Serious question: are you prepared to go to war in the House of Politics & Off Topics?Ivermectin worthless against COVID in largest clinical trial to date

Don't shoot me!!! I'm only the messenger.Serious question: are you prepared to go to war in the House of Politics & Off Topics?
Who knows. What's a valid source anymore? I didn't take the medicine so I don't know but what I do recall is that it was when the Delta variant was coming through around here that I heard it worked and it was also the Delta variant in India that I read it worked on. If it was tested on a different variant it may not have been effective but maybe it was against Delta. I honestly believe absolutely nothing I'm told about Covid anymore because there have been too many lies and too many people using the virus to their personal gain to believe anyone about anything related to Covid. Thanks American media and medical establishment.Serious question. Is that a valid source?
Agreed. I have a friend who is a long hauler and claims ivermectin is a godsendWho knows. What's a valid source anymore?

How is it a Godsend if he has long Covid?Agreed. I have a friend who is a long hauler and claims ivermectin is a godsend
bc he's alive maybe?How is it a Godsend if he has long Covid?
Shocking. One of the weirder things from this pandemic has been the way some people have latched onto potential treatments almost because they’ve shown to have questionable effectiveness.Ivermectin worthless against COVID in largest clinical trial to date

Agreed. Like how they latched on to the vaccine even though it has been shown to have questionable effectiveness.Shocking. One the weirder things from this pandemic has been the way some people have latched onto potential treatments almost because they’ve shown to have questionable effectiveness.
I didn't scrutinize the article. I saw it and posted it. BTW, why is it fake news??? Did you actually take it and miraculously survive???OP could have helped his fake news cause by just citing the actual study in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Ivermectin not a valid medicine to fight Covid-19
I didn’t say it was fake news. I said you would have avoided the fake news comments if you linked the actual study instead of some random website. Just send the reputable source and avoid the dumb comments.I didn't scrutinize the article. I saw it and posted it. BTW, why is it fake news??? Did you actually take it and miraculously survive???
Pretty perfect response illustrating the attitude I was talking about. It’s like the more evidence there is, the less people like you will believe it.Agreed. Like how they latched on to the vaccine even though it has been shown to have questionable effectiveness.
Arstechnica is very reputableI didn’t say it was fake news. I said you would have avoided the fake news comments if you linked the actual study instead of some random website. Just send the reputable source and avoid the dumb comments.
The source is the New England journal of medicine which is probably the most reputable medical journal in the USSerious question. Is that a valid source?

A friend of mine’s mom works at a feed store in rural eastern Washington. They sold out of all their ivermectin, so then people just started buying random livestock medications just to see if they’d work. So many people did this that they actually started selling out of those medications too. So bizarre.Shocking. One the weirder things from this pandemic has been the way some people have latched onto potential treatments almost because they’ve shown to have questionable effectiveness.
When symptoms arise, it helps according to him. Dude has been struggling off and on for 18 months. Feel for him.How is it a Godsend if he has long Covid?
I’ve heard similar stories. Is there a big downside to trying Invermectin/Hydroxychloroquine?I have a good friend of 30 years who has suffered from MS for the past 20 years. She has a much lower immune system and so has been extremely careful during the pandemic. She has had all the shots, booster shot, wears mask and gloves, worked from home, etc. She still got a bad case of Covid in January and showed no improvement after two weeks, including a fever nonstop the whole. A Doctor friend of hers who lives across the country, prescribed Ivermectin and saw immediate results after one day. After 3 days all symptoms, fever, etc. were gone.
I’m not saying this would work for everyone, but it worked for her. They biggest thing is take charge with whatever medical problems you have. You alone knows how you feel.
Thanks.The source is the New England journal of medicine which is probably the most reputable medical journal in the US
Not that it matters because if it does not fits their political believes people will not consoder it valid.
What a world we live in
When I hear about a med for treatment I always ask the cost. If it is cheap then I usually conclude that it won't be promoted that much for obvious reasons. I HATE all meds. It baffles me when people are 100% in lock step with Big Pharma when their profits are dependent upon illnesses not being totally curedIvermectin was shown to have 'worked' in a test tube bc it just killed all the cells, including the virus.
This research is pretty definitive. No benefit.
But there is also an entire giant literature on the placebo effect which is why people still claim that it works for them (or for their friend). But keep popping those hydroxy pills that dumb governors bought for millions of taxpayer dollars.
The ridiculous thing is that now there is a pill, an antiviral called Paxlovid, you can take soon after you get covid that does work--don't even need the expensive IVs with Remdesivir but nobody has any clue about it...sigh...
His reply was a little confusing. What he meant to say was that you could’ve avoided dumb replies by referring directly to the study. I’m not sure that’s right, because of the really bizarre politicization of certain treatments.I didn't make any dumb comments.
Well, then I guess we can scrap science-based medicine? People do respond differently to medicine, which is why doctors need to prescribe medicine and supervise patients after taking medicine. But people don’t respond so differently that studies on drugs are useless.I also think we all react differently to meds. What works for some may not work for others. None of us are built from a cookie cutter
Repeat after me. Anecdotal. Evidence. Does. Not. Supersede. Double. Blind. Real. Science. Studies.I have a good friend of 30 years who has suffered from MS for the past 20 years.

BOOM!Agreed. Like how they latched on to the vaccine even though it has been shown to have questionable effectiveness.
