5% less effective against severe disease than standard of care.

Standard of care is nothing.

I see they only used ivermectin. No zinc, d3, pepcid, or anything else, just ivermectin alone.

JAMA

A 480 person study in Malaysia. With millions of Covid cases across the planet...this is what they go with.

The MSM is already aaallllll over this also.

What a joke.

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

If the results were positive, you'd be all over this study.

Now, this isn't the end of the ivermectin debate though.

The primary endpoint is a weird one for me. Progression to oxygen usage isn’t important to me, especially to get patient to 95%.

The primary endpoints should have been 1) mortality and 2) ICU admission. But there weren’t enough people in the study to get that sort of power.

It does seem clear that ivermectin isn’t a panacea. But it’s roughly as effective as the vaccine in preventing progression to severe disease for breakthrough cases.

Ivermectin works when used at onset of symptoms (early treatment) to reduce hospitalization and death.

Still no reason not to give it to someone. So, it doesn't work, look at all the things they tried that didnt work on patients that die from Covid.

The resistance to Ivermectin is all I need to know to believe it works.

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.

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.

The good news is since it doesn’t work and is a harmless drug maybe it could be made easier to prescribe.
