Following up on "Ivermectin angle" in case anyone interested.

"Ivermectin prophylactic study from India - Dr John Campbell"
Ivermectin in India, Prophylactic role of ivermectin in SARS-CoV-2 infection among healthcare workers


​


Background
Healthcare workers (HCWs) are vulnerable to getting infected withSARS-CoV-2
Preventing HCWs from getting infected is a priority to maintain healthcare services

The therapeutic and preventive role of ivermectin in COVID-19 is being investigated
Based on promising results of in vitro studies of oral ivermectin,
this study to look at prophylactic role of oral ivermectin

Methods
Prospective cohort study was conducted at AIIMS Bhubaneswar
Two-doses of oral ivermectin, 300 μg/kg at a gap of 72 hours


Primary outcome, COVID-19 infection in the month following
Of 3892 employees, 3532 (90.8%) participated in the study

Ivermectin uptake n = 2, 384 (67.5%)
Non uptake, n = 1147 (32.5%)

Results
Development of symptomatic infection
331 participants, developed symptoms
131 in takers
200 from non takers

Ivermectin takers, 6%
Non takers, 15%

Testing positive, 201
Ivermectin takers, 2%
Non takers, 11.7%

Implications for transmission

HCWs who had taken two-doses
(Single dose did not reach significance)

Significantly lower risk of contracting COVID-19 disease during the following month was 0.18

Adjusted Relative Risk 0.17

1.8% reported adverse events, mild and self-limiting

Conclusion and relevance
Two-doses of oral ivermectin (300 μg/kg given 72 hours apart) as chemoprophylaxis among HCWs
reduces the risk of COVID-19 infection by 83% in the following month.

Safe, effective, and low-cost chemoprophylaxis have relevance in the containment of pandemic
alongside vaccine.

AIIMS Director, Gitanjali Batmanabane

Earlier, at least 20 to 25 HCWs were getting infected with the virus daily.
After the workers started taking ivermectin, the number of infection has come down to one or two per day

Critique

The safety of the drug has been established by its large-scale use in the last four decades for
various indications such as onchocerciasis, scabies, head lice, and other parasitic infestations

WW, a couple of Nurses have already stated they will take whatever punishment that comes their way for being complicit in crimes against humanity. I wouldn't expect you to do the same, you would need some moral fibre. Not looking to good for Billy Boy at the moment is it, maybe you could share a cell and he could tell you where it all went wrong.

[panama7] 11/5/2021 21:53

Goy, no one could be that stupid to highlight an article by full Fact. Who funds them ?

[wigwammer] 11/5/2021 21:33

P7. I can 100% reassure you I will not be pleading my case for breach of the Nuremberg code. There is no point to your posts. ATB.

[goyathlay] 11/5/2021 21:15

Panama,
I can't help thinking you are going to suddenly say one day:

"Haha, fooled you all. I was joking all along"

I mean, no-one could be that stupid for that long.

[panama7] 11/5/2021 21:11

WW, what does that make you if you don't support the Nuremburg code. there was a name for people like you in the 30's. Are you a brown shirted Covid Marshal by any chance.

[wigwammer] 11/5/2021 21:01

The Nuremberg nutter :)

[panama7] 11/5/2021 20:37

WW, to promote and coerce Humans to take part in a medical experiment is in breach of the Nuremburg code. I look forward to hearing you plead your case.

[wigwammer] 11/5/2021 20:15

EE. You are quite right. Lockdowns have been used by health authorities all over the world to inhibit the spread of covid, but they have damaging consequences. Fastest way out - get your population vaccinated. 53m+ vaccinations and rising :)

[inanaco] 11/5/2021 20:13

that's why a hold big here ......

[dominiccummings] 11/5/2021 20:11

"this is why Some south Americans got wiped out by the flu ! when the Spanish landed ... never seen it before !!"

Correct. So you get some things right.

[inanaco] 11/5/2021 19:30

Covid is beating you hands down chap......

all the variants that get established ... still Kill

but if you want to swan around pretending ... that your Darwin theory is right

its more the case that we will naturally build antibodies over time from multiple infections ... so that it appears the virus is weaker ...

your illusion is Not understanding how we develop ...

this is why Some south Americans got wiped out by the flu ! when the Spanish landed ... never seen it before !!

[dominiccummings] 11/5/2021 18:48

Now that is unsubstantiated rubbish.

[inanaco] 11/5/2021 16:24

Marcus ... Covid does not kill 50% .... of its hosts ...

etc

lets call it an "exaggeration"

in fact the more infectious the covid variant becomes the more it becomes dominant

[panama7] 11/5/2021 15:42

Dominic, as Kary Mullis said about Fauci, he knows a whole load of nothing about nothing.

[dominiccummings] 11/5/2021 15:33

Thank you Marcus. Beat me to it. Not that the weirdo 'inanaco' will accept it. It seems to have the only opinion on this thread, on anything!

[marcusl2] 11/5/2021 15:21

A pathogen that kills each host before it has had time to infect other susceptible individuals will rapidly die out. So, while a highly virulent strain can thrive in conditions where hosts are crowded together, once the virus jumps into the wider population, natural selection will tend to favour strains that are less deadly. Put bluntly, dead hosts don't travel, and so don't spread the virus to new susceptible hosts.

[panama7] 11/5/2021 15:12

EE, there is already a treatment or do you not consider it worthwhile to listen to actual Critical Care Doctors treating real Patients. Four Court cases in New York all in favour of Family's requiring their relatives to be treated with Ivermectin. All aged and all fully recovered.

[inanaco] 11/5/2021 15:11

like wise do you have any proof the variants are milder ... hence your suggestion is tripe ....

the flu every so often throws up a bad one ......

if you are correct ... the flu should have been regulated to have zero effect on health considering the length of time in circulation ...... with its yearly shift

[emptyend] 11/5/2021 14:56

This may also have some relevance to Scancell, from the Queen's Speech:A new UK agency to search for ground-breaking scientific discoveries will be established by the Advanced Research and Invention Agency Bill

[dominiccummings] 11/5/2021 14:54

#39137 Can you explain why this is 'tripe'? Is it simply because you don't agree? Or have you knowledge of some other facts?

[emptyend] 11/5/2021 14:51

Well that may be so. Lockdowns cause severe and damaging consequences. I would far rather nobody anywhere even considered lockdowns.....because they wouldn't need to, due to good vaccines being available........which is, for Scancell, the aim of the exercise as existing vaccines don't provide broad enough protection.

[panama7] 11/5/2021 14:12

Gecko, spot on, the cure far worse than the virus but we must protect the sheeple at all costs, no matted what overall damage is caused.

[geckotheglorious] 11/5/2021 14:01

I will add to my above by saying ALL i see in the Media is the number of cases soaring, and , with the lag, the number of deaths.

Hardly ever see

"Number of Recovered"


In case anyone interested:

Closed cases: 140,637,936
Recovered: 137,319,923 (98%)
Deaths: 3,318,013 (2%)


Active cases: 18,976,130
Mild: 18,869,718 (99.4%)
Critical: 106,412 (0.6%)

The numbers do not lie. It is bad, but not that bad. Instead we shut down the global economy and the negative outcomes associated with such will be far far worse imv.

[inanaco] 11/5/2021 13:50

""but every experience of virus suggests that milder varieties spread faster (as they affect the host less).""

what a load of tripe ........
