Their stupidity is to our advantage, let’s watch them burn with uncontrolled infections and become an example of a country not using Ivermectin.

“In terms of safety and efficacy, there is no evidence to support the use of ivermectin and we do not have any clinical trial evidence to justify its use. “Sahpra is focused on quality, safety and efficacy and its ultimate goal is to protect the health and well-being of all those who live in South Africa. The use of such a drug could potentially lead to harmful effects or even death,” said Semete-Makokotlela.

Wow. Use could lead to death? Just to clarify, they're saying there's no clinical trial evidence to justify using it, but are they implying they saw evidence it could lead to death? I'm confused.

Do we have data on how common death is from the drug?
