We need to be careful when we argue with official positions based on media reports. Here are NIH covid guidelines, they are pretty level-headed:
There is insufficient evidence .. to recommend either for or against the use of ivermectin .. Some clinical studies showed no benefits or worsening.. whereas others reported shorter time to resolution.. greater reduction in inflammatory marker levels, shorter time to viral clearance, or lower mortality rates.
There is insufficient evidence ..to recommend either for or against the use of colchicine
etc …
Also, what do you guys think about new drugs from Merck and especially Pfizer? Seem pretty useful for remaining vaccine holdouts. Not sure why it again takes weeks and weeks to allow full use.
