Ivermectin and its use as a treatment for COVID-19 was catapulted to centre stage when the pandemic erased all rhyme and reason in 2020. However, even as the totality of evidence demonstrated Ivermectin’s efficacy, mainstream media and governments across the world dismissed its use based on the absence of randomised control trials. Further to that, virtually anything related to Ivermectin that made mainstream media was negative coverage of a drug that could’ve saved countless lives. Now, at last, a large randomised control study on Ivermectin efficacy for preventing and treating COVID-19 has been released.

It should be mentioned that RCTs are a really bad “gold standard.” Clinical studies are just as good depending on circumstances and in a pandemic are obviously what you want to rely on. Moreover, RCTs can be easily fudged through nepotism reviews, payola, poor design. During covid and still today there are known fraudulent RCT studies on ivermectin, HCQ, Remdesivir, and more. Science is just as liable to fraud as any other field of human activity and you don’t need no studies to prove that. ABN
