Abstract
Background Ivermectin, an anti-parasitic agent, also has anti-viral properties. Our aim was to assess whether ivermectin can shorten the viral shedding in patients at an early-stage of COVID-19 infection.
Methods The double-blinded trial compared patients receiving ivermectin 0·2 mg/kg for 3 days vs. placebo in non-hospitalized COVID-19 patients. RT-PCR from a nasopharyngeal swab was obtained at recruitment and then every two days. Primary endpoint was reduction of viral-load on the 6th day (third day after termination of treatment) as reflected by Ct level>30 (non-infectious level). The primary outcome was supported by determination of viral culture viability.
Results Eighty-nine patients were eligible (47 in ivermectin and 42 in placebo arm). Their median age was 35 years. Females accounted for 21·6%, and 16·8% were asymptomatic at recruitment. Median time from symptom onset was 4 days. There were no statistical differences in these parameters between the two groups.
On day 6, 34 out of 47 (72%) patients in the ivermectin arm reached the endpoint, compared to 21/ 42 (50%) in the placebo arm (OR 2·62; 95% CI: 1·09-6·31). In a multivariable logistic-regression model, the odds of a negative test at day 6 was 2.62 time higher in the ivermectin group (95% CI: 1·06–6·45). Cultures at days 2 to 6 were positive in 3/23 (13·0%) of ivermectin samples vs. 14/29 (48·2%) in the placebo group (p=0·008).
Conclusions There were significantly lower viral loads and viable cultures in the ivermectin group, which could lead to shortening isolation time in these patients.

I don't think profit is an incentive anymore. It's only power.

Doctors Raise Awareness on Ivermectin Treatment for COVID-19
BY MEILING LEE July 24, 2021
In an effort to help end the pandemic, an international coalition of medical experts is holding worldwide events Saturday to raise awareness about the effectiveness of ivermectin as a treatment for COVID-19.

Double-blind study shows ivermectin reduces disease’s duration and infectiousness
Twenty countries are using Ivermectin to treat Covid-19. They include Mexico, Guatemala, Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Portugal, Nigeria, and Egypt. In South Africa doctors are allowed to prescribe Ivermectin, but it is not being rolled out everywhere and in hospitals and clinics.
According to Jackie Stone, a doctor in Zimbabwe, since January – when Ivermectin began to be used – it has cut COVID hospital admissions and deaths over 70%.
“The death rate rose sharply in January and peaked on the 25th at 70 deaths per day. Official authorisation for the use of Ivermectin was granted on 26th January. Just one month later, on 26th February, the COVID death rate had fallen to zero”.
When co-morbidities are removed from the study ...
DURHAM, N.C. -- A new study led by the Duke Clinical Research Institute is looking at whether three existing medications would treat mild-to-moderate COVID-19 effectively. (More information on the study is available here.)
The three repurposed medications, already approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for other uses, are:
Ivermectin, used to treat parasitic infections;
Fluticasone, an inhaled steroid commonly prescribed for asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; and
Fluvoxamine, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), often prescribed for depression.
On Tuesday, institute executive director Adrian Hernandez discussed the study with reporters in a virtual media briefing, where he touched on the need for COVID-19 therapies and making it easy for people across the country to take part in the study.

Here are excerpts:
TREATING MILD-TO-MODERATE COVID-19
A study led by the Duke Clinical Research Institute has expanded its testing platform to evaluate three repurposed medications in the search for effective, safe treatments for mild-to-moderate COVID-19. Repurposed medications are those already approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for other indications.

On the importance of testing COVID therapies
“We are in another surge here and it’s important to get answers for people who have mild to moderate COVID-19. What has been set up is a platform that will allow people anywhere across the country to join together to get those answers.”
“As we see COVID-19 surge, how can we actually address those issues by understanding what drugs work the best way and the easiest way for people to take at home if they, unfortunately, get COVID-19. We’ll be able to evaluate a number of different drugs that have a proven safety track record.”
On why the clinical trial matters now
“We are all interested in making sure we protect and prevent people from getting COVID-19 through vaccination and other efforts, but there are going to be cases when people get COVID-19 either through breakthrough cases or because someone hasn’t been vaccinated.”
“We have new variants that have developed over the last several months and we need to understand what are the best treatments that will make people feel better, faster, and also prevent them from going to the hospital or having any other poor outcomes.”

Why are we expecting effective and appropriate trials when we have read the Pfizer contracts? No treatment can be found.
His primary care doctor and his urgent care doctor both refused to prescribe Ivermectin. Once I found a doctor who would prescribe it, we had to get PERMISSION from the pharmacists to fill it. Then, this decades-old generic drug cost $120 (prices have gone up since then), when a comparable dose for my horses would cost less than $10. Here is the story.

Antibodies are pretty safe as far as I know. For example that's what lots of cancer drugs are: antibodies matched with the cancer to guide the immune system to go in for the kill.
As opposed to chemotherapy which is basically just poison that one hopes kills the weaker cancer cells more than the normal cells.
Nope, totally different thing. Read up on humanized monoclonal antibodies if you're interested in the tech. It's not mRNA, spike protein or any of that crap.
They gave this to Trump when he had the coof.
It's expensive as all hell.

And HCQ falls into that same bucket. Even worse - to admit HCQ works would be to admit Trump was right about something.
Liberals would rather that millions die than that Trump be allowed to be right about anything. They hate Trump more than they love their fellow humans.
