Basically, I'm at the same point with #ivermectin for #COVID19 now that I was with #hydroxychloroquine several months ago. It might have some modest effect, but the evidence is really questionable right now. Will ivermectin turn out better than HCQ? That remains to be seen.

In other words, even if
#ivermectin is ultimately validated in randomized trials as having some activity against#COVID19, right here, right now, it's being massively and irresponsibly portrayed as some sort of miracle cure, just as#hydroxychloroquine was in March and April.3 replies 2 retweets 12 likes -

its already validated MR Slow learner. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tq8SXOBy-4w&feature=youtu.be … By a Dr with integrity using many studies from many places. "if you take it you will not get sick" you got doubts? you are doubts. You play doubts for Corp Greedsters. Fade away Gorski.

YouTube videos are not clinical validation. Well designed peer reviewed randomized clinical trials are. I just searched PubMed and didn’t find any for

Even if it has some benefits would you as a doctor not want more trails done here in the us ? I think you are missing the point ... which is more investigation needs to be done

But instead its biggest proponents have already decided its a cure. Thats been the problem this entire time, the drugs get a trial in the court of public opinion, not in scientific trials. Doctors that use them use no controls and the only proof they have that it works is 1/2

There was a whole lot less faith in that drug than you might think. Researchers and Medical professionals at least the many that I follow didn’t think the data was all that great.

Yet it was approved, costs a bundle, and heavy on side effects And doesn’t seem to work There are different bars set for different therapies. Unfortunately ivm is being unfairly tarred by the HCQ fiasco

Whatever, its always a conspiracy. Other treatments that aren’t costly are being used as well Dex isn’t super costly.

Dexamethasone is actually dirt cheap.
