Dr. Chaccour's influence extends all the way to the Phillippines.
MANILA — The Department of Health on Wednesday said the deworming drug Ivermectin should not be given to COVID-19 patients, especially since it has not yet been approved for such use.
“I am just warning those doctors who are doing this without undergoing through the regulatory process, because it can harm our countrymen because we do not yet have enough evidence that Ivermectin can be used for COVID-19 or to prevent of COVID-19, ”Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire said in a briefing.
(I am just warning those doctors who are doing this without undergoing through the regulatory process because this might be harmful to our citizens because there is no evidence yet that Ivermectin can be used for COVID-19 or to prevent COVID-19.)
Vergeire said people should not use off-label drugs, or those made for other illnesses, without the approval of the Food and Drug Administration and the ethics review board.
There have been reports abroad about Ivermectin being used for COVID-19.
An article posted by the Guardian quoted Barcelona Institute of Global Health’s Dr. Carlos Chaccour, who has studied Ivermectin for a decade, as saying that it is dangerous to use the drug. He said some have been using veterinary ivermectin, such as those used for sheep, on people.
holy shit, chaccour did alot of harm.

chaccour did alot of harm.
It depends on what's true about ivermectin!
If the studies eventually show that ivermectin + covid-19 are what caused the eventual genesis of zombies, then Dr. Chaccour helped stave off the zombie apocalypse a little while.
(This is just a joke. AFAIK, there is no evidence that ivermectin has ever turned anyone into a zombie.)

Another Philippines article with much the same content, no Chaccour mention.
“This is an ivermectin made in another study, it was done in vitro. When we say in vitro study, in laboratories it is done, it is only used in petri dishes - our preparatory agents - in test tubes, in petri dishes, ”she explained.
I think she needs to learn more about ivermectin.

Once again a leading health authority who is not conveying the truth
They know it works, but want studies to back it up, and they want to prevent people injuring themselves through self dosing
