Hi folks here is a long awaited paper:
ivermectin study
brazil
“Conclusion: In this large PSM study, regular use of ivermectin as a prophylactic agent was associated with significantly reduced COVID-19 infection, hospitalization, and mortality rates.”
…. we were told early in 2020 that there were no risks and only good prospects from the correct use of this drug, how many have died due to the propaganda of Pharma, Politicians and the MSM!!!
cheers
Thanks CJ. Says 70% reduction in mortality.
"Results: Of the 223,128 citizens of Itajaí considered for the study, a total of 159,561 subjects were included in the analysis:
113,845 (71.3%) regular ivermectin users and 45,716 (23.3%) non-users.
Of these, 4,311 ivermectin users were infected, among which 4,197 were from the city of Itajaí (3.7% infection rate), and 3,034 non-users (from Itajaí) were infected (6.6% infection rate), with a 44% reduction in COVID-19 infection rate (risk ratio [RR], 0.56; 95% confidence interval (95% CI), 0.53-0.58; p < 0.0001). Using PSM, two cohorts of 3,034 subjects suffering from COVID-19 infection were compared. The regular use of ivermectin led to a 68% reduction in COVID-19 mortality (25 [0.8%] versus 79 [2.6%] among ivermectin non-users; RR, 0.32; 95% CI, 0.20-0.49; p < 0.0001).
When adjusted for residual variables, reduction in mortality rate was 70% (RR, 0.30; 95% CI, 0.19-0.46; p < 0.0001). There was a 56% reduction in hospitalization rate (44 versus 99 hospitalizations among ivermectin users and non-users, respectively; RR, 0.44; 95% CI, 0.31-0.63; p < 0.0001). After adjustment for residual variables, reduction in hospitalization rate was 67% (RR, 0.33; 95% CI, 023-0.66; p < 0.0001).
Conclusion: In this large PSM study, regular use of ivermectin as a prophylactic agent was associated with significantly reduced COVID-19 infection, hospitalization, and mortality rates."
4,197 ivermectin infected were from the city of Itajaí, 4197/113845 = 3.7% infection rate.
3,034 non-ivermectin infected, 3034/45716=6.6%
Deaths were 25 and 79 respectively.
I’m not sure why they do 25/4197 and 79/4197 for the death rates (which they then adjust); this is the risk having caught covid.
The risk of death in the population was 25/113845=0.02% vs 79/45716=0.17%, an 87% decrease. Isn’t that the way they count the vaccine efficacy?
I’m probably missing something! Good news, anyway.
Agree about the grim implications though.
Cheers
