Trust me, if ivermectin worked, we'd have gladly used it.

Hcq and azithromycin didn't work after the Italy paper came out showing decreased viral load which proved false.

Ivermectin doesn't work either.

Remdesivir may or may not

Toci is promising but it's still being studied.

Dexamethasone (oh look a cheap drug) based on the recovery trial shows efficacy tho.

Exactly why you should never take an economist’s medical advice. What ulterior motive did these guys have for publishing such misinformation?

Genuinely curious: when was Ivermectin actually trialed clinically? Azithro+Hydroxychlor certainly was, but not the ‘mectin that I recall.

Yeah the data they used was totally BS but the point still stands... lmfao
A study they used was retracted.

The other data stands

Were this a CDC article, they would have doubled down rather than retract.

Well Roaad did you YOU read the study?

I'll give everyone here the cliffnotes. The study that TigerBreath posted as "proof" only shows a difference in viral clearance (time to test negative) on RT-PCR. Every other parameter measured, you know, the clinically meaningful ones, did not show any benefit to ivermectin vs placebo or ivermectin+doxy vs placebo.

Needs a larger trial, assuredly, but supports the OP

You can look at "related articles" underneath for more.

LINK It observed reduced hospitalization time consistent with this study.

Virological clearance was earlier in the 5-day ivermectin treatment arm when compared to the placebo group (9.7 days vs 12.7 days; p = 0.02), but this was not the case for the ivermectin + doxycycline arm (11.5 days; p = 0.27). There were no severe adverse drug events recorded in the study. A 5-day course of ivermectin was found to be safe and effective in treating adult patients with mild COVID-19.

500 patient study, no reduction in hospitalization for pts on ivermectin vs placebo, and in fact pts on ivermectin progressed to needing invasive mechanical ventilation much sooner (5 vs 10 days)

I can do this all day Roaad...

Contradicting studies and trials only underscores the need for larger trials and studies.

Why are Egyptians manipulating data? What is their motive?

Writers Missed Ivermectin Study Retraction

We, the authors of “Why Is the FDA Attacking a Safe, Effective Drug?” (op-ed, July 29), have egg on our faces. Relying on a summary of studies published in the American Journal of Therapeutics, we quoted the results from a study of 200 healthcare workers. After our article was published, we learned that this study, by Ahmed Elgazzar of Benha University in Egypt, has recently been retracted due to serious charges of data manipulation.

There was a trial of 500 patients, randomized double blinded trial to see if it would prevent hospitalizations. it actually caused earlier invasive mechanical ventilation. it is limited in study, but its one of those trials that actually was randomized, blinded, and showed no benefit.

meta analysis are poor indicators of success (which is seemingly every other paper right now since people LOVE to just theorize and make publications).

But lets be honest --- if ivermectin worked, it'd be used worldwide where medicine is completely different (they don't get the fancy tocilizumab)
