Ivermectin for COVID-19
4th treatment shown to reduce risk in
August 2020, now with p < 0.0000000001 from 106 studies, recognized in 24 countries.
No treatment is 100% effective.
Protocols combine treatments.
Detailed review of Uttar Pradesh's use of ivermectin, the dramatically better results compared to states declining ivermectin, and the censorship of ivermectin use. If Uttar Pradesh was a country, it would be the 6th largest in the world.
