The writer is seen is as a critic in the ivermectin community - because of his statements or quotes in news articles against ivermectin - perhaps he was quoted out of context in those articles.

But here in his own article, he gives a fairly balanced view of ivermectin.

It is a good article on ivermectin, including it's safety, and the situations where it is unsafe (when blood/brain barrier is compromised).

Article urges caution before ivermectin is prescribed to general public - but urges trials to be sure. Which is all that he could say.

I would probably add that ivermectin should be avoided if you are going to be doing intense exercise or activity where you could have a minor stroke (haemorrhage) or bleeding in the brain. Or if you drink alcohol or are at risk of weakened blood/brain barrier - since ivermectin is usually prevented from crossing the blood brain barrier but if someone has meningitis (or has a stroke/leakage) then it is advised not to take it.

That is if someone thinks they have covid19 and are taking ivermectin, then behave carefully - dont act like ivermectin is allowing you to act differently than you would during sickness.

And in any case, it is not advisable to engage in strenuous activity - going to the gym for an intense workout or running - if you have a viral infection.

I'm deleting this because it's redundant and it doesn't follow the naming convention. One GOAL of the naming convention is to make it easy to find already-posted articles. Get the article's title into the clipboard, search for it on the sub. Easy right?

I am frustrated with the naming convention violations. Please read the top post about them. Notice how most of the posts are named!

Too bad your report is 4 months behind the times and totally untrue. DISREGARD THIS. YOU HAVE NOT BEEN KEEPING UP WITH TRIALS IN USA!!

There is the ICON trial completed in May and submitted to preprint server in may 2020 in Ft Lauderdale with 270 hospitalized patients that showed a DRAMATIC REDUCTION in MORTALITY with single dose Ivermectin. The higher risk Pulmonary patients especially showed approx a 60% decreased mortality with Ivermectin 200mcg/kg!!.....all but 3 received a single dose...and a 20-30% mortality decrease in ALL Hospitalized patients {with Ivermectin plus usual care v's usual care alone} in 4 large hospitals run by Broward Health in the Ft Lauderdale, Florida area. This study was run By Dr Rajter and his team at Broward General and its 3 satellite centers.Look it up and catch up with the times.........
