For benefit of those who did not read his long post about ivermectin: the best estimate from available data is that any benefit seen comes from treating co-morbid worm infestations.
(There is lots of test-tube evidence suggesting ivermectin was worth trying; but actual clinical effectiveness is all that really matters, in the end, and that failed.)
Wasn’t it a guestimation of 50/50 that relied on doctors not realizing treating people for covid who also had worms with steroids would cause the worms to go into hyper growth?
Great article but that last bit about assuming doctors in areas where worm infections are common don’t know they can’t treat the infected with steroids, seems a big stretch.
