Effect of Higher-Dose Ivermectin for 6 Days vs. Placebo on Time to Recovery (jamanetwork.com)

Pretty useless. This study is actually measuring time to recovery from post-covid inflammatory damage after a vaccinated person controls a Covid infection.

The study realistically studied patients who "experienced at least 2 acute COVID symptoms" for 5-7 days before they got their ivermectin.

These same patients started being 100% symptom-free on average 8 days after starting a 6-day course of treatment or a placebo.

This is pretty useless when it shows very low levels of severe COVID effects and high, fast recovery rates in vaccinated study subjects.


But I bet it sorted their heartworms right out.
