- threeseed 5y agoNot when we have extremely safe, highly effective vaccines. But in places where they aren't available it could be interesting especially if Omicron is the dominant variant and reducing transmission isn't of much use (which Ivermectin doesn't help with).
- ncmncm 5y agoPeople in those places should be treating their parasite infections anyway. We already knew they would be the healthier for it. But they aren't, because they can't afford it.
- JohnTHaller 5y agoNope. Worms are not endemic here, so Ivermectin has no impact on Covid-19 outcomes. It has a slight effect in this area of Brazil where worms are endemic.
