It recently passed rigorous peer-review and was published this week, Dr. Pierre Kory<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PierreKory\/status\/1483551287522344962?s=20\">\u00a0noted<\/a>\u00a0on Twitter.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Background: Ivermectin has demonstrated different mechanisms of action that potentially protect from both coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection and COVID-19-related comorbidities. Based on the studies suggesting efficacy in prophylaxis combined with the known safety profile of ivermectin, a citywide prevention program using ivermectin for COVID-19 was implemented in Itaja\u00ed, a southern city in Brazil in the state of Santa Catarina. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of regular ivermectin use on subsequent COVID-19 infection and mortality rates.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Researchers invited the entire population of Itaja\u00ed to enroll in the program and compiled baseline, personal, demographic, and medical information on participants.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In the absence of contraindications, ivermectin was offered as an optional treatment to be taken for two consecutive days every 15 days at a dose of 0.2 mg\/kg\/day. In cases where a participating citizen of Itaja\u00ed became ill with COVID-19, they were recommended not to use ivermectin or any other medication in early outpatient treatment. Clinical outcomes of infection, hospitalization, and death were automatically reported and entered into the registry in real time. Study analysis consisted of comparing ivermectin users with non-users using cohorts of infected patients propensity score-matched by age, sex, and comorbidities. COVID-19 infection and mortality rates were analyzed with and without the use of propensity score matching (PSM).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The results showed a 6.6 percent infection rate for non-users of ivermectin, and a 3.7 percent infection rate for regular users of the drug, a 44 percent reduction in the COVID-19 infection rate.<\/p>\n<p>There was also a 56 percent reduction in the hospitalization rate for ivermectin users (44 versus 99 hospitalizations).<\/p>\n<p>The most striking result was the difference in the mortality rate. Of the subjects who were infected, those who regularly used ivermectin had a 70 percent reduction in COVID-19 mortality.<\/p>\n<p>The study is just one of dozens that shows ivermectin is an effective treatment for COVID. Dr. Kory, one of the drugs biggest advocates expressed frustration with the medical establishment\u2019s refusal to approve early treatments for people suffering with COVID.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople are dying because they\u2019re being deprived of highly effective, cheap, widely available drugs that do not present as obscene profits to the pharmaceutical companies,\u201d Kory said on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/video.foxnews.com\/v\/6290779450001?playlist_id=3386055101001#sp=show-clips\">Fox News<\/a>\u00a0earlier this month.<\/p>\n<p>The corporate media meanwhile still refuses to challenge the medical establishment\u2019s false narrative on early treatments, even when proven wrong by studies like this one. \u201cCrickets from across the world\u2019s major media.
