How/why exactly would a medicine for parasites help COVID-19 symptoms? Mechanically how could this medicine intervene physiologically?

I'm agnostic here. Hard science indicates that it doesn't work so far. Plenty of anecdotes that it helps. I simply don't understand it enough.

Sorry for another thread, but the other one is getting hard to read and to have my question answered there. TIA.

Ivermectin is a miracle drug that works for several different diseases. It also has in vitro (test tube) antiviral properties against something like twenty viruses.

Unfortunately none of these in vitro antiviral effects have ever translated into clinical results. If the larger studies currently ongoing give some kind of definitive answer to the negative, this would make it something like 0/20 as a clinical antiviral.

Thanks, didn't know it has anti-viral properties.

I would like to know more about this as well. Are there any doctors on this board prescribing it to their patients and brave enough to admit it?

just about everything you need to know here about ivermectin.

The current theory is that it somehow binds up the spike protein and renders it less cytotoxic. There havent been enough studies into the biological mechanism on how it works. Several doctors began prescribing it after it was successful in a lab trial with a cell culture. This is typically a low bar but doctors began prescribing it because it has relatively no side effects. May dove have witnessed great results and are pushing it for that reason.

I know who you're referring to but show me where she's affiliated with the FLCCC Alliance?

It's two separate and distinct organizations. This is the one with the witch lady

https://americasfrontlinedoctors.org/

Very similar names which is how I got confused, so far I haven't been able to see a link but I also haven't compared the members of each group so who knows

Here's an about-as-frontline-as-you-can-get doctor talking about Ivermectin and censorship. He's got all the credentials in the world. This is not some fringe guy.

That study was authored by Dr. Kory, the expert I speak of. Guy with the glasses on the left in the YouTube video.

Conclusion:
Meta-analyses based on 18 randomized controlled treatment trials of ivermectin in COVID-19 have found large, statistically significant reductions in mortality, time to clinical recovery, and time to viral clearance. Furthermore, results from numerous controlled prophylaxis trials report significantly reduced risks of contracting COVID-19 with the regular use of ivermectin. Finally, the many examples of ivermectin distribution campaigns leading to rapid population-wide decreases in morbidity and mortality indicate that an oral agent effective in all phases of COVID-19 has been identified.

PS- Hope you never sit on a jury. We award billions in damages in this country, as well as decide who goes to prison for life and who dies, based on expert testimony.

The editors of Frontiers in Pharmacology have taken down an article about the use of the antiparasitic drug ivermectin in COVID-19 patients. The paper, which was written by members of an organization called the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC), had been provisionally accepted and posted in abstract form by the journal in January, but was ultimately rejected this Monday (March 1). The editors determined that it contained unsubstantiated claims and violated the journal's editorial policies.

By the end of last week, the abstract had been viewed more than 85,000 times, according to snapshots available on the internet archive.

After being contacted by The Scientist, the journal posted a statement from Frontiers's chief executive editor, Frederick Fenter, saying that "Frontiers takes no position on the efficacy of ivermectin as a treatment of patients with COVID-19, however, we do take a very firm stance against unbalanced or unsupported scientific conclusions."

During review of the article in what the journal refers to as "the provisional acceptance phase," Fenter says in the statement, members of Frontiers's research integrity team identified "a series of strong, unsupported claims based on studies with insufficient statistical significance, and at times, without the use of control groups."

Expert testimony means next to nothing. There are experts on every side of every issue. Actual data, from trials, is all that matters.

There is no clinical trial that says this drug works for covid. It's like 0 for 20 so far.
