Ivermectin Didn’t Reduce Covid-19 Hospitalizations in Largest Trial to Date

Patients who got the antiparasitic drug didn’t fare better than those who received a placebo

Researchers testing repurposed drugs against Covid-19 found that ivermectin didn’t reduce hospital admissions, in the largest trial yet of the effect of the antiparasitic on the disease driving the pandemic.

AND

 

“There was no indication that ivermectin is clinically useful,” said Edward Mills, a lead investigator of the trial and a professor of health sciences at Canada’s McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario.

...

The latest trial conducted in Brazil involved 1,358 adults with COVID-19 symptoms.... Half of them received Ivermectin pills for three days, and the other half received a placebo.

...

For accuracy, they analyzed data in three different ways, and in each scenario, ivermectin was found to have no impact on the improvement of patient outcomes."

Yeah. You are quoting the exact same study as the O.P.

Has the Thai government ever approved or recommended the use of ivermectin for the treatment of Covid-19? If not, why do we discuss its uselessness here? Is it to bait the conspiration theorists and the spreaders of false information?

No, it is to inform people who may be misled by postings of false information that ivermectin is efficacious in treating Covid of the actual truth that it isn't, and citing the evidence on which this is based.

With the Russian bot farms diverted to messaging about Ukraine, there isn’t any further propaganda about Ivermectin so nobody much cares about it.

 

The Russians did their job in convincing millions of people to not get vaccinated and instead take horse medicine. This sort of boomeranged on them due to so many Trump supporters dying from Covid.

 

At any rate, I doubt many Thais fell for the Ivermectin scam, maybe just a handful of Farangs.

Design, Setting, and Participants: Double-blind, randomized trial conducted at a single site in Cali, Colombia.

 

 The findings do not support the use of ivermectin for treatment of mild COVID-19, although larger trials may be needed to understand the effects of ivermectin on other clinically relevant outcomes.

 

Let's just say for argument sake the findings had been positive, the opponents to Ivermectin would have laughed it off as a fake study done in a Third world country and it never would have been posted or even allowed to be posted.

Just another one to add to the list yet we still have some swearing allegiance to it.
