Yet another meta study.

I'm interested in this big, randomized clinical study, alas not yet concluded:

The NIH has also prioritized ivermectin for another big, randomized clinical study. This research takes time. People need to be a little patient and not jump to conclusions.

For now there are a mix of smaller studies, some of which show no benefit and others which show a significant benefit. Most of those studies had different treatment protocols so the results aren't directly comparable.

I'm not. The vaccines are effective.

It's not one or the other. Vaccines work great, but the prevention is not 100% effective.

It seems now doubtful, that we can achieve herd immunity, so we still need something to treat people for which the vaccine doesn't work.

I wouldn't hold my breath on ivermectin though either.
