Did you actually read this article? It shows that it's barely effective. It shows that its only 7% effective and that the mortality rate is lower.
Amantadine is very effective. My uncle, aunt, cousin, all their staff, and now my father in law, brother in law all took Amantadine in the last couple of weeks and went from super sick with fever and coughing like crazy to almost completely healthy in 1-3 days.
Funny how you mention the numeric value for the effectiveness of reducing the infection rate, but not the mortality rate. The concluded that mortality rate is reduced by 45%, which is significant. The hospitalization rates are also reduced by a similar amount.
1 is 50% of 2 It isnt the percentage its the numbers when its this small and short lived. As I said above, its not earth shattering but its also Brazil. Lets face it, you do this study where people have shoes and wash on a regular basis I am sure it will be much better.
7% effective in preventing the getting of it, which people that take the drug never claimed to do anyway.
I agree. Its not earth shattering.
Results: A total of 220,517 subjects were included in the analysis; 133,051 (60.3%) ivermectin users and 87,466 (39.7%) non-users. COVID-19 infection occurred in 4,311 (3.2%) treated subjects, and 3,034 (3.5%) non-treated subjects. This evidence showed a 7% reduction in COVID-19 infection rate with use of ivermectin: COVID-19 infection rate ratio (Risk ratio (RR) of 0.93; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.89 – 0.98; p = 0.003). A total of 62 deaths (1.4% mortality rate) occurred among users and 79 deaths (2.6% mortality rate) among non-users, showing a 48% reduction in mortality rate (RR, 0,52; 95%CI, 0.37 – 0.72; p = 0.0001). Risk of dying from COVID-19 among ivermectin users was 45% lower than non-users (RR, 0.55; 95%CI, 0.40 – 0.77; p = 0.0004).
Thanks. It looks like they under dosed, and by not including zinc in the study they’re only fighting half the battle. The Ivermectin docks at the same receptors as the spike and introduces the zinc into the cell which creates a ph imbalance that the corona doesn’t like as it prevents replication of the virus and spike. Further, vitamin D and other vitamins and minerals should be included to help regulate the immune system to help fight off a virus. Pretty simplified, but that is my understanding.
