South Africans might be desperate to stop Covid-19 in its tracks, but this does not mean scientific rigour will be forfeited.

On a webinar hosted by Project ECHO and the National Health Laboratory Service, a member of the public posed the question, “Why is our government saying Ivermectin can’t be rolled out as it is not registered, when people are dying?”It focused on meta-analysis of Ivermectin and considered some promising results of many different studies across the globe, but the study also stated severe limitations by those who had done the research.

Prof Ian Sanne, the director of Right to Care, said, “I don't understand how Ivermectin would work because it would require doses a hundredfold the dose in the studies. Also, where does it fit in the cascade of treatment?” He added, “I would struggle to prescribe it and the social media and hype is irresponsible and inappropriate at this stage. We need to see more data. Much more evidence is required and the regulatory hurdles we face are that we don’t know the correct dose, we do not know its safety profile, and we are concerned about the random prescription that occurs.

Ivermectin does “inhibit the replication of SARS-CoV-2 in vitro”, it only does so at “concentrations not readily achievable with currently approved doses”.

One Pager of Trials: Ivermectin COVID19

This article and the 'experts' are embarrassing themselves. Over 3 BILLION Humans have taken Ivermectin, how many went blind? The COVID19 study study using 100x dosage was invitro, there are thousands of cases where the drug is used with recommended dosage. Its absurd!

Ivermectin now! It saves lives, why aren't you promoting this? Do you know the risk of the experimental vaccines?

I wonder if the vaccines are going through the same testing and time frames as Ivermectin. There has to be a process of fast tracking this. When your house is burning you do not need to test water pressure before trying to dose it off.

I’m back with smile on my face again thanks to marksust7 I don’t know what to say I was skeptical but I am proud to let the world know that you’re the reason behind my successful trades life!!🙏🙏🙏🙏 God bless you for your good work
