When the first studies came out, the CDC's opinion was understandable as the evidence was, as they put it, low, but as time has passed a great more evidence is piling up and IF - and I agree it's still IF - but IF Ivermectin is doing what it did in a lab then it is a cheap and quick means of ending the pandemic. What's critical to understand is that this medicine which was so effective at killing stomach parasites was long known to have anti-viral properties as well, and early research in the lab showed it could inhibit SARS CoV-2 viral growth and then that research was followed up by a small study in humans and then numerous meta-analyses all of which were and are considered a low and weak amount of evidence. That was last year and early this year.


Today, we have literally millions of data points coming out of India and Africa in support of that early research as well as more than 1500 scientific papers on PubMed on Ivermectin for COVID, and medical officials in the U.S. refuse to even consider this new evidence as possibly correct. I, for one, am emailing my government representatives to say that we need an unbiased and independent review of this potential therapy because the benefits far outweigh the risks in this instance.

Additional facts:

1) African nations that hand out Ivermectin to everyone every year as a prophylactic treatment have 134/100k cases and 2/100k COVID deaths but African nations that do NOT handout Ivermectin have 950/100k cases and 29/100k COVID deaths.

2) Medical Officials in Japan are now recommending it as treatment based on the available data. Japanese Medical Officials Recommend Ivermectin

3) In India Uttar Pradesh hands out Ivermectin as prophylactic treatment to family members who do not have COVID but do have other family members with COVID. Kerala stopped giving out Ivermectin and instead is pushing vaccinces only.






Finally just compare India to Israel and Iceland. Obviously Israel and Iceland are not using Ivermectin but have two of the highest rates of vaccination in the world as compared to India with one of the lowest vaccination rates, but near universal use of Ivermectin prophylactically.

and India

You (They?) lost all credibility using African and Indian COVID numbers.
Using the radio show of a convicted felon as a source of reliable information really doesn’t work.

so those charts and graphs are all made up then?

India’s spike is 4 months long, while the other two have data for 2 months of a current spike. I’ll give it time.
Watching the parasites leave my body might kill more than covi.
England’s spike is over if you want to compare two competed delta spikes.

I'd say those numbers are reliable enough to get some big studies going, some smart people somewhere must put some faith in those numbers (and convicted felon's radio shows).

"Now that we politicized it and the science makes us look like morons, you shouldn't politicize it."

There, I've translated it for you.

Why are you racist?

Unfortunately, using third world countries as a barometer in analyzing Heath statistics isn’t very reliable. The same charts in Latin America, where ivermectin is used commonly (and was used for a time to treat COVID), paints a different picture.

In meta-analyses, the studies that came out of Brazil, Chile and others showed no affect of ivermectin on patient outcomes. Although, I didn’t see any on its use as a prophylaxis.

You can make all the assumptions you like but if your data is flawed then the conclusion is flawed.
Let’s just start with one of the more outrageous examples to get a point across:
President declares Tanzania COVID free after because of herbal tea and prayers.

There is no such thing as reliable data from any African country. That’s not racist.
They simply don’t have the health care system infrastructure to even remotely being able to take care of a population let alone during a global pandemic.
Using data that is so blatantly inaccurate is akin to falsification.

Lets say a random county has a population of 1.000.000 and you test 5000 people and 1000 test positive then what do you do?
Celebrate and say only 0.1% has COVID or extrapolate and state 20% of your population has likely been infected and you have a problem on your hands?
Some countries barely have any testing capability so how can you ever assume that data is an accurate representation?
