@Freightdog The graph comes from a recent Oxford university study by scientists conducted in partnership with the Office of National Statistics (ONS) and the Department for Health and Social Care (DHSC). NB The paper’s authors were not involved in the creation of the AstraZeneca vaccine, which originated at Oxford university.

Demand Surges for Deworming Drug for Covid, Despite Scant Evidence It Works
Prescriptions for ivermectin have jumped to more than 88,000 per week, some pharmacists are reporting shortages and people are overdosing on forms of the drug meant for horses.
Scientists have warned against taking ivermectin, an anti-parasite drug, as a treatment for Covid-19.

(excerpt)
One of the largest trials studying ivermectin for Covid-19 treatment, called the Together Trial, was halted by the data safety monitoring board on Aug. 6 because the drug had been shown to be no better than a placebo at preventing hospitalization or prolonged stay in the emergency room. Dr. Edward Mills, a professor at McMaster University who led the study, which enrolled more than 1,300 patients, said the team would have discontinued it earlier were it not for the level of public interest in ivermectin.
“The data safety person said, ‘This is now futile and you’re offering no benefit to patients involved in the trial,’” Dr. Mills said.
Another study of the drug found that ivermectin could be fairly benign unless taken at high doses. Dr. Eduardo López-Medina, a researcher at the Center for Pediatric Infectious Diseases in Colombia, led a randomized control trial for the study last spring on the effects of ivermectin and found that it had no statistically significant effect on reducing the duration of Covid symptoms. But he also found that there was no statistically significant increase in adverse events for the patients receiving ivermectin, though they were taking a fairly high dose of 300 micrograms per kilogram.
“It appears to be a safe medication, but that is not enough to prescribe it openly,” Dr. López-Medina said. “People should use it in trials but not necessarily to treat patients. The data is not robust enough to support its use.”
Researchers and physicians are particularly alarmed by people seeking out ivermectin as a form of possible prevention or treatment instead of getting one of the highly effective Covid vaccines. The F.D.A. fully approved the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid vaccine for people 16 and older last week, and an approval of Moderna’s vaccine is expected in the coming weeks.
“The only functional strategy we have for getting control of Covid-19 is vaccination,” said Dr. Irwin Redlener, a physician in New York and founding director of the National Center for Disaster Preparedness at Columbia University. “If people are not getting vaccinated because of nonsense they’re reading on the internet, that interferes with our ability to get this pandemic under control.”

Re: Covid-19 VACCINE News
Well it's a bit strange that official studies have been abandoned because the results were so bad they didn't want to put the participants at further risk by continuing to use a drug that didn't work.orussey98 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 31, 2021 2:54 pmIt was enough for the japanese medical Chairman Haruo Ozaki to encourage medical practitioner to use it.timmydownawell wrote: ↑Tue Aug 31, 2021 1:17 pmHas this been this peer reviewed?orussey98 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 31, 2021 10:39 am African countries with lots of horses vs countries without horses

Re: Covid-19 VACCINE News
I know severals people (positive with symptoms= sick) who took it and got better. But doesn't make it a clinical study.timmydownawell wrote: ↑Tue Aug 31, 2021 3:04 pmWell it's a bit strange that official studies have been abandoned because the results were so bad they didn't want to put the participants at further risk by continuing to use a drug that didn't work.orussey98 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 31, 2021 2:54 pmIt was enough for the japanese medical Chairman Haruo Ozaki to encourage medical practitioner to use it.timmydownawell wrote: ↑Tue Aug 31, 2021 1:17 pmHas this been this peer reviewed?orussey98 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 31, 2021 10:39 am African countries with lots of horses vs countries without horses

Did you read the link?
It gives some explanation on why Haruo Ozaki took the decision to encourage the MP to use it against Covid19.
Edit: Ivermectin is less toxic than paracetamol

Re: Covid-19 VACCINE News
It is possible to make Covid antibody test after vaccination anywhere in Phnom Penh?
