Another Ivermectin Success Story

El Salvador is another in the list of countries that have had beneficial results as far as Covid is concerned. On a cumulative basis El Salvador has done exceptionally well in terms of Covid mortality.

A lot of what follows is taken from JoNova (A science presenter, writer, speaker & former TV host; author of The Skeptic’s Handbook (over 200,000 copies distributed & available in 15 languages).

In terms of total death rates per million from Covid — El Salvador at 587 per million is worse than New Zealand (10) and Australia(95)  but lower than Canada (820), the UK (2,200), and the US (2,500).

How can it be that El Salvador had a death rate of about 20-25% that of the US?

It’s fair to ask if El Salvador has done enough testing, but the test positivity rate varied from 3% – 15% which is on par with many countries

As early as July 2020 El Salvador was trialling kits to treat Covid that included Ivermectin. Cases were starting to rise, so on August 9, 2020 the President Nayib Bukele made a national announcement that treatment kits and tests were available. Anyone with symptoms could call up the helpline and a box would be delivered to their home. Subsequently the Covid rate dramatically dropped.

The treatment kits included ivermectin, azithromycin, zinc, Vitamin D, Panadol, and an antihistamine … in the following doses:


        Acetaminophen 500 MG 1 Tab VO C /6 hours

  • Loratadine 10 MG 1 Tab V C /12 hours
  • Zinc 50 MG 1 Tab VO / day
  • Ivermectin 6 MG 1 Tab VO C /12 day
  • Vitamin C 500 MG 1 Tab VO C /day
  • Vitamin D 2000 MG 1 Tab VO C /day
  • Azithromycin 1 Tab VO C/day

By January 2021 cases were on the rise again and so Ivermectin was made available over the counter without a prescription for anyone to buy at pharmacies. Similar to what happened that prior summer, the Covid rates dropped impressively. Was it the vaccine that caused this second drop? … No, as the vaccine rollout began in February 2021, and by April 9 only 2.8% of the population was vaccinated. 

Why is Ivermectin not more widely used to treat Covid? 

Is it safe?

Back in 2010 some 700 children were enrolled in a trial to control head lice in two schools in Canberra, Australia. The most lice infected school not only gave ivermectin doses to 93% of all the children, but sent the drug home for their brothers and sisters too.  The exact details are behind a paywall, but similar trials like this use oral doses of 200 micrograms per kilogram, which is, as it happens, the same dose the FLCCC recommends for adults to use for prevention against Covid.

At the end of the school trial, six months later, lice infestations were down by 87% and “No adverse events were reported. ”

Read that last line again.

Lucky El Salvador didn’t wait for the random controlled trials to develop a treatment kit.
