An anti-parasitic head lice drug available around the world has been found to kill COVID-19 in the lab within 48 hours.
A Monash University-led study has shown a single dose of the drug Ivermectin could stop the SARS-CoV-2 virus growing in cell culture.
'We found that even a single dose could essentially remove all viral RNA (effectively removed all genetic material of the virus) by 48 hours and that even at 24 hours there was a really significant reduction in it,' Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute's Dr Kylie Wagstaff said on Friday.
While it's not known how Ivermectin works on the virus, the drug likely stops the virus dampening the host cells' ability to clear it.
The next step is for scientists to determine the correct human dosage, to make sure the level used in vitro is safe for humans.
**SNIP**
Ivermectin is an FDA-approved anti-parasitic drug also shown to be effective in vitro against viruses including HIV, dengue and influenza.

Do you drink it or sniff it?
Lucky me. Not only will it cure COVID-19, it will get rid of my head lice.
The Daily Mail??? Where are the alienbscientists in Area 51 who designed this?
We should be thankful that science has come so far since the Spanish flu.
I know our enemies HATE that this won’t ruin us.
Betting against America is just about the WORST bet a person can make.
We will be fine.
When you’re going through hell, just keep going.
Soros and Gates will have to re=think their plans now.
It’s a long trip from cell-culture to humans - even a streamlined one.
$40 treatment if true
Great news! Fauci will let us use it in about 5 years.
Ivermectin kills everything or seems to. I give it to my dogs for heartworm prevention.
“We won’t know if it works until we do multiple blind studies in which horribly ill people are allowed to suffer and die without proper treatment are allowed to suffer and die a few billion in grant money is thrown around.
Fauci has magnanimously agreed to do a study. Should be done in about three years.
How about body lice?
On another note it says the Lice drug kills corona virus in 48 hours. I read many places the virus dies on it’s own in 48 hours outside of a living host.
Using the 48 hour period, heck cow urine should kill the virus.
does it treat itchy teeth and hemorrhoids too?
Do you dump it on your head and rub it in?
It’s very cheap too. Someone’s not going to be happy about this.
Great, another medication that can eliminate the virus in vitro. After long trials it should be ready by 2022. Probably months after the pandemic subsides
What good will this “breakthrough” do if Fauci won’t let anybody use it?
Dr Fauxi will delay it to make his exaggerated Bill Gates models look better
