Yes, thank you. I have seen that. There was some controversy over the study in Egypt so they re-did the meta analysis again censoring that study too.
I was referring to something from around 2012 or so. Way before covid. It was just a research paper by real scientists who were interested in the mechanisms of action of Ivermectin. It works for many different things and they wanted to know why (presumably they could parlay that knowledge into a new, improved, patented drug). It was a little over my head because it was detailed in various effects on cellular components I had never heard of. The bottom line was just that “wow this stuff is really good”.
Merck and J&J both have developmental stage drugs that are basically Ivermectin with some changing of molecular structure so they can patent it and charge $50 a pill for something that already works for 50 cents a pill.
