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.

The check musta cleared.
Yep.
Note the bias? It may not prevent but it sure does treat.
Even people who support Ivermectin know how to rig a study to fail. Did they do that? Probably.
“Malaysian researchers”

Now, do the combination of FDA and TGA approved Ivermectin, Zinc and Doxycycline.
Why even bother with fake news? Ivm has saved the bacon of everyone i know that has used it, including me. Thats all I need to know.
Yet quite a number of other studies show that given early it keeps the infection from getting severe. Ummm, whom to believe??
It says it "doesn't prevent severe COVID" aka it does not treat. It wasn't test prevention - everyone who got it already had COVID.
There were no statistically significant differences between the groups in rates of ICU admission, need for mechanical ventilation, or death, according to the study.
zinc?
when will they do a study using zelenko’s or malone’s protocol?
In other news...
Bandages don’t prevent bleeding...
Casts don’t prevent broken bones...
Took out the line “The Fauci Medical Research Institute found that.....
They probably didn’t use the Apple favored kind. It would have worked then. We don’t know since Reuters didn’t link to the study.
2 died in the ivermectin group, 10 died in the control group, I’ll take the ivermectin, allow me informed consent.
sorry, 3 died in ivermectin
yeah already saw this posted here.
bs study. dosage was too low.
It wasn’t a blind study.
There’s Hope the UK will give it a fair trial
“The use of ivermectin to treat COVID-19 is currently being investigated in a UK trial run by the University of Oxford. The researchers have said they do not want to comment until they have results to report.
It works if you take it before you are sick enough to go to a hospital.
This is the study to which they are referring.
