In order to know if something works or not in the world of medicine you need a clinical double-blind placebo-controlled study with statistically significant sample size. One group gets the medicine (Ivermectin) the other group gets a placebo. None of the patients know who got what. You then use math to tell you if there is a statistically significant difference between the two groups. This is the gold standard in determining what works and what doesn't in medicine.
They've recently wrapped up a bunch of these studies on Ivermectin from all over the globe. They all say the same thing. Ivermectin shows no statistical difference in a positive medical outcome for COVID as compared to placebo. Do with that information what you will. Pharmaceutical companies fund the studies?

Was this method consistently used for the Covid vaccines?

I've personally seen many healthcare workers stay ill with the prescribed meds while covid positive. Once they take ivermectin they get better very quickly. Must be coincidence in EVERY one of them. i think not. yes, it works. no, big pharm/politicians wont accept it because there's no money to be pocketed off of it. money, power, and greed makes the World go round.

I have a friend who is organic. He won't even allow a microwave in his house cause he's convinced it will cause cancer. Well he took some back in October when he came down with the China Flu and hasn't been the same since. Really [censored] himself up. Was it the Flu or was it the Ivermectine? Don't know what to say other than I won't be taking it.

The studies I have seen say it does nothing useful. Anecdotal evidence is NOT the same as a scientific study. But then again since big pharma is cast as the evil overlord by so many people it should surprise no one even if they did a study the far right kooks would discount it. Kinda like the vaccine stories, e.g. nano tech activated by 5G cell towers, sterilization, tracking chips...and so on. Great entertainment and fun to spin up those who believe this type of stuff.

In my link, Ivermectin showed a 63% improvement compared to alternate treatments. It would have been higher compared to placibos. Which is STUPID BTW. Oh you're sick and may die....here's a sugar pill.

When I had Covid, my doc prescribed ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine early on. My Covid case consisted of a headache and a little cough. Went on with life and never was in bed with it. Just my experience.

Here is what I'm taking for covid, nothing, no shot, no ivermectin, no nothing, I have not gotten covid which is probably in large part due to me not being tested for covid. Oh, no mask either.

Here is what I'm taking for covid, nothing, no shot, no ivermectin, no nothing, I have not gotten covid which is probably in large part due to me not being tested for covid. Oh, no mask either. I've had covid 3 times. First two times I didn't even know it - only found out because of the Texas Cares antibody test. I had no antibodies the first time. The second test showed antibodies which indicated I had covid in between the tests. Third test showed greatly increased antibodies, indicating I had covid a second time. Never even knew I was sick. Third time was just a couple of weeks ago I came down with a cold. Out of curiosity I used one of the "free" tests from the government and it was positive. Had backed up sinuses and body aches for about three days and it was over. I did take ivermectin because I had it. Took lots of vitamins too. Did the ivermectin or vitamins help? Sure. If nothing else, they made me feel like I was doing something proactive. At the very least, I knew it wouldn't hurt anything. Bottom line - if you are a "high risk" individual then you need to try to avoid becoming sick. If you become sick, then it is probably a good idea to do anything possible to boost your immune system and make the virus pass faster. And a special note on "high risk" - what they really mean there is morbidly obese, type 2 diabetic, and smokers. Nobody wants to say that, but that's what they mean.
