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.

With such a small group of 490 they need to break down and match the two cohorts by age and co-morbidity and stage of illness to be able to say anything useful.

And yet there are other studies out there that say exactly
the opposite.

They went to the ends of the earth to find this version.

Conclusive? Not buying it...

I would say who cares.

One study. gerrymandered.

Never mind all the other supporting studies.

Not just this as a reason but if you dont believe we are going to have to go to war instead of being subjugated you are living a fairy tale.

I recall a “study” from years ago where a Brit organization said that they had proved that vitamin E did not help with heart problems. So I dug further and discovered that the patients had only been given 100ius of vitamin E daily. The earlier research had said that 800ius daily was the minimum dose for efficacy and that lower levels did nothing. That Brit study was purposefully set up to fail.

The editor of the Lancet stated a couple years ago that at least 50% of all medical research is bogus. Medical research data is untrustworthy.

Also does not specify the ‘standard of care’, ie what that treatment was.

Because they take ivermectin for river blindness so very few cases.

Who cares about modernity. Go do some research yourself and don’t get all hung up on your first world arrogance.

Or put your mask on and go hide in a corner.

Why didn’t they prescribe it to healthy people and see how many developed and see how they progressed to covid and the # of each that got it bad or mild, use groups with HQC and zinc/mag +D, testing those with it won’t tell if it makes it hard to infector blocks the infection.

Dozens of studies prove otherwise.

If you want to believe this, that is certainly your right, but there is a lot of information not provided that could indeed skew the results.

Bottom line is that it doesn't matter. People along with their doctors should have the choice to treat the virus how they want to, and not at the threats of those who want to have dominion over healthcare choices.

However, if you decide that you think they are being totally honest, why are we losing our freedoms over this virus, that has been no deadlier than an average flu season to perhaps a little more than average flu season. Why are people who refuse to take any of the available vaccines losing their jobs over their decision? Especially when it has been not only proven, but admitted that the available vaccines do not prevent those who have been vaccinated (and even boosted) from getting the virus, and spreading of the virus.

Furthermore, if the vaccines do protect those who are vaccinated from getting serious Covid or dying, why would they fear those not vaccinated at all?

Problem is, the available vaccines do not keep those who are vaccinated from getting serious Covid, nor do they even protect them from death.

My Ivermectin Ziverdo kit probably saved my spouse’s life, unlike her younger friend who for the past couple of weeks was being “treated” for Covid in the hospital on a ventilator. He’s now dead. She went to his funeral a few days ago.

Big Pharma propaganda.

Nothing to see here, this is not the study you are looking for.

RE: done by liberals.
.....That may be true for all the observational studies the CDC has been using to push for masking. This study was done at 20 hospitals in Malaysia.

There are at least a dozen actual clinical studies that prove the opposite.

The only thing this article confirms is that the left wants you to die.

We used therapeutics from a two year old study and flew 9 times the past two years, partied and went out to happy hour and restaurants too much. Never got sick until September with the sniffles and then an ear infection in November, about. The same time my son tested positive for Covid and I did not over three weeks of antigen tests. He got ill and had monoclonal therapy, was clear in a week. I had two days of ear infection, treated with Ketorolac for pain and it was over.

None of us are vaccinated. Wife is Native American on the same regiment, I am mostly Scandinavian by DNA. We did not become ill despite a week of exposure.

Therapeutics work. There is obviously something else in play here.

The study: Ivermectin is cheap. Conclusion: it doesn’t work.

Yup. I think this was just another hit piece on the drug.
