Did they include any of the cancer in vivo and in vitro testing as part of general repurposing of drug treatments for cancer in their reporting? Looks like it might be a good cancer treatment. Was there an analysis on ionophore effects in general and why these drugs might be useful and repurposed. Why do all that work cuz Ivermectine is just japanese dirt.

The largest trial I had seen on ivermectin involved 167,000+ people in Brazil. The overwhelmingly positive results were released in January.

How many were in this study?

Look for more and more of these type of Articles since Ivermectin was starting to get some traction and covid is starting to make a return in Europe.

No information. Just commentary. I want to see the numbers.

Except in for all the studies that it did.

So why did they the Queen Stromectol? It’s triple dose Ivermectin under a different name.

The study doesn’t seem to include zinc as part of the treatment, so it’s completely illegitimate and meaningless.

Zinc is what does the magic, while ivermectin is what helps deliver that magic where it needs to go.

Worthless study, meant to fail.

I have never seen such a bunch of people who just have to be sooooo right at any cost and that includes you.

Look. It didn’t work. That’s what this and many other studies have said. If it did they would have been using it like crazy.

I don’t know what’s worse. The guy in Tennessee saying urine is the way to beat Covid or this drug.

In my opinion there is room for either side to sink some teeth into. But as I have previously pointed out these are the kinds of results one gets when there is not a compelling conclusion in either direction

“””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””

Please spare us one more of your milquetoast replies designed to keep big pharma’s gravy train intact. I’d love to be a fly on the water cooler listening to a bunch of doctors like yourself trying to beat around the bush talking about covid and Ivermectin while not being willing to breach the company line.

I have read that several people in the ICU on ventilators with hours to live have been brought back witheither smuggled Ivermectin or judge ordered stuff. At least one hospital defied a court order and thus killed the patient.

Ivermectin by itself does nothing. If this study wanted to show that, then it showed it.

Proper covid treatments include zinc, not just ivermectin. That's how it's done around the world, with zinc, not just ivermectin alone (see image below, for example). And it's given when the patient first gets sick, not when they're on a respirator.

This study was designed to fail.

Here is a statement from FLCCC concerning the study:
FLCCC Responds to Wall Street Journal Article on Results of TOGETHER TRIAL
On March 18, 2022, The Wall Street Journal published an article entitled: ‘Ivermectin Didn’t Reduce Covid-19 Hospitalizations in Largest Trial to Date’.
The results of this trial, which was predetermined to show ivermectin as ineffective, affirms the need for early treatment against COVID-19 and confirms that conflicted groups continue to influence competitor trials, ensuring they are designed to fail. Several organizations associated with the trial have a paid client relationship with Pfizer, which has secured Federal government contracts worth $5.3 billion for its antiviral treatment, Paxlovid. A full list of trial sponsors and associates can be found here.
It is therefore no surprise that the trial was designed to fail. In the medical community, it is common knowledge that COVID-19 becomes far more difficult to treat the longer a patient has had symptoms. Treating early is imperative. Yet the TOGETHER trial studied patients where they started treatment up to eight days after the onset of symptoms.
Furthermore, no qualified physician or scientist recommends treating COVID-19 with the low dosage of ivermectin used in the trial, nor treating a patient with ivermectin for only three days on an empty stomach, as TOGETHER did. FLCCC physicians have understood for nearly 18 months that ivermectin works best against COVID-19 when administered with a fatty meal and until symptoms resolve.
Our frontline physicians – who were treating COVID-19 with corticosteroids months before the NIH recommended them – have found ivermectin is most effective as part of a treatment protocol that includes other FDA-approved medications and supplements backed by clinical and observational evidence. The use of our I-MASK+, MATH+ and I-RECOVER protocols have all been proven to be effective at corresponding stages of the illness.
Trials of generic medicines that are funded and influenced by profit-driven pharmaceutical companies will always fail. We need to create an independent, well-funded government body dedicated to conducting well-designed trials and transparent research studies of repurposed generic treatments – not only for COVID-19, but for all diseases that may have safe and affordable remedies. The use of independent research is our only hope of understanding how these medicines can best be used to help patients.

It is. I read some of it. Limited to those with high-risk comorbidities.

Honestly, at least try and if it doesn’t work then drop back and punt, try something else.

The best you can do is try and leave the results to God, cause if He decides it’s your time, there’s NOTHING we can do to stop it. And if it’s not your time, then you’ll weather it. Learned that one the hard way.

There are lots of ways to design it to fail. Yours is one.

Also, given without zinc, at the wrong dosage, and the wrong time during the illness.

It’s not an anti-inflammatory nor is it reputed to repair organ damage or failure. They need to use it for what it’s meant for.
