I've done my own "literature review" [ https://www.notion.so/The-Cure-for-COVID-19-e052c9d829d34bc4... ], and "Inconclusive" is correct. It's astonishing that after 18 months of COVID and 12 months of rumors this type of question is unanswered.

So we have one band of Twitterati saying it is the "Crime of the Century" that Ivermectin is not being used, and another band saying you'd have to be an idiot to take horse pills, and neither group cares what the scientific research actually is.

Hopefully the Oxford study will finally give some conclusive data.

The Oxford study is using patients so far down the viral infection it has most certainly been designed to fail. All the evidence suggests ivermectin works best when used early, and Oxford plan to use it on late stage patients.

Funny that - given that Oxford are being funded by the pharma companies to make the vaccine and novel therapies.

Never bite the hand that feeds you and all. I don't know why we are expected to wait for a study from Oxford when it has already been written off by the actual doctors saving lives because of strange doses and late stage patients.

There are already 50+ studies. Nation states are already using ivermectin.

You are commenting on a thread about a Cochrane meta-review of the available studies that concludes that there is no conclusive evidence that ivermectin works. They know about the studies; that's the point. They don't show what you want them to.

Whatever the results of the Oxford study, the goalposts will be moved to fit the conspiracy theories. Especially since Oxford is involved in one of the vaccines...
