Code: https://github.com/nasaul/paper_ivermectinaData:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VtXKW1IuCm4qRowlotXnTWZlhLoQYYmEsZp7ERUIeAQSummaryObjectiveTo measure the effect of Mexico City’s population-level intervention –an ivermectin-based Medical Kit––in hospitalizations during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods
A quasi-experimental research design with a Coarsened Exact Matching method using administrative data from hospitals and phone-call monitoring. We estimated logistic-regression models with matched observations adjusting by age, sex, COVID severity, and comorbidities. For robustness checks separated the effect of the kit from phone medical monitoring; changed the comparison period; and subsetted the sample by hospitalization occupancy,
Results
We found a significant reduction in hospitalizations among patients who received the ivermectin-based medical kit; the range of the effect is 52%-76% depending on model specification.ConclusionsThe study supports ivermectin-based interventions to assuage the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the health system.
Effectiveness
In the total population analyzed, a positive evolution of Covid-19 disease was observed, with an improvement in related symptoms of 48% and 77% at day 7 and day 14, respectively, after starting treatment. For most symptoms, improvement is observed within the first 48-72 hours after initiation of the Ivermectin protocol treatment regimen.
For the 24 states with early IVM treatment (and Lima), excess deaths dropped 59% (25%) at +30 days and 75% (25%) at +45 days after day of peak deaths. Case fatalities likewise dropped sharply in all states but Lima, yet six indices of Google-tracked community mobility rose over the same period. For nine states having mass distributions of IVM in a short timeframe through a national program, Mega-Operación Tayta (MOT), excess deaths at +30 days dropped by a population-weighted mean of 74%, each drop beginning within 11 day after MOT start. Extraneous causes of mortality reductions were ruled out. These sharp major reductions in COVID-19 mortality following IVM treatment thus occurred in each of Peru’s states, with such especially sharp reductions in close time conjunction with IVM treatments in each of the nine states of operation MOT. Its safety well established even at high doses, IVM is a compelling option for immediate, large scale national deployments as an interim measure and complement to pandemic control through vaccinations.
What motivates my writing about ivermectin is the enormous amount of misinformation and disinformation being heaped on this drug’s apparent life-saving potential in the fight against Covid. I want to be clear that I personally believe vaccines are the best resource available against this deadly virus, and I urge everyone to be vaccinated. That said, there is also an abundance of evidence that ivermectin: A) has virucidal properties; B) safely provides some protection against contracting Covid, and; C) appears to be efficacious in the treatment of Covid infection when used with other medicines.
A Lifeline from Buenos Aires
Dr. Hector Carvallo's discovery that ivermectin prevents COVID-19 is saving thousands of lives and helping open regions and cities of the world to normal life. So why is he constantly attacked?
No loss of smell or taste though.
Uttar Pradesh, India Announces State Is COVID-19 Free Proving the Effectiveness of “Deworming Drug” IVERMECTIN
For anyone interested, I finally found a source for ‘mectin that is easy to navigate and with easy payment options. Not the cheapest prices, but not gouging Westerners like some sources seem to be set up to do. Pay with PayPal, as I did, or credit card instead of cumbersome bank transfer boondoggles. I ordered a full compliment of FLCCC recommended early treatment medications. Free shipping over 200 bucks. Response was within hours and order fulfillment in 1 day. Now I wait for 20-30 days for delivery. I will report at that time.

@Eric Holder yes same random dude paypal payment, was held 10 days at customs but they eventually released it and everything arrived. Looks like decent quality, a whole !covid! warchest will cost you $200-$300, worth it imo.
Started to feel sick today. Headache, sneezing, coughing, general fatigue, light and sound sensitivity. No loss of smell or taste though.
Even though I've had Covid, I immediately began the I-MASK+ protocol. Big thanks to all of you that pointed me in the right direction in obtaining the mectins. And Rin for the Quercetin Phytosome recommendation.
Now it's wait and see.

How did you find out it was help up in customs?

Thanks for the info; I've had mine held up at JFK Customs since 9/1 (14 bidness days so far)
OTOH, my shipment from alldaypharmacy has already been delivered. Their stuff looks like doctors' pharma samples (1 pill in individual packaging as opposed to multiple pill blister packs). Manufacture date 6/21, so at least it's fresh.
EDIT: At least with PP, if customs confiscates I have recourse, unlike alldaypharmacy which is ACH.

India State That Pushed Ivermectin Now Free of Active COVID-19 Cases
Ivermectin for the win?
I'm afraid that a lot of naive leftists are going to die directly due to their inability to recognize corruption.
One can see the bias in Wikipedia by going on the "talk" pages for each subject and reading about the fierce attempts of editors to add these facts and the stone wall refusals by the "senior" editors who have an agenda. And that agenda is not loyalty to your health.
The easy way to read the “talk” page on any Wikipedia subject is to click the top left “talk” button. Anyone can then review the editors’ discussions.
There is a blackout on any conversation about how Ivermectin beat COVID-19 in India. When I discussed the dire straits that India found itself in early this year with 414,000 cases per day, and over 4,000 deaths per day, and how that evaporated within five weeks of the addition of Ivermectin, I am often asked, "But why is there no mention of that in the news?"
Yes, exactly. Ask yourself why India’s success against the Delta variant with Ivermectin is such a closely guarded secret by the NIH and CDC. Second, ask yourself why no major media outlets reported this fact, but instead, tried to confuse you with false information...

I've got a long way to go to believe the overall death rate will be noticeably higher this winter.
Anti-inflammatory activity of ivermectin in late-stage COVID-19 may reflect activation of systemic glycine receptors
One study on treatment of “long haulers” out of the National University of San Marcos in Peru, which the authors write deserves further study. Administering ivermectin to patients who still had symptoms four to twelve weeks after their first onset, Peruvian doctors reported “in 87.9 percent of the patients, resolution of all symptoms was observed after 2 doses with an additional 7 percent reporting complete resolution after additional doses.”

I’m thinking that for someone who is being forced to take the jab, going with the Johnson shot (viral vector) might be the best way, combined with the Rin supplement load and a healthy dose of Ivermectin. If the virus can’t propagate, it can’t deliver the death payload. Risky tho.
I doubt the Novavax will get an EUA. It can’t, not with the Pfizer jab getting FDA approval. That means it will be years before it’s available. I’m sure that this was done on purpose.
Biochemist Martenson: You Have Nothing to Lose With Ivermectin
SEP 29, 2021
Biochemist Chris Martenson argues that using Ivermectin off-label for COVID19 is both safe and effective.
His rationale is simple:
Safe. This proven drug has been used hundreds of millions of times worldwide for decades; It is safe and well-tolerated.
Effective. Prominent metanalyses have determined a strong signal, including randomized controlled trials and numerous observational studies by physicians like us.
Those who disparage Ivermectin as mere “horse dewormer” probably aren’t doctors. Physicians worldwide have been using the Nobel-prize-winning drug successfully in treating COVID-19.
Martenson compares the inexpensive off-patent Ivermectin to on-patent and EUA-approved Remdisivir, which comes with “25% severe side-effects.” So as Martenson concludes, the “safety profiles aren’t even remotely comparable.”
Such prompts one to ask why the FDA has approved Remdisivir for emergency use and not Ivermectin.
Even if it turns out, whether in further study or considered against new variants, that Ivermectin is less effective or ineffective, Martinsen essentially concludes that given how inexpensive the drug is:
What have you got to lose?
COVID19 physicians continue to emphasize early treatment, which might well include Ivermectin.
The current phase 3 is not for EUA if I understand correctly. They will apply for full approval by EOY. Similar to what Pfister did and is doing. They won't need years since Pfister didn't. Still they may try to delay it to sell more mrna poison but I think they will get full approval in 2022, the data so far is overwhelmingly better than Pfister and Moderna, and so is the safety profile. Also the who may fully approve it even before.
Pfizer Launches Final Study For COVID Drug That's Suspiciously Similar To 'Horse Paste'
BY TYLER DURDEN
TUESDAY, SEP 28, 2021 - 06:58 AM
Another piece US anti-Ivermectin puzzle may have emerged. On Monday, Pfizer announced that it's launching an accelerated Phase 2/3 trial for a COVID prophylactic pill designed to ward off COVID in those may have come in contact with the disease.
Coincidentally (or not), Pfizer's drug shares at least one mechanism of action as Ivermectin - an anti-parasitic used in humans for decades, which functions as a protease inhibitor against Covid-19, which researchers speculate "could be the biophysical basis behind its antiviral efficiency."
Lo and behold, Pfizer's new drug - which some have jokingly dubbed "Pfizermectin," is described by the pharmaceutical giant as a "potent protease inhibitor."

And HCQ falls into that same bucket. Even worse - to admit HCQ works would be to admit Trump was right about something.
Liberals would rather that millions die than that Trump be allowed to be right about anything. They hate Trump more than they love their fellow humans.
