Are you guys spying on me? I just saw this.
So I found a counter point to the pro ivermectin website I was sent. One can read it below. It seems a lot of the papers touting its benefits are fraught with problems.
I know Oxford is doing a more detailed, rigorous study, and it should show if there is a real link to helping people.
But at this point, Merck isn’t recommending people to use it - and if the maker of a drug isn’t pushing for off label use, that says something.
That said, I encourage medical research to find existing drugs that might ease symptoms, but do not self medicate, and do not self medicate with non-human medicine.
