Sorry, the Indian Express article concerns events from May to August 2020; I don’t know where I got March from, but that was still pre-Delta and the big waves. The article itself is from May this year. On the other hand, it’s interesting that the article actually has a photo’ of the tablets’ bubble-pack complete with brand logos; companies often pay for such “advertising equivalent” content, in fact the companies often compile such articles themselves and submit them to overworked journalists with deadlines to meet.
Furthermore, J’s argument seems to be to use ivermectin (and doxycycline?!) instead of vaccination, yet the ivmmeta.com meta analysis (flagged as dodgy in the BMJ) says, fourth bullet point, in bold:
– While many treatments have some level of efficacy, they do not replace vaccines and other measures to avoid infection. Only 25% of ivermectin studies show zero events in the treatment arm.
…’events’ being hospitalisation, ventilation, ICU and death, so ivermectin can’t be a miracle cure.
Still, we already know not to expect J to actually read articles before linking to them.
