Significant meta-analysis data demonstrates that there are equivocal. The peer reviewed articles are relatively small in terms of N, and never report the other side of findings.
No offense taken. I will continue to not utilize the medications at bedside as they are not as good as monoclonals. We need to make it known that the Biden admin taking over distribution of monoclonals is a crime against American citizens.
I do not dispute that monoclonals are ideal, but once again many of us do not qualify in our areas. They have loosened restrictions in my area, but the BMI requirement is still too high for me and my husband. But I agree with you we should fight for ALL therapeutics to be available to patients.
I DO dispute your statement that ivm is not effective. You have stated yourself that your treatment experience with ivermectin was with a few family or friends and at a very low dose.
I believe it is time for you to take a closer look at the ivermectin research as well because there are many people for whom it is the only option.
The problem is they have only been prescribed to the "at risk", so not everyone has access and if the Deep State has it's way it will be even tougher.
What I don't understand is the CDC recommends no early intervention.
Why not use ivermectin and hcq instead of nothing?
They both have a history of safety.
Our local hospital, run by Univ of WV Medical School prescribes ivermectin, doxicycline or z pack, Vit C, famatodine and melatonin on suspicion of covid.
Vit D and a steroid if necessary. Last year, a relative who has had 2 strokes and a heart attack contracted it.
Doctor said go home and go to the ER if you can't breathe.
He continued to decline until a friend, who is an MD, convinced him to try the Zelenko protocol.
He levelled off and on day 4 started to improve.
One week later he was up and about.
Again, why the campaign against these safe drugs?
Aren't they better than nothing?
