Ivermectin Anecdotes


What you are going to read will be called “anecdotal” by the Ivermectin non-believers, but at which point do these continued and repeated Ivermectin “anecdotes” become non-anecdotal? 

From PJMedia:

Florida families of severely ill COVID-19 patients are flocking to Dr. Eduardo Balbona. Balbona is a big believer in ivermectin. He alleges he has saved “dozens and dozens” of people suffering from Covid, using the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC) recommendations, with a few modifications based on each patient. The FLCCC treatment calls for, in part, ivermectin.

Hospitals receive federal money for treating COVID patients IF they use treatments outlined in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. Ivermectin isn’t a part of that treatment.

Granted the following is just one anecdotal story, but points out the measures that desperate people are willing to take in the face of severe Covid.

An anonymous woman recently contacted Dr. Balbona regarding her husband who was hospitalized with COVID.

“The husband was very ill,”  Dr. Balbona told the Epoch Times. “He’s in his 50s, a big strong guy. She called me desperate because they [the hospital] gave him remdesivir and she made them stop it, and he started getting worse and worse. And his oxygen demand went up.”

Balbona told the woman he could care for her husband once she got him out of the hospital. He wrote her prescriptions for the meds she would need. She filled the prescriptions including the one for Ivermectin, snuck them into the hospital, and gave them to her husband. That was on Friday. By Tuesday he was well enough to be discharged from the hospital. 

Anecdotal ?

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) famously tried to shame people out of taking ivermectin, despite people using it successfully all over the world. They somehow missed that ivermectin is also made for humans.

Last June the American Journal of Therapeutics published a meta-analysis of 15 different clinical studies. That AJT analysis concluded:

“Moderate-certainty evidence finds that large reductions in COVID-19 deaths are possible using ivermectin. Using ivermectin early in the clinical course may reduce numbers progressing to severe disease. The apparent safety and low cost suggest that ivermectin is likely to have a significant impact on the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic globally.”

That doesn’t sound like AJT thinks Ivermectin’s effect is anecdotal.

I did not read about that AJT study in my local newspaper. 

Just in:

News flash out of Japan on Ivermectin:

Anti-parasite drug Ivermectin shows an “antiviral effect” against omicron and other COVID variants according to research released by Japanese pharmaceutical giant Kowa … that doesn’t sound anecdotal.

You will also not read about this in your local paper.
