The University of Oxford said on Wednesday it was testing anti-parasitic drug ivermectin as a possible treatment for COVID-19, as part of a British government-backed study that aims to aid recoveries in non-hospital settings.

"By including ivermectin in a large-scale trial like PRINCIPLE, we hope to generate robust evidence to determine how effective the treatment is against COVID-19, and whether there are benefits or harms associated with its use," co-lead investigator of the trial Chris Butler said.

People with severe liver conditions, who are on blood-thinning medication warfarin, or taking other treatments known to interact with ivermectin, will be excluded from the trial, the university added. Ivermectin is the seventh treatment to be investigated in the trial, and is currently being evaluated alongside antiviral drug favipiravir, the university said.Sign up for our newsletter

‘Explores’... nu al! 🤣🤣🤣🙈

Don’t hide the truth. Spread the truth about what works and does not! Could taking this kill the jab and whatever is on that?

artspacehotel Are they going to censor this too I just wish someone would say something in the mainstream media and it would all be exposed. I am supposed to go to Washington DC in September and scared of being trapped to take it

🤡🤡

Can you imagine the political pressure that they're going to receive to say it's ineffective? Because if it's not, then the statists and their big tech and media allies have a whole lot of blood on their hands.

Ao menos vai ajudar a enterrar de vez esse assunto.

This is the university that created the Astra Zeneca vaccine? Interesting

REMÉDIO não mata, toma 1 comprimido d qualquer coisa, se der reação adversa, para d tomar e sai do organismo em 4 e 6 hs, agora QUEM quer ir d peito aberto enfrentar o c0vid, torça pra esta entre os 80% de assintomáticos e não entre os 20% q/vai parar no H0SPITAL e em respirador

Took them long enough.

Better late than never. 🤦‍♀️

Only 16 months too late and no research needed as there’s an insane amount of proof already.

Whatever evidences have been gathered by the studies till now are either inadequate or inconclusive to show any clinical benefit of ivermectin. Pinning all my hopes on this Oxford University's trial & wishing that it will be robust enough to clear off all the haze. 🙄

MVMD is a company who had a technology to make ivermectin more effective. Is this a big chance ?

Grande dia!!! 👍🏼

Was about time...

Only now?! 🤔

The results should be fascinating

Ban them! BretWeinstein

Oh, now they are 'exploring' what a fucking joke. Millions are dead.

Maledetti

BretWeinstein I'm probably the millionth to flag this to you.

There's already a meta analysis of 58 studies showing its efficacy... maybe start there?

knew this a year ago

But studying the potential for this drug to be efficacious is a waste of time. I already saw Facebook experts pontificating on how ivermectin is better than remdesivir, hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin, and sliced bread. They’re all in cahoots!

At long last, it’s only taken a year for us to get around to this.I’m sure it’s only coincidence that we’ve had to wait for the vast majority to get jabbed with an experimental drug,(which many experts are warning about & with serious numbers of adverse affects including death)🤷🏼‍♂️

Another blood clot maker?

No idea whether it will work or not, but good LORD did the medical establishment in many countries drag their feet on this one. 😑

BretWeinstein PierreKory have been screaming this for a YEAR! Y it take so long? How many ppl died in that time period? CENSORSHIP/Politics and blind leadership to CDC, WHO and NIH
