I think it’s interesting how quick everyone is to use 3rd world parasites hypothesis to explain away promising ivermectin results. It’s a valid hypothesis for sure, but should be tested with as much rigor as you demand the hypothesis that ivermectin is helpful against covid is tested. On that front I think it is not totally plausible that parasites explain these discrepancies. Here is a large study in the United States https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1201971221009887 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S120197122... that found ivermectin to be effective against death.

Even the authors of that study disagree with your characterization of it - it’s a conference abstract about an association (not causal relationship) with a ton of confounders and couldn’t weigh things like vaccination status. > Moreover, both Efimenko and Nackeeran also told Reuters that other evidence available so far clearly refutes the benefits of ivermectin to treat COVID-19. https://www.google.com/amp/s/mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idUSL2N2VC2JZ https://www.google.com/amp/s/mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/...
