Remdesivir has limited uses - it's not a cure-all.
You are lying or stupid. probably both.
It has negative effects not positive effects. Unless you are saying murder is one of its limited uses.

I wonder if those of you critical of this study could direct us to a quality study that indicates low or no efficacy?
Does one exist?
And if not, why not?

Fraud happens at all levels.
I don’t like the study design changing and I don’t like the fact that so few of the treatment group completed their treatment.
That was my earlier point. There is no such thing as reliable scientific sources for this very reason. The source really does nothing to legitimize the research. This study maybe complete shite, but to definitively say its more shite than studies that confirm BamaATL's biases is presumptuous AF.
But I'm a numbers guy, so to illustrate that point, I've highlighted the massive discrepancy in potential financial incentives for those pushing generics versus those pushing patented drugs (since this was Bama's argument). I also highlight the fact that there have already been anti-HCQ scientific hack pieces exposed in esteemed journals like Lancet, so we cant pretend like that cant happen.

Most likely it's a paid piece for the manufacturer of ivermectin
Yea its a conspiracy! The manufacturer is big pharmaceutical company Merck, which has said that IVM isn't an effective treatment but dont worry Merck is working on a designer version for only 1,000 times the cost!

he showed his ignorance with that one. Ivm has been a widely manufactured generic for decades. It would be very difficult to ensure a profit windfall without 100 or so global firms colluding, but who really knows anymore.

TBOY change your name to lowTBOY.
Yes to get a preventative effect you have to take it BEFORE exposure. duh.
But it can be taken before you are likely to be exposed or when you immune system is lower (winter). AND ivermectin works to slow the virus replication. So you can take it once you become sick. So it isn't an either or situation.

It really doesn't matter. They will never be convinced ivermectin works.
With that said I do believe they believe as the evidence shows that it is a harmless drug with zero side effects when properly prescribed.
I wish they would take their logical science minds to the next step. A harmless drug that does not work (in their minds), why am I fighting so hard against this? It's like fighting against sugar pills. Let them take it if it makes them feel better.
But this is not the case. There is an entire government and medical established anti-early treatment brigade against ivermectin.
It's an illogical response to a drug that doesn't work (in there minds). The anti-early treatment brigade is twisted in knots.

Agreed.

The official date that the anti-early treatment brigade began in earnest was March 19, 2020. That's when President Trump mentioned the three letters HCQ.

Don't depend only on "accredited" peers to review. They recognize valid critique regardless of the source.

Don't pick and choose studies to publish. The peer review process is supposed to skim the cream from the top.

No they aren't. My wife has a pharmacy. Shitheaded pharmacists trying to play doctor need to have this shoved up their arse. We've had zero issues at any time, but we're in Arkansas and we don't put up with that shite.

More bullshite. Wholesalers have jacked up the price of ivermectin. 5000%? You're either purposely spreading false info or you're a fricking moron.
