- smt88 5y agoI can't tell that to those patients because what you're describing is a fantasy created by anti-vaxxers to justify their position. Literally the most basic principle of medical research is that giving patients (even millions of them) a drug and watching them improve means absolutely nothing about the effectiveness of the drug. You can only learn if it works with large-scale, double-blind studies, and all of those show that ivermectin does nothing for Covid outcomes.

The Elgazzar study it also uses was withdrawn after findings of plagiarism and massive irregularities: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-02081-w https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-02081-w
