In other words, it's still possible ivermectin helps a bit, but it is very unlikely that it is a "miracle drug" that everyone should be taking at this point
TOGETHER is the largest, most well-conducted ivermectin study to date, and it was in low-risk outpatients Which means the two main arguments from the ivermectin proponents simply no longer make any sense at all
Also, people are talking about minor dosing differences (0.4mcg/kg vs 0.6mcg/kg) as if that's meaningful which is HILARIOUS because the dosage used in TOGETHER is higher than most of the studies showing massive mortality benefits
