A newly released study from Brazil of over 150 thousand subjects found that regular prophylactic use of ivermectin “was associated with significantly reduced COVID-19 infection, hospitalization, and mortality rates.”
The largest ivermectin study to date was conducted in Itajaí, Brazil, between July 2020 and December 2020. It recently passed rigorous peer-review and was published this week, Dr. Pierre Kory noted on Twitter.
Background: Ivermectin has demonstrated different mechanisms of action that potentially protect from both coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection and COVID-19-related comorbidities. Based on the studies suggesting efficacy in prophylaxis combined with the known safety profile of ivermectin, a citywide prevention program using ivermectin for COVID-19 was implemented in Itajaí, a southern city in Brazil in the state of Santa Catarina. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of regular ivermectin use on subsequent COVID-19 infection and mortality rates.
Researchers invited the entire population of Itajaí to enroll in the program and compiled baseline, personal, demographic, and medical information on participants.
In the absence of contraindications, ivermectin was offered as an optional treatment to be taken for two consecutive days every 15 days at a dose of 0.2 mg/kg/day. In cases where a participating citizen of Itajaí became ill with COVID-19, they were recommended not to use ivermectin or any other medication in early outpatient treatment. Clinical outcomes of infection, hospitalization, and death were automatically reported and entered into the registry in real time. Study analysis consisted of comparing ivermectin users with non-users using cohorts of infected patients propensity score-matched by age, sex, and comorbidities. COVID-19 infection and mortality rates were analyzed with and without the use of propensity score matching (PSM).
The results showed a 6.6 percent infection rate for non-users of ivermectin, and a 3.7 percent infection rate for regular users of the drug, a 44 percent reduction in the COVID-19 infection rate.
There was also a 56 percent reduction in the hospitalization rate for ivermectin users (44 versus 99 hospitalizations).
The most striking result was the difference in the mortality rate. Of the subjects who were infected, those who regularly used ivermectin had a 70 percent reduction in COVID-19 mortality.
The study is just one of dozens that shows ivermectin is an effective treatment for COVID. Dr. Kory, one of the drugs biggest advocates expressed frustration with the medical establishment’s refusal to approve early treatments for people suffering with COVID.
“People are dying because they’re being deprived of highly effective, cheap, widely available drugs that do not present as obscene profits to the pharmaceutical companies,” Kory said on Fox News earlier this month.
The corporate media meanwhile still refuses to challenge the medical establishment’s false narrative on early treatments, even when proven wrong by studies like this one. “Crickets from across the world’s major media. The global war on repurposed drugs marches on,” Kory Tweeted.
Kory is one of 33 guest speakers—including Doctors Peter McCullough, Robert Malone, Paul Marik, and Ryan Cole—who will participate in a “Defeat the Mandates” rally in Washington DC on January 23.
Pffft. What do the bureaucrats say though? We can’t have doctors dictating medical care.
Ummm...Saint Fauci of Wuhan would not approve of these results. The publication must be retracted immediately.
Yeah?,,, and?
Been known for over a year, but it isn’t the “correct” position to hold, so it will get buried, again.
Everyone KNEW, which is why the FDA and US Postal Office
COLLUDE in their genocidal ways.
Science? forgetabout it for them.
Constitution? forgetabout it for them.
Freedom, Choice and Health? forgetabout it for YOU.
How about a US Stamp of the hangings that are coming?
Dr faunocchio says NOT SO! Just more misinformation.
My 16 year old daughter caught covid and was having a rough time due to it complicating her asthma. He doctor decided to give Ivermectin a try. A day later she was on the upbound.
Just my personal experience, but Ivermectin should be up for discussion with your Doc if you catch covid and are symptomatic.
Around 63 studies have been done on Ivermectin around the world, all showing it too be really effective, what number is this one ??
Point being, anyone who tells you they’re not studies on Ivermectin, you can point to this one and the other 60+ studies that show Ivermectin’s effectiveness.
This was known by our government since day one.
they know but they dont care
get your jab over and over again
The politicians cannot make any real money if people use Ivermectin.
They ain’t stopped my horse paste orders from arriving every few months. But they have stopped some of the oat shipments.
Also: Neil Cavuto’s ratings in the dumper.
a cheap and safe alternative was available all the time, which once known meant that there was no justification for continuing an experimental “warp speed” mrna jab program.
it should have been dropped or tracked onto the regular testing schedule for a “vaccine.”
Shocking!
This isn’t going to impress anyone but the ivermectin is a miracle drug group.
No randomized control group.
No placebo.
Self-selected participants.
Praise God for your doctor taking care of your girl. Glad to hear this success story.
It’s an interesting study but I don’t see the reference. Anyone have the publication reference. Which journal and the citation. I would like to read the actual publication.
