  1. Brand new report in WSJ by Sarah Toy Friday March 18 2022 7AM Ivermectin Didn’t Reduce Covid-19 Hospitalizations in Largest Trial to Date Patients who got the antiparasitic drug didn’t fare better than those who received a placebo MY SUMMARY: The study looked at patients who had COVID symptoms and a positive rapid-test, and a co-morbidity like diabetes, cardiovascular problems, lung disease, or high blood pressure. It divided the patients randomly into two groups and gave one Ivermectin and the other placebo. Then tracked admission rates, length of hospitalization, ventilator use, death rates, how fast they got better, and how fast they cleared the virus. They did several analyses, including one which only included patients who said they followed the prescribed instructions carefully. RESULT: No observable clinical benefit.

  2. @Steve Sheldon What do you mean "control for age"? The two groups - the test group (who got ivermectin) and the control group (who got placebo) were chosen at random. I mean in the new study described today (Friday March 18) in the WSJ, not in the one discussed in the video.
