An Israeli study from January shows ivermectin effective for treating COVID, so why is it not used as infections soar?
Opposition to using the drug exists worldwide, not just in Israel where COVID vaccines are order of the day to defeat the pandemicwww.allisrael.com
It is very simple.
Ivermectin is an effective drug against parasites because it essentially numbs their nervous system.
Covid works by stimulating the ACE2 receptors in our cells, and ivermectin reduces that by numbing the ACE2 receptors.
“Meta-analysis of 15 trials found that ivermectin reduced risk of death compared with no ivermectin (average risk ratio 0.38, 95% confidence interval 0.19–0.73; n = 2438; I2 = 49%; moderate-certainty evidence).”

Ivermectin for Prevention and Treatment of COVID-19 Infection: A Systematic Review, Meta-analysis, and Trial Sequential Analysis to Inform Clinical Guidelines
Repurposed medicines may have a role against the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The antiparasitic ivermectin, with antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties, has now been tested in numerous clinical trials.We assessed the efficacy of ivermectin treatment in reducing ...

There is an enormous difference between taking care of personal health early on versus using ivermectin after hospitalization with “required” intubation (which is a whole other topic where you’re pretty much on your own regardless of what you try or don’t try). No way would I be placed on a ventilator with severe Covid-19. Many have refused as well and have lived to tell their nightmarish stories.
A couple of posters continue to grasp at straws, pulling up small sized studies, like 40 total patients with 16 of them in the control group- good grief. My fifth graders would laugh at that kind of posturing. Intentionally lying or completely illiterate about the meta studies iow. Of course, it’s much worse to intentionally lie about health information.
Truth will win in the end, but it’s requiring great efforts of consistency by many who support truth over false propoganda.
