Cure is a strong word but there's plenty of research which supports ivermectin being effective against COVID.

The medical commmunity will almost always be skeptical of new theories, sometimes this is well placed but sometimes it isn't.
That's neither here nor there though, the main takeaway is you probably shouldn't go to economists for medical advice.

- throwawaythekey 2y agoI'm mostly just trying to provide Thomas Borody the benefit of the doubt. I'm sure he would do a much better job of defending himself.
- nateglims 2y agoIf if you click through for meta analysis of most of the drugs listed, it claims a statistically significant reduction in mortality. That seems incredible.
- throwawaythekey 2y agoI'm not an expert but gut checking against this chart https://c19early.org/plot/bpall.png https://c19early.org/plot/bpall.png 1. The exercise, diet, sunlight, zinc, and vitamin d results all seem plausible. They are well known to improve your immune system. 2. Remdesivir was originally recommended for covid19 but then they stopped using it. I'm surprised the plasma has such a poor result because that was heavily hailed originally too. 3. Paxlovid and HCQ are both widely recommended, in line with the results presented. So as far as I can tell (which isn't far!) it seems like a reasonable analysis. The main point I wanted to make is Borody is far from alone in being interested in c19 and ivermectin.
