Ivermectin fails another COVID trial, links use to politics

Ivermectin fails another COVID trial as study links use to GOP politics

"Political affiliation should not be a factor in clinical treatment decisions."

The antiparasitic drug ivermectin failed to treat COVID-19 in yet another randomized clinical trial, but the drug remains popular amid the pandemic thanks to Republican politics. That's the takeaway from two separate studies published Friday in JAMA Internal Medicine.

Together, the studies raise yet more concerns for the use of ivermectin against the pandemic virus—as well as the reasons behind its use, which appear politically motivated.

"Political affiliation should not be a factor in clinical treatment decisions," the Harvard researchers behind one of the studies concluded. "Our findings raise concerns for public trust in a non-partisan health care system."

As I've said many mini times, it's all about politics. Not about medicine, science or any actual concern for helping anyone except politicians.

In two years time more Americans have died of covid-19 than have died in some major wars. More than 3x WWII deaths (291,557 vs 935K; source google). Or 1 in every 351 Americans dead and getting worse daily. (935 K / 329.5 Million US pop.).

But let's just put our fingers in our ears, close our eyes, and keep saying everything can just go back to normal by waving our Fox News magic wand. (even though right now they are busy being Putin's mouthpiece.)
