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?

High risk patients are who dies of covid. Almost no one, who is not high risk, dies of covid. I’Ve been telling all the ivermectin yo-yos this for a year: All these low risk people who took ivermectin, and lived, describe their experience, and it sounds just like mine, and everyone else who didn’t take anything.

The data is overwhelming that if you have no natural immunity, and you want to medicate to avoid covid’s worst outcomes, you should get vaccinated. Your chances would improve by about 6300%, and the side effects are either very mild or extraordinarily rare.

Notice the wide confidence interval (CI). The study was underpowered to show significance in that secondary outcome minus a huge difference.
