Ivermectin: Efficacy Despite Misinformation From the Government and Mainstream Media
Ivermectin is most effective when administered immediately after initial infection, with significant drops in efficacy occurring if treatment is delayed. Studies that claimed ivermectin was ineffective were flawed, often employing tactics such as late dosing or under-dosing, yet even under these conditions, data suggested it had a positive effect. Unlike hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin's low harm profile supports immediate treatment upon diagnosis. The narrative surrounding the dangers and ineffectiveness of ivermectin appears to be driven by misinformation, as there seems to have been an agenda that favored promoting a broader understanding of a pandemic, alongside the desire for control and compliance among the public. The contrasting messaging from authorities raises questions about motives behind discrediting a drug that could mitigate the impact of the virus, hinting at a potential connection to larger interests and profit incentives in the pharmaceutical industry.
