      Someone recently said that I'm treating the whole ivermectin a bit like an academic exercise To be honest, that's kind of true Every time I emotionally engage with the whole thing, I just end up yelling. A lot of rage

      So what do you think all these thousands of doctors seeing results with thousands upon thousands of patients are doing ? And if you notice the only ones that say it doesn't work have never tried it? And what about India and Uttar Pradesh? Something is missing isn't it ?

      I think that the stories of doctors for whom it has failed never get told, because they are uninteresting. As for India, the death toll, particularly in rural areas like UP, is enormous, so it's not exactly a win for ivm

      Actually it is.. look at their timelines and what cities deployed it and what didn't. But again what about the thousands of doctors around the world seeing results?https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/indias-ivermectin-blackout …

      That link appears to be incorrect on a great number of facts. Unfortunately, the death toll in India is demonstrably 5-10× higher than official numbers, and this is a big issue in UP and other low-income states. As I said, not much of a success story for ivm

          What's your source for the UP death toll undercount?

          428k deaths. 2x maybe, but 5-10x? you think they can hide 1.5M-4M bodies? really?

          It's not about hiding bodies, but about how covid tests are counted. If there are no tests and/or no medical examiners to verify deaths (which was/is the case for many places in India) then the deaths are often just categorised as unknown cause
