Inaccurate claims about ivermectin being used to treat COVID-19 in Japan, a country where almost 80% of the population is fully vaccinated, have resurfaced online.

As previously debunked by Reuters on Nov. 1, 2021 ( here ), the drug is not approved by Japan’s medical regulator as a COVID-19 treatment.

Allegations the country has “revoked” or “dropped” a vaccine mandate are also misleading: Japan never imposed such a measure to begin with.

“Instead of being insane, Japan opted for Ivermectin and a return to freedom, and it’s paid off,” a Twitter user wrote, sharing an Our World in Data graph showing cumulative confirmed COVID-19 cases in the United Kingdom, France, and Japan. (here)

IVERMECTIN​

Ivermectin is an approved drug by the U.S. Federal Drug Administration for treating parasites in animals and humans ( here ). The agency has repeatedly warned against using it for COVID-19 ( here ), ( here ). Clinical trials ( here ) evaluating ivermectin as a viable treatment for COVID-19 are ongoing.

At the time of writing, the drug is not listed as approved to treat or prevent COVID-19 in Japan by the country’s medicines regulator, the Pharmaceuticals and Medicals Devices Agency (PMDA). A list of approved therapeutics and medical equipment to treat the virus ( here ) includes the Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna and AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccines as well as antivirals like Remdesivir and Molnupiravir. Ivermectin does not figure in the list.


Ivermectin is also not mentioned in the public guidance on COVID-19 from Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare ( here ), ( here ), ( here ).

Now cue the response where Reuters is part of the globalist conspiracy, and part of the liberal media.
