Ivermectin: Cheap Covid Treatment Shown to be Highly Effective in New Peer-Reviewed Study

by Will Jones
3 May 2021 10:38 PM

A new peer-reviewed study by Dr Pierre Kory and colleagues on Ivermectin has been published in the American Journal of Therapeutics. Entitled “Review of the Emerging Evidence Demonstrating the Efficacy of Ivermectin in the Prophylaxis and Treatment of COVID-19“, it provides a new authoritative overview of the evidence to date and calls for the widely available drug to be “globally and systematically deployed in the prevention and treatment of COVID-19”.

The study summarises the impressive evidence base for the use of Ivermectin.

1. Since 2012, multiple in vitro studies have demonstrated that Ivermectin inhibits the replication of many viruses, including influenza, Zika, Dengue, and others.
2. Ivermectin inhibits SARS-CoV-2 replication and binding to host tissue through several observed and proposed mechanisms.
3. Ivermectin has potent anti-inflammatory properties with in vitro data demonstrating profound inhibition of both cytokine production and transcription of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), the most potent mediator of inflammation.
4. Ivermectin significantly diminishes viral load and protects against organ damage in multiple animal models when infected with SARS-CoV-2 or similar coronaviruses.
5. Ivermectin prevents transmission and development of COVID-19 disease in those exposed to infected patients.
6. Ivermectin hastens recovery and prevents deterioration in patients with mild to moderate disease treated early after symptoms.
7. Ivermectin hastens recovery and avoidance of ICU admission and death in hospitalised patients.
8. Ivermectin reduces mortality in critically ill patients with COVID-19.
9. Ivermectin leads to temporally associated reductions in case fatality rates in regions after ivermectin distribution campaigns.
10. The safety, availability, and cost of ivermectin are nearly unparalleled given its low incidence of important drug interactions along with only mild and rare side effects observed in almost 40 years of use and billions of doses administered.
11. The World Health Organisation has long included ivermectin on its “List of Essential Medicines.”

The quality of the evidence for Ivermectin has been challenged, leading many countries including the U.K. and U.S. not to recommend its use for COVID-19. The study takes this criticism head-on.

Although a subset of trials are of an observational design, it must be recognised that in the case of ivermectin (1) half of the trials used a randomised controlled trial design (12 of the 24 reviewed above) and (2) observational and randomised trial designs reach equivalent conclusions on average as reported in a large Cochrane review of the topic from 2014. In particular, OCTs that use propensity-matching techniques (as in the Rajter study from Florida) find near identical conclusions to later-conducted RCTs in many different disease states, including coronary syndromes, critical illness, and surgery. Similarly, as evidenced in the prophylaxis and treatment trial meta-analyses as well as the summary trials table, the entirety of the benefits found in both OCT and RCT trial designs aligns in both direction and magnitude of benefit. Such a consistency of benefit among numerous trials of varying sizes designs from multiple different countries and centres around the world is unique and provides strong, additional support.

A hint of the politics around Ivermectin can be gleaned in the discussion section, where the authors wonder how much more evidence a cheap, safe drug like Ivermectin needs in an international emergency before it can be approved.

The continued challenges faced by health care providers in deciding on appropriate therapeutic interventions in patients with COVID-19 would be greatly eased if more updated and commensurate evidence-based guidance came from the leading governmental health care agencies. Currently, in the United States, the treatment guidelines for COVID-19 are issued by the National Institutes of Health. Their most recent recommendation on the use of ivermectin in patients with COVID-19 was last updated on February 11th, 2021, where they found that “there was insufficient evidence to recommend for or against ivermectin in COVID-19”. For a more definitive recommendation to be issued by major leading public health agencies (PHA), it is apparent that even more data on both the quality and quantity of trials are needed, even during a global health care emergency, and in consideration of a safe, oral, low-cost, widely available and deployable intervention such as ivermectin.

The authors add that further evidence is on its way and express an earnest hope that “if the above benefits in clinical outcomes continue to be reported in the remaining trials … this almost doubling of the current supportive evidence base would merit a recommendation for use by the WHO, NIH, and other PHAs”.

The study includes two striking graphs, from Peru and Uruguay, illustrating the strong association of Ivermectin use with reduction in Covid infections and deaths.

Alto Parana used Ivermectin from where the line goes bold whereas the other states did not
In Peru, Lima did not use Ivermectin whereas the other states did

Considering how quickly vaccines using novel technology with unproven long-term safety records have been authorised for use, the failure to approve a known safe drug with considerable evidence to suggest clinical benefit is almost inexplicable. Some have suggested the resistance has been motivated by a wish among pharmaceutical companies to prioritise more profitable medicines like the vaccines. If so, this is a criminal example of putting profits before people.

It is good to see this study make it to publication. (There are rumours that some journals rejected it, not for any technical reason but because it would be controversial, possibly with their sponsors.) It is to be hoped there will be many more such studies, and a sea-change in regulators’ attitudes to repurposed medicines like Ivermectin.

If Ivermectin is made available en masse, the entire vaccination programme worldwide falls to the floor. In the UK, and the rest of the Western World, there are simply too many vested interests to ever let this happen. This report will be snuffed out and I doubt will make a single principle media outlet on the TV, online or print. I would dearly love to be wrong but, like T-cell immunity tests which are done, dusted and then have been hidden away, ivermectin will never make it mainstream until too late – when everyone’s jabbed, biometric health passports are everywhere and the next health panic is sweeping the globe.

The fatwas against HCQ and Ivermectin are the crimes of the century, sofar, and also the clear proof that this was a plandemic and that none of any responses has ever been, is or will ever be about the public’s health, to the contrary.

Yes, Covid1984 is 100% criminal, no two ways about it. As with its predecessor 9/11, which also had the effect of ruining what was then a much better and more beautiful world, the only explanation that makes any sense is foul play and a bunch of criminals running amok. The things they are doing simply don’t make any sense in terms of promoting good public health.

9/11 spawned millions of online investigators who have now had 20 years of experience in researching and identifying how these peope and their deception-based media run their scams. They just recruited millions more investigators into their crimes by rolling this crap out, including lawyers and medical professionals of the highest calibre which 9/11 never had, it was always a fringe movement. With Covid1984 it’s a lot easier to prove its criminal nature and it’s easier do analysis in real time.

Governments are behaving in an overtly harmful and malicious manner in a way which can easily be identified and which they are attempting to justify with relentless brainwashing, intimidation, deceit and fraud. This is how criminals behave.

Take the WHO and Lancet attempt at disrediting HCQ for example. They had a study which they retracted which concluded that HCQ was seriously harmful and should not be used to treat Covid. I’m not sure what the full story is with these sham trials, whether or not they actually went to the trouble of deliberately giving people overdoses of HCQ in order to rubbish the drug or if they just made the whole thing up, but they had a huge push to get HCQ off the shelves, of course to make way for the Frankenstein 1984 Vaccines.

If people are not prepared to properly assess what is going on in this world then those at the levers of power will keep running operations like Covid and 9/11 forever, because the people are too controlled to discuss them properly so they can just run rings around everyone.

Think of how you view people who are facilitating Event Covid with their ignorance, with their refusal to look at the facts, with their blind faith in these lowlifes in Westminster and Whitehall as they spout one lie after the next, unchallenged, getting away with it as their accomplices in the press look the other way and somehow manage to conceal hugely important truths from the public. Well I’ve been feeling that way for nigh on 20 years now, since these assholes wrecked the world with their 9/11 act of false-flag terrorism and all the pre-planned wars they engineered off the back of it. It’s how I have known from day one that Covid19 is based on lies, and nothing has changed since then, just the evidence confirming this has become more and more emphatic to the point where it’s already case closed, all the evidence required to prove this is a fraud has been gathered.

That we’re dealing with criminal organisations (Big Pharma) has been clear from the start. They have all paid massive fines for criminal misconduct in the past.
What we need to find out is who the facilitators in the media and government are and name and shame them. I still cling to the hope that they are only in it for the money and that it’s not ALL a depopulation conspiracy.
If anyone can provide clear links for unfitness for office, such as Vallance’s personal investments in Big Pharma, these should be aired frequently. Can anyone link the BBC to the bastards, for instance?

A huge number of professionals around the world agree with Yeadon (scientists, medical professionals, economists, lawyers, IT specialists, religious leaders, educationalists, historians, politicians even). It was the subject of an international symposium last weekend ‘Truth not Fear X: covid 19 and the Great Reset’, which halted abruptly mid-presentation from one of the speakers when the host platform suddenly discovered the content and pulled the plug.

It should be fairly obvious to most by now, that the Covid event was always about “vaccination” and that the TINA rule would apply, no matter how good the evidence is for any non-vaccine treatment.

While the “vaccines” will certainly make a lot of money for some disgusting and disgustingly rich people, it nevertheless appears to be more than “highly likely” that these sinister gene altering products will have an important job to do, which has very little to do with preventing infection or transmission of Covid-19.

Considering that the global depopulator-in-chief is heavily invested in all of the current crop of Covid “vaccines” it shouldn’t really be too hard to work out exactly what they are really up to.

Another report that will be buried. It has to be because alternative treatments to “the vaccines” invalidate Emergency Use Authorisation if my understanding is correct.

And the point of the “vaccination” programme is global depopulation so it has to carry on.

Sometimes truth sneaks through. There have been people pushing Ivermectin for months, as well as CDS (Trump’s famous bleach) and Hydrochloroquine from the start. They have been in routine use in parts of South America for instance, for a year. There are genuine scientists out there doing genuine studies and they can’t all be shut down. You need to listen to Mikovitz, Cahill, Yeadon and get down that rabbit hole!

Plus you can’t introduce nanochip technology combined with biometrics that will link to specialist surveillance systems if you promote licensed, cheap drugs with good long-term safety records that people can buy over the counter or for which they can get prescriptions. “Would you like a free nanochip inserted with that pill sir/madam?” “Er, no thanks – I’ll pass on that free offer”

Mass vaccination is the only way of effectively introducing these new digital IDs that were originally planned for use on smart phone devices, but since many people round the world still don’t own one, the universal plan could not be delivered that way. If mandatory vaccinations are not permitted by constitutions then the governments who have signed up as partners for the WEF’s Fourth Industrial Revolution were advised to introduce health status passports (thus mandating them by default).

The nanotechnology already exists and the chips are now small enough to be injected via a standard hypodermic needle. DARPA and Moderna joinly patented the technology of combining them with vaccines in 2019 – so the assumed conspiracy theory is not so far from reality as some folk think. Even UNESCO published a document on this (it may still be on the resources list of their website?). The technology also featured in a World Economic Forum video which was on that website in November 2020, under Nanotechnology below the Fourth Industrial Revolution section. That is why there is a worldwide push on the vaccines, even though they are only in trial 3 stages.

First frighten them into submission, then hold the carrot (vaccination) of hope,then frighten them again (new variants), then hold the new carrot of hope (boosters) and with any luck the gravy train of profit will go on for years while the real hope (ivermectin) is always left standing in the wings. It’s called brainwashing.

But its cheap and readily available, so why would these pocket lining politicians want to promote it? It will save lives, not decimate them, as the vaccines will ultimately. This will save, not depopulate, so very firmly off the genocide agenda.

You can order Ivermectin direct from India where the government has been issuing it for almost the last year. Just search on Duck Duck Go.

This drug is around 50 years old and won the Nobel prize for it’s developers Merck for it’s treatment of River Blindness.

It is routinely used as an antiparasitic in animals, principally for intestinal worms. There’s probably not been a morsel of meat passed your lips that hasn’t been treated with Ivermectin.

It’s also an extraordinarily safe drug and 100% of studies prior to this have found it successful to some degree or another as a prophylactic for Covid, or an early stage treatment.

Overall, of the tests examined recently, it was found to have a recovery rate of nearly 90% in early stage Covid.

The course is generally five days with Ivermectin orally administered on day one, three and five.

I am not providing medical advice. Do your own due diligence please.

Certainly as good as or better evidence than anything on the vaccine – and known safety streets ahead. Even if wider use came up with less encouraging results, it has far fewer downsides than the snake oil.

There is little doubt that the barriers to its use are political/financial, not medical.

Brilliant. We’ve been waiting for this. Pierre Kory deserves a Nobel prize as does Paul Marik. They also need financial help for their FLCCC Alliance, providing advice and ways to obtain Ivermectin for anyone asking for it. The man is a hero, and can be seen on Wednesdays at his webpage holding a zoom conference, (midnight in the UK). Fascinating. As also is his take on the current crisis in India, where until recently they were using Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine with excellent results. These talks are archived.

I think you’re confusing Ivermectin (IVM) with Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) – Trump mentioned HCQ. But both drugs work very effectively against Covid-19, though Ivermectin has the edge as it works at all stages of the illness. HCQ is effective if used early, combined with zinc and an antibiotic such as Azithromycin – this is the ‘Zelenko Protocol’.

I’ve just been looking at the more rigorous absolute risk reduction figures for Ivermectin. As far as I can see, the figure is 6.6%, as against about 1% for the vaccine when death is the criterion – i.e six times more effective when overall risk is low.

For protection against infection, the figure is ~45%. I don’t have ‘vaccine’ ARR for this.

No. Interestingly it used to be the active ingredient in certain pet parasitic treatments. In the case of dogs it was the active ingredient in an anti-flea/tick spot-on treatment called “Advantage” and possibly one or two others. Fipronil was at the time the usual alternative. I was familiar with this because, as the ‘companion’ of two border collies I was aware that a significant proportion of collies could die if they are treated with ivermectin. This is because a particular line of collies dating from decades ago do not carry a default gene which prevents ivermectin crossing the blood/brain barrier, and this can result in fatal convulsions very quickly. Vets advise that, as a precaution, no collies (and one or two other breeds) should be treated with ivermectin based products. So I used to check assiduously for any suggestion of ivermectin in any product I treated my dogs with.

When the evidence came out in early 2020 about ivermectin being a successful covid treatment the active ingredient in ‘Advantage’ changed and it seems that pet products no longer have ivermectin as the active ingredient even though it was successful at doing what it did. Presumably there were fears that people might start using it to treat themselves.

Ivermectin is available, but not licensed for use on humans. It is a marvellous worm killer – just google it.

Really? My children were prescribed it when they got Barbados sand worm in their feet. Back in the UK.

Try http://www.allmedkart.com/product-page/ivermectin-tablet – tablets arrive in date-marked blister packs with batch number. This one also looks OK too but haven’t tried it: http://www.ziverdokit.store/ivermectin

A welcome bit of editorial ‘bite’ in this article.

If we’ve learnt nothing else over the last 14 months, we should know by now that pure cold rational analysis is getting us nowhere. A bit of anger, and appetite to hold these criminals to account is what matters now.

Having fought the good fight for over a year, I’m not sure how you come to that last conclusion. I’ve found that, if evidenced argument is pretty weak, anger is totally ineffective. I’ve done both.

Maybe anger at our isolated level, but if large numbers of people started getting angry? My view is that this ends in one of only two ways – economic collapse, or mass disobedience. Of these, the latter is by far the preferable.

For my part, I find it impossible to watch what is going on around me and not be angry.

At the very least, the Sceptic side needs some passion.

Bluntly – ‘passion’ will do nothing. Generally, as soon as I start getting angry, I know I’ve lost the potential audience.

I actually strive hard to keep calm these days when faced with bovine ignorance – because I know I will lose any chance of getting through.

So who is going to pressurise the government, MHRA, NHS, WHO, EMA and all the others to sit up and take notice? Who is going to make them accountable for their actions? Because let’s face it, every other issue relating to hospital admissions, case numbers, lockdowns, deaths and even the pandemic becomes irrelevant if this treatment is used at the different stages of disease. What’s more, there has been criminal negligence by all the above organisations in wilfully ignoring it whilst letting people die.

Just posted this news on Facebook. Within seconds Facebook added this to my post. ‘Some unapproved Covid-19 treatments may cause serious harm. Get COVID-19 info’. Oddly it has nothing to say about Ivermectin but clearly the word’s enough to trigger the electronic censor. Here’s a selection:.

Facts about COVID-19
These facts come from the World Health Organization. They correct common, untrue rumours about COVID-19.
–
Vaccines are thoroughly tested for safety before they’re approved
Vaccines go through extensive trials before they can be introduced in a country. Expert doctors and scientists follow strict international standards while deciding whether to approve a vaccine. Like all medicines, vaccines may cause side effects that are usually minor and temporary. More serious side effects are extremely rare. A person is far more likely to be seriously harmed by a disease than by its vaccine.

COVID-19 vaccine development was accelerated without affecting safety
The need for a COVID-19 vaccine was urgent, so many resources were used to develop it quickly. Research and development took place at the same time around the world, while still adhering to strict safety and clinical standards. This allowed for faster vaccine development, but doesn’t make the studies any less rigorous or the vaccine any less safe.

Vaccine side effects are usually mild
Vaccines help protect the body from certain diseases. Like any medicine, they can cause minor, short-term side effects while the body adjusts to them, such as a sore arm or a mild fever. More serious side effects are possible, but extremely rare. A person is far more likely to be seriously harmed by a disease than by its vaccine.

Vaccine trials involve a diverse range of volunteers
In clinical trials, people volunteer to take and test the vaccine. These volunteers should be from diverse geographic areas, racial and ethnic backgrounds, genders and ages. They should also include people with underlying health conditions that put them at higher risk for the disease. This helps ensure that the vaccine is safe and effective for everyone.

COVID-19 vaccine trials are following safety and ethical standards
COVID-19 vaccines, like any vaccine, should follow standard development protocol to test the vaccine’s effectiveness and identify any common side effects or safety concerns. This includes multiple stages of testing with tens of thousands of volunteers.

You won’t be able to make a COVID-19 vaccine at home
Vaccine development is a complicated, technical process that can’t be done at home. It involves extensive laboratory testing followed by clinical trials involving thousands of volunteers. Vaccines must be approved in a country by expert doctors and scientists.

When properly worn, medical masks won’t make you breathe in too little oxygen or too much carbon dioxide
Medical masks, also known as surgical masks, are flat or pleated masks that attach to the head with straps or loops. Medical masks may feel uncomfortable if worn for a long time, but they won’t make you breathe in too little oxygen or too much carbon dioxide

Consuming bleach or disinfectant is dangerous and won’t prevent COVID-19
Bleach and other disinfectants are poisons. Do not spray, drink or otherwise put them into your body under any circumstances. They should only be used to carefully disinfect surfaces.

Eating hot peppers won’t cure or prevent COVID-19
Peppers may be tasty, but they can’t prevent or cure COVID-19. The best way to protect yourself from COVID-19 is to keep a safe distance from others and wash your hands frequently and thoroughly.

Hydroxychloroquine shouldn’t be used to treat COVID-19
Hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine are treatments for malaria and other diseases. However, WHO does not recommend either of these to treat COVID-19, regardless of disease severity. Hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine have not been shown to reduce mortality or length of hospitalisation and may increase the risk of diarrhoea, nausea or vomiting.

The paper referred to is truly brilliant, easy for non-medics to understand (read the Abstract) and, in just a couple of days, has already been read/downloaded tens of thousands of times; much more than most research papers ever attain. Click on the ‘Metrics’ button on the linked website to see latest numbers. Very keen interest in US, Netherlands, UK; heartening! The American Journal of Therapeutics is very highly respected.
And please do download the PDF to keep for yourself, forward to friends and print & post to your own GP, anyone who works in the NHS. The history of the drug is in there too; v. interesting. Ask your GP for ‘a private prescription of Ivermectin for prophylaxis against Covid-19’ (use those words!) and offer to pay for same. Crucial: ask for a written response.
As for sourcing, many have succeeded with http://www.allmedkart.com/product-page/ivermectin-tablet – tablets arrive in date-marked blister packs with batch number. Best go for 12mg tabs; it’s 0.2 mg per kg of bodyweight per dose (i.e., 60kg = 1 tab); full dosage info is at https://covid19criticalcare.com/ – you should of course speak to your doctor about any medicines and share that dosage protocol with him/her.

This one also looks OK too but haven’t tried it: http://www.ziverdokit.store/ivermectin

No emergency authorisation for the use of experimental gene therapy ‘vaccines’ if there is an effective treatment available. Mass murder was committed for this reason.

Not only Ivermectin but Hydroxychloroquine + Zinc + Azitromycin, Vitamin D, Vitamin C have been irrefutably scientifically proven to be highly effective against this gain of function – developed by humans bio-weapon.

Thank you for this interesting article and links to the original, Will Jones. Helpful. I shall send it to my doctor to whom I wrote refusing the novel gene based interventions currently touted as vaccines, especially since none of them meet the medical definition of a vaccine, all those on offer are currently unlicensed and for which there is zero medium to long term data available on adverse events. (I pointed out such important details have not been brought to her own patients’ attention, or indeed the public in any government or NHS literature, meaning ‘informed consent‘ has not actually been granted for these experimental drugs by anyone accepting the (misnamed) ‘vaccines’.

Hi team LS – can you pin this video https://youtu.be/JESrh_2KOzo to this article or re-recommend it. You recommended it yesterday in News Round Up – it’s by the FLCCC Alliance on India and Ivermectin. Bit technical in places (meant for practitioners) but very good.

Iverheal 12 is an oral anti-infective and anti-parasitic medication. Patients with Scabies and Filariasis are given these medications by doctors. These are parasite infections that develop as a result of external assaults. Scabies is a parasitic infection spread by itch mite-infected humans. Filariasis is a mosquito-borne ailment. Scabies produces irritation, pimples, and rashes on the skin, whereas it causes edoema in the legs.
