Protection increases with increased usage of politically charged drug<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Authors: Art Moore<\/strong> WND News Center<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n A large study on the impact of using ivermectin as a prophylaxis for COVID-19 found that regular users of the drug experienced up to a 92% reduction in mortality compared to those who did not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Brazilian research scientist Dr. Flavio A. Cadegiani said via Twitter that his study<\/a> in his home country showed a \u201cdose-response effect,\u201d meaning that \u201cthe more you used, the more protection you had.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n He observed that people who use ivermectin regularly every 15 days for at least six to eight weeks had up to a 92% reduction in mortality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cadegiani conducted a previous study of drug that evaluated whether its use could impact COVID-19 infection and mortality rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Last fall, esteemed epidemiologist Dr. Harvey Risch of Yale Medical School was among scientists and physicians who said in Senate testimony that thousands of lives could have been saved if treatments such as ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine had not been suppressed<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In April, after noticing that the word ivermectin was trending on Twitter amid Elon Musk\u2019s move to buy the company, the FDA reprised its disingenuous \u201chorse dewormer\u201d smear of the drug as a treatment for COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHold your horses, y\u2019all. Ivermectin may be trending, but it still isn\u2019t authorized or approved to treat COVID-19,\u201d said a post on the FDA\u2019s Twitter account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The reference to horses played on the explosion last fall of media articles and social media posts mocking people who treated COVID-19 with the drug<\/a> as ignorant rubes who were sneaking into farms or patronizing Tractor Supply stores in quest of \u201chorse dewormer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n During the pandemic, Twitter and other social media platforms censored positive mention of ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine despite the countless testimonies and dozens of studies from around the world showing the drugs to be effective in treating COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A follow-up FDA post said: \u201cAlso, a reminder that a study showed it didn\u2019t actually work against COVID.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dr. Pierre Kory, who has testified to the Senate of the effectiveness of ivermectin against COVID-19, fired back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou are not a horse, you are not a cow, you are Big Pharma\u2019s ass,\u201d he tweeted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The FDA, he wrote, was \u201cmessaging BS\u201d by citing \u201cone corrupt study\u201d while ignoring 82 trials, including 33 randomized controlled trials<\/a> with 129,000 patients from 27 countries that show \u201cmassive benefits\u201d of ivermectin in treating COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cStop lying man, people are dying,\u201d he wrote, adding the hashtag \u201cearlytreatmentworks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
