From an interview I listened to of Pulmonologist at a small well respected private hospital in Johannesburg:
He would use anything that worked to save lives but Ivermectin just doesn't work. On one day he personally admitted 22 people to the hospital with Covid and 14 of those had been taking Ivermectin. 10 of them ended up in ICU and some of them had passed away a few days later when the interview was held.
Part of the problem seems to be that it masks a lot of the early symptoms of covid so the patients don't get prescribed things like corticosteroids that do help until much later than normal.
- tomByrer 5y agoThat's interesting; I'll have to keep in mind! 14 admitted out of population size of how many IVM users please? (Consider those who get the shots also get C19, though at a much lower rate vs not having C19 before nor shots; I'd like to compare the 2 rates.) Is 'masking' ~= slowing down disease & symptoms? BTW, the MD who testified before US Congress to research about IVM more (Dr Pierre Kory) also testified a few months prior to use corticosteroids for C19. They reccomend both & many other things (like Zinc, VitD) as part of their protocol. https://covid19criticalcare.com/ivermectin-in-covid-19/ https://covid19criticalcare.com/ivermectin-in-covid-19/
- gus_massa 5y ago> 14 admitted out of population size of how many IVM users please? Completely agree. That's the correct question. Is the number higher or lower than the people that is not taking IVM, proportionally? The problem is that to have the correct answer you must do a randomized controlled trial (double blind to avoid other differences in the treatment and bias) (large to avoid flukes).
