[QUOTE="Fred's Myth, post: 4974790, member: 55587"] Except Ivermectin isn't being recommended as a stand-alone prophylactic, but rather, as part of a combination of drugs, to combat covid-19. "Meta-analysis of 15 trials found that ivermectin reduced risk of death compared with no ivermectin (average risk ratio 0.38, 95% confidence interval 0.19–0.73; n = 2438; I2 = 49%; moderate-certainty evidence). This result was confirmed in a trial sequential analysis using the same DerSimonian–Laird method that underpinned the unadjusted analysis.
