Ivermectin for COVID-19
4th treatment shown to reduce risk in
August 2020, now with p < 0.00000000001 from 106 studies, recognized in 24 countries.
No treatment is 100% effective. Protocols

Meta analysis of ivermectin trials showing community use of ivermectin in Latin America associated with lower observed efficacy in trials, consistent with the side effect profiles, Google Trends analysis, and investigator statements.
Author uses the same trials as1, finding a much stronger association than with strongyloides (which does not match the extended data set2 or expectations for the effect of strongyloides on the trial results3).
7 meta analyses show significant improvements with ivermectin for mortality4-9,
hospitalization10,
recovery6, and
cases6.
Currently there are 106 ivermectin for COVID-19 studies, showing 47% lower mortality [34‑58%], 35% lower ventilation [17‑50%], 40% lower ICU admission [12‑58%], 34% lower hospitalization [21‑44%], and 79% fewer cases [69‑86%].
