Thank you, for the compliment and the links. I haven't taken the time yet to look more into Ivermectin so I appreciate the info - and your analysis indicates there really is something worth investigating. The unfortunate issue with many of the anti-virals seems to be the dependency on timing for the effectiveness.
But no one pushes a drug that's not patentable, and our own health agencies can't be bothered to put together the necessary studies despite their billion dollar budgets. I keep telling people this is one of the big scandals around Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine - we should have lots of solid data by now, but the CDC/NIH/FDA simply doesn't do even basic research on public health apparently.
Thank you. I often tell people that the real scandal about drugs like Ivermectin is not whether they work on Covid, but instead is the fact that we still don't have reliable data on them.
Beautiful! Thank you for this most accurate assessment. And I love the little chart. It really lays out the issue with great clarity.
Thanks. I first thought "maybe this is a little too snarky" but then decided "it's the FDA, they deserve it."
This is a very nice article. Thank you!
There is a recent adversarial result on Ivermectin (ACTIV-6 study) showing some benefit. Alexandros Marinos wrote excellent pieces:

I also added my two cents: https://norstadt.substack.com/p/ivermectin-seems-to-have-benefits

I'm late to the party but you make an excellent case.

What was wrong with the Together trial? It seemed like their data was a mess despite being heralded as the ultimate big test for Ivermectin.
