Somehow society managed to take an entirely new, experimental medical technology, run trials and launch it to the world population in < 12 months yet it's been nearly 24 months now and there are zero - zero - large scale useful studies of ivermectin produced by the western medical establishment.
As I was reading the article, this is really what leaped out at me. There are lots of people and doctors who think ivermectin works. It's clearly a question worth investigating. Why are all the studies based on 50 people in Bangladesh?
That, in turn, is very strongly connected to the cost of running drug trials that will get past the FDA and patent rights. So it's not surprising that people end up being very cynical about this.
- s1artibartfast 5y agoThere is currently a 15,000 patient study funded by the NIH which includes the evaluation of ivermectin. https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04885530 https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04885530 IT is slower than most would like, but it is one of many in a long list of publicly funded studies. https://www.nih.gov/research-training/medical-research-initiatives/activ/covid-19-therapeutics-prioritized-testing-clinical-trials https://www.nih.gov/research-training/medical-research-initi...
