Re: Covid-19: Ivermectin’s politicisation is a warning sign for doctors turning to orphan treatments
Dear Editor
There is no reference in Bibi Aisha-Wadvalla’s article to the British Ivermectin Recommendation Development Panel headed by Dr Tess Lawrie in Bath, and its metaanalysis of the human trials, as well as its response to the EMA assessment of the drug.
Or to its approval under varying conditions for covid by the governments of Belize, Honduras, Colombia, Panama, Czechia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Macedonia, South Africa, and the Indian states of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Odisha, Goa, Uttarakhand and Punjab.
Of the more populous states, UP and Bihar have the best per capita figures in India.
There is the study of the nine Peruvian states that adopted it, and there are two studies now showing that African countries who mass use it for parasites are also doing better with covid.
