Pittsburg, Kansas | There are never going to be large scale studies on ivermectin comparable to what drug companies do to get a drug FDA approved. A generic drug that the WHO claims is 6 cents a treatment no company is going to spend tens of millions of dollars for a study to prove something they could never get a return in their investment.
Any studies done will be small and under powered. There will never be a study "good enough" to satisfy the purists.
The current studies just back up what clinicians are seeing in practice. If the studies show it works but it wasn't helping in actual practice the studies would be brought to question. But what the small under powered studies indicate it may be helpful along with clinicians having success added to a pile of anecdotal evidence tells me there is a pretty good chance of it being beneficial. Add to that it is very safe and the only logical conclusion I can come up with such hostility towards using it or at least trying it at the request of patients is to protect revenue streams. It seems like a no brainer to try it. Seems a better chance than doing nothing, waiting until a person can't breathe, go to the hospital and given an emergency use drug that is known to do organ damage and put on a vent known to have low survival rate. A person could take ivermectin early and still have all those later options available to them if the ivermectin didn't work.
But that seems to be a hard concept for many to grasp. There is no downside.
