you calling me a liar? I made two statements in posting the article:
1) Novant Health is against ivermectin’s use in Covid 19 treatment and is all in on vaccines.
2) I also stated this is “another example of big providers in alliance with big government.”
I made no claim the position of Novant was correct. Which statement I actually made is untrue?
Also ignores the NIH’s findings

Abstract
Background: Repurposed medicines may have a role against the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The antiparasitic ivermectin, with antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties, has now been tested in numerous clinical trials.
Areas of uncertainty: We assessed the efficacy of ivermectin treatment in reducing mortality, in secondary outcomes, and in chemoprophylaxis, among people with, or at high risk of, COVID-19 infection.
Data sources: We searched bibliographic databases up to April 25, 2021. Two review authors sifted for studies, extracted data, and assessed risk of bias. Meta-analyses were conducted and certainty of the evidence was assessed using the GRADE approach and additionally in trial sequential analyses for mortality. Twenty-four randomized controlled trials involving 3406 participants met review inclusion.
Therapeutic advances: Meta-analysis of 15 trials found that ivermectin reduced risk of death compared with no ivermectin (average risk ratio 0.38, 95% confidence interval 0.19-0.73; n = 2438; I2 = 49%; moderate-certainty evidence). This result was confirmed in a trial sequential analysis using the same DerSimonian-Laird method that underpinned the unadjusted analysis. This was also robust against a trial sequential analysis using the Biggerstaff-Tweedie method. Low-certainty evidence found that ivermectin prophylaxis reduced COVID-19 infection by an average 86% (95% confidence interval 79%-91%). Secondary outcomes provided less certain evidence. Low-certainty evidence suggested that there may be no benefit with ivermectin for “need for mechanical ventilation,” whereas effect estimates for “improvement” and “deterioration” clearly favored ivermectin use. Severe adverse events were rare among treatment trials and evidence of no difference was assessed as low certainty. Evidence on other secondary outcomes was very low certainty.
Conclusions: Moderate-certainty evidence finds that large reductions in COVID-19 deaths are possible using ivermectin. Using ivermectin early in the clinical course may reduce numbers progressing to severe disease. The apparent safety and low cost suggest that ivermectin is likely to have a significant impact on the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic globally.

A small double-blind placebo controlled trial dosing 0.2mg/kg of Ivermectin for 3 days among people who were quarantined for covid that it provided a 2.4x greater improvement (defined as “undetectable levels of virus in the blood”) on day six compared to those who received placebo.
Note to Novant: We don’t know anyone who’s died from CoupFlu. But we do know one person a vaccine nearly killed.
No need for it. There are enough excellent treatments.
Upon knowing or assuming you have covid, the top priority is to keep it out of your lungs. Sure, you don’t feel well, but this is no time to sit and wait til it reaches your lungs. Immediately rinse your nasal passages with Neilmed bottles and salts, feel free to add a couple drops of apple cider vinegar. Make sure at least some gets into your throat and mouth. Keep that up a couple times a day.
Also immediately start nebulizing. Medicine if you do that, or simply food grade hydrogen peroxide (not the cheap 3%) diluted 1:10 with sterile water (distilled in a pinch), using a tabletop nebulizer in a private bathroom as the droplets will have covid in them, fine to use in a bathroom shared with your already exposed loved ones.
And then there are all the vitamins and supplements you can easily buy and take, as well as Advil if you have the severe pain symptom. Sleep and rest and you won’t be hospitalized.
Uh-huh. Like clockwork.
“...achieving the plasma concentrations necessary for the antiviral efficacy detected in those studies would require administration of ivermectin doses up to 100-fold higher than those approved for in humans.”
I have read this or similar many times now.
What is this claim based on? What studies? Done by whom?
