What medfags think about the possible use pf Ivermectin to cure covid-19 symptoms. Ivermectin was used in Africa against river blindness and it seems the death rates are much lower where the population was treated with it beforehand.

Needs larger trials. Right now remdesivir, steroids, and anticoagulants are the best treatment we have.

no chance. covid-19 is a political disease first and foremost (and that was already published in the most important medical journals. you can't DEBOONK me) and there is a group that supports cheaper drugs (such as picrel and HCQ); this group, unfortunately, isn't supported by the big pharma and academia

Increases viral clearance

Best combination is 50 mg zinc, 5k UI vitamin D3 daily, along with ivermectin

Vitamin C helps but you should take it every meal, at least 100 mg
