Ivermectin Didn’t Reduce Covid-19 Hospitalizations in Largest Trial to Date
I don&#x27;t get it. I don&#x27;t understand anything about medicine but as far as I know the Japanese used ivermectin to treat COVID so it&#x27;s not just some developing countries that use it. I&#x27;m from Finland and our national news company even reported about some Finnish pharma companies that developed a nasal spay that could treat COVID. That nasal spray included ivermectin and they said it&#x27;s such a shame ivermectin has such a bad press because supposedly some yanks overdosed on horse dewormer after listening to Joe Rogan too much, but they still insisted that it&#x27;s an effective drug to treat COVID. I don&#x27;t know what to believe anymore. To me it seems that not even the trustworthy media can&#x27;t decide whether it&#x27;s effective or not.<p>The most bizarre part of this whole ordeal is how there was such a huge backlash to ivermectin usage as if it was some kind of a dangerous drug when that&#x27;s clearly not the case. Even my layman&#x27;s knowledge is enough to understand that much. If it&#x27;s placebo at worst then why did the media try to demonize it so hard?
