Ivermectin Doesn’t Help Treat COVID-19, Large Study Finds
By Carolyn Crist



March 31, 2022 -- Ivermectin, an anti-parasitic drug that became popular as an alternative treatment for COVID-19, showed no signs of quelling the disease or reducing patients’ risk of hospitalization, according to results from a large clinical trial published in The New England Journal of Medicine.

The findings pretty much rule out the drug as a treatment for COVID-19, the study authors wrote.

“There’s really no sign of any benefit,” David Boulware, MD, one of the co-authors and an infectious disease specialist at the University of Minnesota, told The New York Times.

The researchers shared a summary of the results in August 2021 during an online presentation hosted by the National Institutes of Health. The full data hadn’t been published until now.

“Now that people can dive into the details and the data, hopefully that will steer the majority of doctors away from ivermectin towards other therapies,” Boulware said.

In the trial, the research team compared more than 1,350 people infected with the coronavirus in Brazil who received either ivermectin or a placebo as treatment.

Between March and August 2021, 679 patients received a daily dose of ivermectin over the course of 3 days. The researchers found that ivermectin didn’t reduce the risk that people with COVID-19 would be hospitalized or go to an emergency room within 28 days after treatment.

In addition, the researchers looked at particular groups to understand if some patients benefited for some reason, such as taking ivermectin sooner after testing positive for COVID-19. But those who took the drug during the first 3 days after a positive coronavirus test ended up doing worse than those in the placebo group. The drug also didn’t help patients recover sooner.

The researchers found “no important effects” of treatment with ivermectin on the number of days people spent in the hospital, the number of days hospitalized people needed mechanical ventilation, or the risk of death, they wrote.

Ivermectin has become a controversial focal point during the pandemic.

For decades, the drug has been widely used to treat parasitic infections. At the beginning of the pandemic, researchers checked thousands of existing drugs against the coronavirus to determine if a potential treatment already existed. Laboratory experiments on cells suggested that ivermectin might work, the Times reported.

But some researchers noted that the experiments worked because a high concentration of ivermectin was used, a much higher dose than would be safe for people. Despite the concerns, some doctors began prescribing ivermectin to patients. After receiving reports of people who needed medical attention, particularly after using formulations intended for livestock, the FDA issued a warning that the drug wasn’t approved to be used for COVID-19.

Researchers around the world have done small clinical trials to understand whether ivermectin treats COVID-19, the newspaper reported. At the end of 2020, Andrew Hill, MD, a virologist at the University of Liverpool in England, reviewed the results from 23 trials and concluded that the drug could lower the risk of death from COVID-19. He published the results in July 2021, but later reports found that many of the studies were flawed, and at least one was fraudulent.

Hill retracted his original study and began another analysis, which was published in January 2022. In this review, he and colleagues focused on studies that were least likely to be biased. They found that ivermectin was not helpful.

Recently, Hill and his colleagues ran another analysis using the new data from the Brazil trial, and once again they saw no benefit.

Several clinical trials are still testing ivermectin as a treatment, the Times reported, with results expected in upcoming months. After reviewing the data from the Brazil trial, which tested ivermectin and a variety of other drugs against COVID-19, some infectious disease experts say they’ll likely see more of the same -- that ivermectin doesn’t help people with COVID-19.

“I welcome the results of the other clinical trials and will view them with an open mind,” Paul Sax, MD, an infectious disease expert at Brigham and Women’s Hospital who has been watching the data on the drug throughout the pandemic, told the newspaper.

“But at some point, it will become a waste of resources to continue studying an unpromising approach,” he said.

So, say anon.
Did you check to see if the UK government released a report confirming that the fully vaccinated now account for 92.4% of all Covid-19 deaths in England?

Cause attacking the messenger isn't very helpful, is it?
UK Summary | Coronavirus (COVID-19) in the UK (data.gov.uk)

 

Exactly where did it give this 92.4% statistic? There is no data on this page that supports the statement "the fully vaccinated now account for 92.4% of all Covid-19 deaths in England".

 

New Study Reveals Florida And GOP-Led States Dominate COVID-19 Best Responses; Democrat-Led States Rank Among Worst

The response to the COVID pandemic varied vastly from state to state. A new report ranking those responses found that Republican-led states performed substantially better and, according to The Daily Wire, “Democrat-led states dominating the bottom of the list.”

The report vindicates Republicans—particularly Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida, whom the Biden administration has harshly criticized.

The Committee To Unleash Prosperity (CUP) coordinated the comprehensive report. The National Bureau of Economic Research published their findings.

Statements provided to The Daily Wire noted the focus and scope of the research:

“The Report Card on the States measures and compares state performance on three metrics: the economy, education, and mortality from the virus.

“It answers the question: how did states do in balancing the health of their citizens, allowing their economies to remain operational and keeping job losses low, and keeping their schools open so that school-aged children did not suffer long term educational setbacks.”

“Each of these three metrics were equally weighted. The states that received an F grade were New Jersey, New York, California, Illinois and Washington, D.C.”

“These states performed poorly on every measure. They had high age-adjusted death rates; they had high unemployment and significant GDP losses, and they kept their schools shutdown much longer than almost all other states,” it added. “The top performers were Utah, Nebraska, and Vermont with Montana and Florida right behind.”

“A total of 18 states received a grade of A or B. Of the top-ranking 18 states, 16 are led by Republican governors. No Democrat-led states appeared in the top five.”

The “biggest mistake,” the study noted, was the long-term closures of businesses and schools.

CUP Co-Founder Stephen Moore stated: “Shutting down their economies and schools was by far the biggest mistake governors and state officials made during Covid, particularly in blue states,” said “We hope the results of this study will persuade governors not to close schools and businesses the next time we have a new virus variant.”

The study also found that despite Florida’s older population and lose restrictions, the death rate was statistically the same as that of California, which implemented ridged restrictions even among its younger population.

The study also found that lockdowns were counterproductive and that for each percentage point increase in the unemployment rate, there were 920 more suicides and 650 more homicides. Lockdowns were also found to contribute to increased mental health problems, domestic violence, and homelessness.

 

Uh oh. Aces, you managed to trigger anon, and we just got him down for his nap.
Shit. Now he probably won't go back to sleep and we'll have to chase him all over the forums for the rest of the day.

 

Turns out, OAN was wrong! Ivermectin doesn't work on covid!

 

Well, as it seems, neither does the vaccine.

 

the most populated state in India has declared they are officially COVID-free after promoting widespread use of the safe, proven medicine....ivermectin

 

Mask mandate dropped here but there's still some people at work who wear them.

Break time, same people smoking cigarettes!

 

So we see the mask mandate for air travel has been extended, again, now to May.
Why?

 

Mask mandates for everything else went away a couple months ago.

So now, everyone goes to the airport maskless.
Puts on a mask.
Gets on the plane and flies.
Leaves the airport.
Takes off the mask.
Gets on with business.

Why?
