So I should ask the Nobel prize winner to find out he doesn’t have an opinion on the matter and that is supposed to be evidence that it doesn’t work?
Haruo Ozaki made his recommendation to use Ivermectin as a treatment for covid on February 9th, 2021. Not exactly “early days” of the pandemic. It was well over a year into the virus spreading and nearly a year into it officially being a pandemic.
As far as I can tell there is no “current consensus” regarding Ivermectin outside of the mainstream narrative that its “deboonked conservative quackery”. Looking into it further there seems to be one side that is willing to point to clinical data like Haruo did when making his recommendation and one side reflexively demonizing it as “horse paste” because the main stream media told them that hospitals were “overflowing” with “ivermectin overdoses”. Its only when pushed that they then point to these more recent studies that supposedly “definitively show” ivermectine is ineffective.
Coincidently, only one of these positions seems to have a financial incentive for big pharma but im sure that’s not relevant to the conversation.
Looking at the timeline of events regarding Ivermectin there isnt a single study from before the topic became a political issue that found it to be ineffective. As soon as it became a political topic of contention however we suddenly get several studies with dubious funding(all of which can be traced to certain key players who stood to gain financially from ivermectines being found ineffective) and questionalble methodology like using much lower and more infrequent dosing saying that its ineffective…but as with much of the conversation surrounding the vid we get “the experts agree”, “the consensus is” and my favorite “the science is settled”.
Anyone who’s actually looked into the matter and is honest would conclude that at best, we still dont actually know whether its effective or not because the more recent studies on the matter seem to have gone out of their way to ensure that any effect from the ivermectin wouldn’t be found.
