Anecdotal accounts mean nothing because covid is not a death sentence unless there are predispositions, age or underlying health issues.
Once again;
''The Therapeutic Goods Administration‘s (TGA) recent announcement has sparked a flurry of misinformation regarding the antiparasitic medicine ivermectin.
Ivermectin had been spruiked as a treatment for COVID earlier in the pandemic – despite a lack of reliable evidence showing it has any positive effect.
This led the TGA to limit its distribution and use in September 2021.
Earlier this month the regulator lifted those restrictions, leading various vaccine sceptics to claim the TGA had finally caved in and accepted that ivermectin was a safe and effective COVID treatment.
But the claims are false. The TGA hasn’t changed its stance on using ivermectin to treat COVID. Rather, the restrictions were lifted as the agency was satisfied health professionals now have adequate evidence to inform them the drug has no positive benefit in tackling the virus.
The regulator said there was an “overwhelming weight of evidence against the use of ivermectin” with large clinical studies showing no benefit in treating COVID (p16). It said questions also remained regarding its safety in treating COVID.
Therefore, the TGA said medical professionals were “well informed of the risks” and the “volume of published studies” enabled them to “exercise sound judgement” when considering its use.''
