Findings In this double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled platform trial including 1206 US adults with COVID-19 during February 2022 to July 2022, the median time to sustained recovery was 11 days in the ivermectin group and 11 days in the placebo group. In this largely vaccinated (84%) population, the posterior probability that ivermectin reduced symptom duration by more than 1 day was less than 0.1%.

I’d like to see the legitimate scientific evidence supporting this claim.

The CDC, FDA and WHO have irrevocably destroyed their credibility, joining the AMA and the APA.

When it comes to medical treatment, it really is a caveat emptor jungle out there. I always do a social media search on prospective health care providers. You'd be surprised how many doctors and nurses spew insane vitriol in public.

And, of course there is always a chance you'll catch them showing off their dancing skills in the ER.

Studies has shown that Ivermectin designed for roundworm infections in humans and for horses and has no antiviral properties. To provide facts about medications and their appropriateness for which infections or other conditions based on peer reviewed research must be allowed and is part of the function of our drug regulatory agencies. To not warn about the inappropriately of Ivermectin for any viral infection since it lacks antiviral protection is a danger to the public. I’ve observed many physicians not well versed in infectious disease nor microbiology try to play an infectious disease specialist and in other specialties. These physicians are actually a danger to the public, but the sort of ruling handed down by judges without any medical, scientific, or statistical training is taking this country further down the anti science tract undermining scientific research and knowledge. This is a grave injustice to public safety.

I did read the article however I question non adherence to proven treatment protocols vs politically motivated dogma. What are the outcomes to patients who used only veterinary protocols on humans without vetted results in humans? We have a national health system that had among the lowest success rates in COVID treatment compared to other countries with similar healthcare access.

How absurd that the FDA is constrained from warning against the inappropriate use of a drug effective against roundworm infestations inappropriately for a viral infection. This is ignorant political encroachment on an area, Clinical Medicine, where politics can only do damage.

The ruling simply upholds the fact that the FDA is not authorized under law to give medical advice or treatment. It does nothing to discredit the substantial medical research that indicates ivermectin is ineffective in treating COVID. But whatever ya’ll.

It's not a Horse medicine. It was developed for humans, and it also happens to be used in animals. Just like lots of other veterinary medicine that was developed first for humans.

So what, if all those types that take it need deworming, let ‘em have it. Frankly, I think they should have been using leeches; a better opportunity for a possible infection by “flesh eating” bacteria.

Good. Here’s the problem though. They should’ve never done that in the first place! They cost more than 73,000,000 AROUND THE WORLD their lives. Not funny at all.

Read the article. The issue basically was - did the FDA overstep their authority -the answer is, yes, they did. Therefore, their posts need to be removed.
