Ivermectin ineffective in preventing severe COVID-19-study
Reuters ^ | February 18, 2022

Posted on 02/18/2022 3:31:07 PM PST by Coronal

Malaysian researchers found that treatment with the anti-parasite drug ivermectin did not prevent patients with COVID-19 from becoming severely ill in a randomized clinical trial published in the JAMA Internal Medicine journal on Friday.

The researchers said their findings do not support the use of ivermectin for patients with COVID-19.

The study enrolled 490 patients with mild to moderate illness at 20 hospitals and a COVID-19 quarantine center in Malaysia. Everyone received standard care; half the group also received ivermectin.

Severe disease developed in 21.6% of the patients given ivermectin and in 17.3% of those who received only standard care, the researchers said.They defined severe disease as requiring oxygen to help with breathing.

There were no statistically significant differences between the groups in rates of ICU admission, need for mechanical ventilation, or death, according to the study.

Then it’s a crap study with a worse headline. Ivermectin works extremely well for entire nations. One American doctor reports 500,000 cases treated by his practice with only four fatalities.

Uttar Pradesh, Most of Africa, Mexico, Guatemala and others might tend to disagree with Malaysia.

“Doctors and patients all knew which group the patients had been assigned to, and this kind of “open-label” trial design could have introduced bias”

Ya think? What about the control group treating themselves on the sly?

Go do some research on the internet, and you might find Malaysia is a much more modern country than Uttar Pradesh, Most of Africa, Mexico, or Guatemala. FWIW, most of Africa isn’t getting any covid treatments.

biden proved the kung flu is a scam when he opened our southern border and spread over 2 million nondocumented unvaccinated invaders across our country during a supposed “global pandemic” while the centers for disease control and the world health organization silently sit back and watch...

Yup. Furthermore, typically Ivermectin is part of a cocktail consisting of Ivermectin, Vitamin D3 and Zinc.

Randomized controlled trials are our strongest source of medical information.

https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullarticle/2789362

” 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.”

Once again, for the mentally impaired: Ivermectin works as a preventative medication. Itā€™s not indicated for hospitalized patients. Another disingenuous study.

You canā€™t trust your own results donā€™t you knowā€¦ā€¦.trust the ā€œmediaā€ and the ā€œgovernmentā€ and the medical industrial complexā€¦ā€¦ā€¦.

One thing Covid sure did was expose just how many enemies we have in this country that are more than willing to sacrifice our lives for their profit and never bat an eye.

Just think a Kennedy none the less wrote a book about the fraud Fauci.

Nowhere in the documents presented did I find reference to including zinc, C, D3 and zpack. Ivermectine without zinc is like a gun without a bullet according to Dr Malone.

Nothing prevents studies... or their results being what their organizers wish.

As of 18 February 2022, Malaysia

https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/region/malaysia

Deaths 32,240

Mortality Rate -

( 32,240 "official Mayasian deaths" / 33,036,315 population of Malaysia ) x 100 = 0.0975 % death rate.

Less than one-tenth of one percent over more than two years' "data."
