      Silly antivaxxer. The answer is simple. I'll get the #COVID19 vaccine as soon as it's made available to me at my hospital, but not before frontline healthcare workers who treat lots of #COVID19 patients (ER, ICU, etc.) get theirs. They are at higher risk than I am. https://twitter.com/DRMartinLLC/status/1336297200700317696 …

      He won't even mention Dr Borody who knows how effective ivermectin is. This kind of unwarranted smear campaign against real data makes no sense for someone claiming to be so epistemically sound...

      I'm happy to mention him. He's giving off very Vladimir Zelenko/#Hydroxychloroquine vibes to me.https://www.rnz.co.nz/national/programmes/mediawatch/audio/2018762446/unproven-covid-cure-gets-big-dose-of-coverage …

      I guess we should encourage those using triple therapy for peptic ulcers to discard his treatment then? Or his work on Crone's ? If there are discrepancies with the meta review please point them out.https://gutpathogens.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13099-020-00355-8 …

      Those treatments were validated with proper clinical trials. The same cannot be said for #Ivermectin yet, and his premature promotion of them is irresponsible.🙄

          I won't discount that point as of course clinical validation is best, if you didn't notice we are in a pandemic. The risk harm ratio as displayed in the meta data disagrees with your comment here. If there are better treatments currently available please elaborate

          You're making exactly the same argument #Hydroxychloroquine cultists made in March and April, you know. How did that work out? Maybe #Ivermectin will work out better, but HCQ showed the danger of bypassing RCTs even in a pandemic.

          Also, he's a gastroenterologist, not an infectious disease doc. Your appeal to authority is less compelling than you think. Just because he did good in one area does not mean he's right about #Ivermectin, and certainly his promotion of it as a "cure" is at best premature.

          Of course it's premature, this is a pandemic! Love to have a 3 yr 10k wide randomized dbl blind but the risk reward numbers put ivmn in a place that WARRENTS it's use for treatment IMMIEDATELY. 0.1!? CMON doc

          There are multiple RCTs from all over showing convincing even overwhelming efficacy. national governments in India and Egypt with over 300 million people endorse its use. And unlike HCQ there are no dangerous side effects. What exactly is the downside of using it? None!!!
