Popular Post placeholder Posted March 18, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 18, 2022 This is a peer-reviewed study appearing in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Effect of Ivermectin on Time to Resolution of Symptoms Among Adults With Mild COVID-19: A Randomized Clinical Trial. Conclusion and Relevance: Among adults with mild COVID-19, a 5-day course of ivermectin, compared with placebo, did not significantly improve the time to resolution of symptoms. 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. https://plus.mcmaster.ca/COVID-19/Article/Details/33662102 6 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post onthedarkside Posted March 18, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 18, 2022 A post citing a nearly year-old 2021 summary recycling some past research findings on ivermectin -- in which the journal where it was published has posted a public notice noting questions about the accuracy of data included in some of prior research reviewed -- has been removed. The most current and reputable research on the use of ivermectin as a potential treatment for COVID is the following RCT study reported last month: Ivermectin futile for mild to moderate COVID-19, study finds "Early treatment with the antiparasitic drug ivermectin does not lower the risk of severe disease when given to patients with mild to moderate COVID-19, according to a study today in JAMA Internal Medicine. ... Doctors at 20 Malaysian government hospitals and a COVID-19 quarantine center conducted an open-label, randomized clinical trial on the use of ivermectin in the first week of COVID-19 symptom onset in hospitalized adults 50 years and older with mild or moderate illness and underlying medical conditions. ... There were no significant differences between the two groups in time to symptom resolution or rates of mechanical ventilation, intensive care unit (ICU) admission, 28-day in-hospital death, or adverse events. ... "The study findings do not support the use of ivermectin for patients with COVID-19," the authors concluded. https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2022/02/ivermectin-futile-mild-moderate-covid-19-study-finds https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullarticle/2789362 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CartagenaWarlock Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 (edited) Ivermectin is very popular among seditionists in the USA. They will ask for anything that is not recommended by the medical professional.

Danderman123 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVENKEEL Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
