If you got the first dose of vaccine and then presented with COVID (that does happen), a short course of ivermectin immediately could likely do you some real good.
- jsnell 5y agoThat is totally irrelevant to the subject at hand: whether use of this drug would have prevented EUAs for vaccines. It clearly would not have, this is just a pure conspiracy theory.
- wrycoder 5y agoI am double vaccinated. I'm not proposing ivermectin as a substitute for vaccination. It's a palliative which may reduce serious consequences if an unvaccinated (or partially vaccinated) person presents with COVID. In that case, a vaccination would not act quickly enough to develop immunity. Even early use of Ivermectin would not have prevented the EUAs, because around 30% of those taking Ivermectin develop serious COVID, some progressing to death. The problem is the EUA argument preventing the use of Ivermectin, not the other way around.
- mgamache 5y agoYou are missing the point. We now have some idea of the effectiveness. No one wanted to hear anything about Ivermectin for most of the past year. The world economies have lost trillions and some large portion of the 3.8 million dead were needless. Pharma companies knew there was a potential for Ivermectin and worked to discredit it because it was a threat.
