>> the creators of Ivermectin won the Nobel for its applications in treating parasites, not COVID-19.
I'm assuming it's safe if it won the Nobel price and has many years of usage backing it.
That's more than can be said for these Covid vaccines.
In Vitro is a good sign that it may also be effective in vivo and worth trying especially in a drug that has proved to be safe and efficacious in other diseases.
Molnupiravir does that have many years of usage?
I think you get my point. people don't trust corporations to look out for their best interests especially drug companies.. and therefore aren't going to try medicine based on the company's promise that it's safe.
- jasonlaramburu 5y ago>In Vitro is a good sign that it may also be effective in vivo My understanding is that the In Vitro study required massive dosages of Ivermectin to achieve the reported tissue concentration and antiviral effect. That's why clinical trails are so important to see if the effect is observed at a safe dosage. >people don't trust corporations to look out for their best interests especially drug companies I completely get that, but it seems equally dangerous to trust random people on the internet writing about ivermectin.

- jasonlaramburu 5y agoYes, at least the companies that run clinical trials are not the same companies making the drugs. They won’t get paid more if a drug is successful. Random influencers on the internet have a direct financial interest in getting people to do what they say.
