If you look at the reported numbers in the study, the Ivermectin group was far less likely to be intubated, end up in the ICU, and die. The conclusion and headlines don't match the data

A few thoughts:

1. This is a study on high risk patients. Most people aren’t high risk. Obviously being more susceptible to Covid could impact how you should be treated. Where’s the study on the general population?

2. They didn’t test it as a prophylaxis. That’s one of the biggest questions.

3. Someone who knows more about stats will have to answer this. But how the heck is this:

28-day in-hospital death in 3 (1.2%) vs 10 (4.0%) (RR, 0.31; 95% CI, 0.09-1.11; P?=?.09). The


Not statistically significant?

The dosage should be .04-.06 mg/kg once a day for 5 days. They chose .04mg… They should do it again at at least .06mg/kg if not more.
It says they administered 4 times a day but was the .04 the total of tge 4 doses per day?
As previous poster stated.. very sloppy study. and oversimplified conclusions

So basically the same result as the vaccine. Except one drug is extremely safe and has been used for years with little to no side effects. The other one sometimes causes heart and clotting issues.

I know which one I would pick.
