While ivermectin showed significant benefits in symptom alleviation and sustained symptom relief, it did not significantly affect other key clinical outcomes such as mortality, mechanical ventilation requirement, or hospitalization rates.
I’m curious about that part as well. It’s possible that they reported feeling better in studies where alleviation or relief were included while the other mentioned outcomes stayed the same as the control arm. Ivermectin has a strong bitter taste which may have tipped off the experiment group and influenced those subjective measurements but deaths, ventilator requirements, and hospitalization rates are objective results. Don’t know if that’s why but it makes sense to me.
From time to time I take a look at Trump’s truth social account to get some insanity updates and for a few weeks now it’s filled to the brim with ivermectin ads like “Fouci took the fifth, better get some of our ivermectin pills”.
Will there be enough room there for that and the bleach and UV lights?
No, you idiot. The UV lights go in your ass. DUHH!
Scoop out a little of the horse dewormer paste to make room, you can pack it back in later.

Doctor who advocated Covid-19 therapy including ivermectin applied for patent on same unproven treatment. Nice to see that he’ll disclose it when absolutely required but omitting it elsewhere is kinda scummy.
The impact of ivermectin on COVID-19 outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis. (7 Jan 2025)
I’m quite surprised that it had any impact on symptoms at all. I wonder how legit the meta review is?
