>>13377247Ivermectin is safe drug that has been known for decades, used thoroughly and its effects well documented.
As a treatment, it is by definition safer since only given to those who need it, who are already sick and doesn't put at risk other healthy individuals.
In terms of safety, it is safer than any of the vaccines who have undergone a short safety assessment and would have to be administered to healthy individuals with some known side effects and others to be discovered in the short and long term.
Multiple independent RCT trials have been conducted involving more than 2 282 patients. Almost all show indecently efficacy on different categories of populations with great significance. There may be a 75% reduction in mortality with a confidence interval of 95% (*1-*2). Sample sizes of these trials taken together largely exceed those used for any of the validated vaccines whom all had efficacy samples below 1 000 and most had even lower efficacy samples. Many such trials for Ivermectin were independent and free of conflicts of interests.
In addition to RCT results, multiple observations in slaughter houses, nursing homes and doctors' experience have led many doctors to largely use it in multiple countries and their experience seems to confirm trial results mentioned.
The fact that independent researchers confirm a same trend provides even stronger evidence. Treating successfully sick people is safer than injecting healthy individuals with products that are yet to be understood on the short and long term.
