A recent Nature article suggests that not only were the results unreproducible as part of a number of replication studies, the dose of the horse worming drug Ivermectin was so so high that if you administered it to the general public you would destroy the kidneys of a large percentage of patients! They mentioned that the dose used which produced sporadic results in a petri dish was hundreds of times the normal dose.
Anyway, they already know that if you administer Ivermectin to millions of patients, even at the normal dose levels, you will end up with hundreds of hospitalisations per million from Ivermectin side-effects with some of those people ultimately requiring life long dialysis.
Ivermectin, which is neither a treatment or a prophylactic for Sars-CoV-2, is just touted by COVID-19 sceptics as part of a rock throwing exercise.
FYI, feedback on the main major Ivermectin study used to boost it's efficacy;
Quote:“The authors claimed they conducted the study between the 8th of June and 20th of September 2020, however most of the patients who died were admitted into hospital and died before the 8th of June according to the raw data. The data was also terribly formatted, and includes one patient who left hospital on the non-existent date of 31/06/2020.”So they are caught out manipulating the data and patient records to make Ivermectin look good! Of course to lay people 2 or 4 doesn't sound like much, but the study was so small that 2 or 4 is all the deaths that occurred in the study group, so erasing a couple deaths here or adding a couple of survivors there results in a +50% improvement!
There were other concerns.
“In their paper, the authors claim that four out of 100 patients died in their standard treatment group for mild and moderate Covid-19,” Lawrence said. “According to the original data the number was 0, the same as the ivermectin treatment group. In their ivermectin treatment group for severe Covid-19, the authors claim two patients died, but the number in their raw data is four.”
When the raw data was re-analysed with out the manipulated figures, the results matched closely with all the replication studies, and that finding is patients in the Ivermectin trial survived or perished by chance!
