"According to the Epoch Times (subscription only):
In a meta-analysis of 63 studies of ivermectin versus COVID-19 in humans, 100% of these have shown positive results. Studies were from all continents except Antarctica. Considered individually, 29 of those studies were found to be statistically significant regarding use of ivermectin alone. Over the 63 studies in meta-analysis, pooled effects showed 69% improvement in early treatment, and prophylactic use showed 86% improvement. Of those studies in the meta-analysis that were peer-reviewed, overall improvement in early treatment was found to be 70% (64% in randomized controlled trials), and 86% of those in which ivermectin was used prophylactically showed improvement (84% in randomized controlled trials).
Mortality from COVID-19 over all time periods of delay in treatment was 76% improved over controls (69% in randomized controlled trials), whereas mortality was improved 84% in early treatment of COVID-19 (82% in randomized controlled trials). Forty studies were excluded from the meta-analysis for complicating factors or insufficient detail reported, and these also showed 100% positive results.
Instapundit's Stephen Green has more of the passage from the piece here, along with a typical headline yawping about "horse paste" from the establishment.
The stuff works, but all the powers that be went all in by saying it didn't. They demonized doctors who knew firsthand of its effectiveness. They ignored the success of the animal-herding third world countries familiar with the med which employed its use for COVID (many in Africa, as well as India and Peru) and either killed their COVID problem dead (ask India about it) or else stayed COVID-free. Perhaps China, now in the throes of another COVID wave, might sit up and pay attention, but that's dubious to expect they will. They are tyrants, after all."
