Bing translation:
"Kowa (Nagoya City) announced today that it has confirmed that the parasitic drug "Ivermectin" is effective as a treatment for the mutant "Omicron type" of the novel coronavirus. Based on the non-clinical trial with Kitasato University, it was said that it had an antiviral effect."
- raphlinus 5y agoIf you dig into that story, it's just a lab result that IVM shows antiviral activity against Omicron. It does not support your implied claim that Japan is actually using IVM. Here's a source on that I would consider neutral and responsible; when you do a search there are also a number of "fact check" results that pop up: https://www.medpagetoday.com/special-reports/exclusives/96981 https://www.medpagetoday.com/special-reports/exclusives/9698...
