The calls of medical professionals for Ivermectin to be used for the prevention and treatment of Covid-19 have reached desperate levels. An article<\/a> by Professor Colleen Aldous<\/a>, published on BizNews.com this week, argued that the<\/i> placement of our trust in a small group of experts who advocate against Ivermectin<\/a> is being done at the potential cost of human life. Considering the devastation that South Africa has endured due to Covid-19 and the resultant lockdown regulations \u2013 it seems absurd not to explore all and any viable alternatives to Covid-19 vaccination in order to best manage the pandemic\u2019s merciless grip. This article, written by <\/i>eleven doctors and professors to the Department of Health, urges the Department to facilitate the use of Ivermectin in the public health sector. The article was delivered to President Cyril Ramaphosa\u2019s house by Jeremy Gordon who believes that we could end the crisis of the pandemic with the use of Ivermectin as they have in Zimbabwe. \u2013 Nadya Swart<\/i><\/p>\n

Ivermectin studies and statistics<\/h2>\n

Twenty countries are using Ivermectin to treat Covid-19. They include Mexico, Guatemala, Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Portugal, Nigeria, and Egypt.\u00a0In South Africa doctors are allowed to prescribe Ivermectin, but it is not being rolled out everywhere and in hospitals and clinics.<\/p>\n

According to Jackie Stone, a doctor in Zimbabwe<\/a>, since January \u2013 when Ivermectin began to be used \u2013 it has cut COVID hospital admissions and deaths over 70%.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe death rate rose sharply in January and peaked on the 25th\u00a0at 70 deaths per day. Official authorisation for the use of Ivermectin was granted on 26th\u00a0January. Just one month later, on 26th\u00a0February, the COVID death rate had fallen to zero\u201d.<\/p>\n

A meta-analysis gold standard review of 24 randomised trials conducted in 15 countries among more than 3400 people worldwide of clinical trials \u2013 just released by the BIRD group<\/a> in the UK\u00a0\u2013 showed that deaths are dramatically reduced when Ivermectin is administered. Published in the American Journal of Therapeutics the most rigorous statistical standards were applied by world-leading biostatistician, Mr Andrew Bryant, and medical doctor and researcher Dr Tess Lawrie. The results concluded that Ivermectin has an over 70% success in preventing deaths in hospitalised patients.<\/p>\n

Mexico City authorities created a home-treatment-kit, including Ivermectin, for its 22 million-strong population in December 2020 and cut hospitalisations by over 70%.<\/p>\n

Those Indian states that adopted Ivermectin policies saw their cases fall far more than 80%; Uttar Pradesh \u2013 down 98% [37,944 to 596], Uttarakhand \u2013 down 97% [9642 to 287] and Goa \u2013 down 90% [4195 to 423]. Delhi saw a 99% drop [28,395 to 238].<\/p>\n

The bottom line is that Ivermectin works, and it works extraordinarily well. You do not need to be a scientist to understand these numbers, as they are self-evident.<\/p>\n

If South Africa had a policy of testing and treating \u2013 as does Mexico City, which has emptied its hospitals since they implemented it, does \u2013 and of using Ivermectin for prevention for health workers and those not vaccinated \u2013 we could end the effects of the pandemic here.<\/p>\n

Besides cutting hospitalisations and deaths Ivermectin can also be used as a preventative.\u00a0In Argentina, 788 health workers took Ivermectin weekly and 407 did not. After ten weeks, 58% of those not taking Ivermectin had become sick \u2013 but not one of those who took it\u00a0became sick.<\/p>\n

The use of Ivermectin has been restricted because the WHO says that further clinical trials are needed before they can recommend it. When asked about this, Dr Stone replied, \u201cI find it very hard to understand how they can say that there is not sufficient evidence. There are three thousand patients plus in, I think, twenty-four trials where they demonstrate an over 75% reduction in mortality. Those figures fit exactly with what we have seen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr Tess Lawrie, one of the meta-analysis authors, in an interview with Dr. Mobeen speculated that the WHO and other regulatory agencies \u2013 which up to recently have had good reputations \u2013 may have been influenced by the lobbying of the pharmaceutical industry which is one of their chief sources of funding and which offers employment opportunities to the personnel who work in these agencies. The Emergency Use Authorisation of vaccines in the US and EU required that there was no alternative treatment available. If Ivermectin had been approved it would have been a problem to authorise the vaccines without proper trials.<\/p>\n
