Conclusions:

Meta-analyses based on 18 randomized controlled treatment trials of ivermectin in COVID-19 have found large, statistically significant reductions in mortality, time to clinical recovery, and time to viral clearance. Furthermore, results from numerous controlled prophylaxis trials report significantly reduced risks of contracting COVID-19 with the regular use of ivermectin. Finally, the many examples of ivermectin distribution campaigns leading to rapid population-wide decreases in morbidity and mortality indicate that an oral agent effective in all phases of COVID-19 has been identified.

FDA: Why You Should Not Use Ivermectin to Treat or Prevent COVID-19

Here’s What You Need to Know about Ivermectin:

FDA has not approved ivermectin for use in treating or preventing COVID-19 in humans. Ivermectin tablets are approved at very specific doses for some parasitic worms, and there are topical (on the skin) formulations for head lice and skin conditions like rosacea. Ivermectin is not an anti-viral (a drug for treating viruses).

Taking large doses of this drug is dangerous and can cause serious harm.

If you have a prescription for ivermectin for an FDA-approved use, get it from a legitimate source and take it exactly as prescribed.

Never use medications intended for animals on yourself. Ivermectin preparations for animals are very different from those approved for humans.

" In response to the "adjusted curfew hours", Commissioner Griffith says only critical essential workers either on their way to or on their way back from work will be allowed on the roads during this period of 10 am on the public holiday to 5am the following day. Such workers include (though are not necessarily limited to) the media, private security officers, healthcare workers, sea and airport workers, and energy sector workers. The CoP says that these persons must possess their work ID cards.

The Commissioner recognizes that there will be those essential workers going to or returning from shift duty without curfew permits. In those circumstances, the employee simply needs to produce the company identification card and explain to the officer where he or she is going to or coming from. Employers are also encouraged to provide letters, if possible, to these employees. These letters will be acceptable, even if electronic.

Should provision of this additional support document not be possible for Monday, the Commissioner has asked police officers to exercise their discretion and as far as possible to ensure essential workers are allowed to go to and return from work. "

The WHO response is also measured, but not absolute; trails hopefully will continue until there's something definitive.

From the manufacturer of ivermectin:

Merck Statement on Ivermectin use During the COVID-19 Pandemic

February 4, 2021 11:45 am ET

KENILWORTH, N.J., Feb. 4, 2021 – Merck (NYSE: MRK), known as MSD outside the United States and Canada, today affirmed its position regarding use of ivermectin during the COVID-19 pandemic. Company scientists continue to carefully examine the findings of all available and emerging studies of ivermectin for the treatment of COVID-19 for evidence of efficacy and safety. It is important to note that, to-date, our analysis has identified:

No scientific basis for a potential therapeutic effect against COVID-19 from pre-clinical studies;

No meaningful evidence for clinical activity or clinical efficacy in patients with COVID-19 disease, and;

A concerning lack of safety data in the majority of studies.

We do not believe that the data available support the safety and efficacy of ivermectin beyond the doses and populations indicated in the regulatory agency-approved prescribing information.

Which one? The one that makes the drug (Merck) says that studies were not safe.

Merck issued that statement in February.

Merck issued a statement that they were discontinuing the development of Covid-19 vaccines in January, a month before.

So, the $50B pharmaceutical company stops making Covid vaccines and then warns that the drug that they manufacture hasn't been properly studied to treat Covid and looks like it won't work to treat Covid.

Just wanted to get that bullish!t straight because it still doesn't make any sense at all.

CMO feeling embarrassed that Davlin tried to twist the numbers to make himself look good.
Who in their right mind would try to twist a mortality rate to vindicate themself from replacing senior doctors. He clearly showed his true colors and should resign now more than ever.

Davlin wrong and strong with it to. He thought Deyalsingh and CMO would bat for him but they throw him under the bus and saved themselves. Based on this new revelation he should just call it a day and resign.

[daxt0r]

Which drug used for decades?

ivermectin - what other drug we talking about?

he mean a drug used since ever for what ever treatment. not specifically for covid use.

the same principle the WHO allowed the vaccines to get used as 'emergency', should be the same reason the hospitals should allow the UNCONFIRMED drugs to treat the covid, at least in conditions where they dont have any improvement.
if u cant get them better, step aside, sign up the disclaimers and let someone else take a crack at it.

It happens - often. The WHO, EMA and FDA follow similar protocols. It happened in the United States with hydroxychloroquine. And then hydroxychloroquine was found to offer no overwhelming benefits.

------

Is there a minimum requirement for the FDA to consider issuing an EUA?

Yes. One of the minimum requirements is that the known and potential benefits outweigh the known potential risks. 

That is the minimum requirement. It is not the standard for an authorization. You can have that requirement met and still not give the authorization. You still need a good reason to do the authorization—such as that the product meets reasonable thresholds for safety and effectiveness and people are in urgent need of care.

What are some other well-known treatments or tests that have received EUA? Has there ever been something that turned out to be harmful?

FDA issued an EUA for hydroxychloroquine during the COVID-19 crisis. There wasn’t much information to support its use at the time. Later, when it became clear that this treatment posed a risk but did not offer benefit, FDA retracted the EUA.
