India is a big country. Much like Brazil, some states are using ivermectin & others follow western protocol.

So it is widely available in some of the states? That's good, at least some of them have some sense. I don't know why IVM does not get the credit it deserves. I'm glad it is saving lives wherever it is. Also, it immensely helped my sister with the long hauler syndrome she had after covid. She was basically debilitated by the fatigue and flu like symptoms. It only took one dose of IVM and she was 95% better by the next day. She didn't even expect it to do anything, so she was shocked at how much it helped. I don't know how it works, but it does work.

What it does is incapacitate the virus's ability to hide from your immune system. That allows your immune system to rapidly swoop and kick some virus butt.

That is true cities in Brazil that adopted early treatment with IVM, HCQ and so on have very low number of cases ICUs are empty and near 0 deaths

I asked a physician in India why they are not following the success of IVM in Uttar Pradesh & Bihar. He said some states have a big ego & follow western protocols.

Maharasta is suffering the worst & they are most advanced with vaccine administration.

India is puzzling mainstream observers like WaPo with its overall low death rate and case rate, despite its poor, crowded population and poor public health system.

They also need to explain why Florida is doing fine as well but that's a story for a different day. ;-p

Those crazy Floridians are prolly at herd immunity! Did they ever even lockdown?

Let's see how UP continues to hold. Found this yesterday about surges there as well: https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/lucknow/up-hits-all-time-daily-covid-peak-with-8490-cases-half-from-three-districts-7265334/

But it does mention IVM.
