New Large Study: Ivermectin cuts deaths in Half
Used only as a preventative -- not even as treatment
I have always been unsure if Ivermectin is, or is not, helpful in treating Covid. I spent several days, over the course of many months, reading all I could find, but still could not make up my mind beyond reasonable doubt. So, I always sidestepped Ivermectin, unsure if I should put my voice behind something that I was not certain worked.
I always wondered, if Ivermectin was such a possibly helpful treatment, why aren’t our health authorities, who should be so concerned with keeping us healthy, undertake a reasonable sized trial to determine this? This was a puzzle to me for a long time.
Finally, two pieces of information made me fairly certain that Ivermectin works, and the campaign against is the most vile and anti-human endeavour of the government, the corporate press, and Bill and Melinda Gates foundation.
Here’s a new study: Ivermectin prophylaxis used for COVID-19 reduces COVID-19 infection and mortality rates: A 220,517-subject, populational-level retrospective citywide.
These researchers, based in Brasil, took a particular city of Itajai, and offered all residents a prophylactic treatments of a certain dose of Ivermectin given every 15 days. Some residents chose to use it and some declined.
Note that this is a prophylactic treatment, as opposed to treating an active case of Covid.
The result of this was that Covid mortality among those who chose to take Ivermectin, was basically cut in half. The clinical result has a very high confidence value of p=0.0001, meaning that, in simple language, the chance of this being a random occurrence is less than 0.0001.
These researchers tried to create comparison groups comparable by age, sex and such, thus preventing bias or confounding variables from confusing the result.
This means that Ivermectin does have a measurable health effect. Note that there was no Ivermectin treatment of the disease itself in this study, only preventative treatment. In other words, Ivermectin was not used to treat covid patients — it was given to everyone preventatively.
The Ivermectin story is extremely messy. There are powerful forces opposing it. Despite obvious promise, the United States did not conduct a single large trial of it. There is every logical reason that they should conduct a trial — but they did not, and said that vaccines are the solution. We know how that worked out.
A large UK trial called the PRINCIPLE TRIAL, was suspended due to — guess what — “lack of supply of Ivermectin”.
The ivermectin arm of the U.K.'s PRINCIPLE trial is "currently paused due to temporary supply issues," according to the trial's website.
So, I could buy Ivermectin easily in USA, anyone can buy it for $0.50 per pill in Mexico, but this trial has “supply issues”? Who are they kidding?
There is also a big scandal about Dr James Hill, who earlier posted favorite review of Ivermectin, only to retract it due to Bill Gates funded sponsors’ pressure. It is actually a messy scandal because at least one study was, indeed, fake — but most others were not.
Will Ivermectin work against Omicron?
Please share what YOU think if you know anything specific. In addition to being an antiviral protease inhibitor, Ivermectin supposedly has affinity to original Covid spikes, and possibly would be less effective against Omicron.
This study looks very good. Ivermectin as a prophylactic appears far superior to vaccination.
Even if the benefits of Ivermectin were unclear (I don't think they are at this point), the risks of this drug are so vanishingly small as to make it worth trying for anyone at high risk of covid. I feel the same way about other repurposed drugs with long track records of safety. Fear of prescribing Ivermectin off-label clearly doesn't come from physicians' safety concerns-- so what (or rather who) are they afraid of?
Hi Igor,
Just look at Uttah Pradesh in India.Go to google, then covid cases, then India,Uttah Pradesh.
Bingo.They implemented Ivermectin , which is an ionophore ( opens the cell) and has other modes of action, to allow Zinc to enter which inhibits viral replication. This is what Dr. Zelenco used with Hydroxychloroquine,same idea,think Zinc losenger.They treated everyone early with a package of Ivermectin,Vitimin D,C And Zinc ect. 227 million people and virtually no cases or deaths as of mid july 2021 .I just want to say a few things to everyone.
1 ,The PCR test is Useless.it is not a diagnoses of anything.A fear weapon.No science involved!
How many people died with Flu,or a Bronchitis infection that were thought to have a covid infection? Treated too late.The Flu and Bronchitis have not dissappeared.They were on holiday.Really!
2, Natural immunity is broad,robust and long lasting, unless you take a vaccine.
Has anyone here ever gone out after having a does of the flu ( which can be very nasty and deadly) and needed to get vaccinated every 3 months or less?
We have an "IMMUNE SYSTEM" Or at least most of us had.
3, The mass deployment of vaccines during a Pandemic will lead to primming the virus to mutate
and has caused ADE in the people who have been vaccinated.
4,Cheap, early, effective outpatient treatment is all that was ever needed,but that did not suit
the agenda of the few! This has never been about doing the right thing,in the right way,
for the right reason,The total censorship and lack of any debate,in any area from the start,
can only lead, a resonable person to conclude, that this has been by design!
