Ivermectin is an antiparasitic drug that some have claimed is an effective treatment for reducing Covid-19 deaths. Like other potential cheap treatments for Covid-19, the pharma companies producing the vaccine - and their many well-funded supporters - have been determined to discredit Ivermectin.
This meta-analysis study in which Tess Lawrie was a co-author showed good evidence of effectiveness, but another study looking at the same data came to a different conclusion. So we did a different type of meta-analysis using Bayesian analysis on the data. We found that the data did indeed provide support for the effectivness of Ivermectin, even when some potentially flawed studies were excluded. Our full report is here and here is a shorter version published as a letter in the American Journal of Therapeutics.
Another favourable analysis of Ivermectin studies was done by Dr Andrew Hill of University of Liverpool, but he subsequently did a surprising U-turn.
Now a remarkable transcript of a recorded conversation between Tess Lawrie and Andrew Hill has been published which sheds light on Hill's U-turn. The details are shocking, but not totally surprising.
UPDATES (7 March 2022):
- This powerful video shows the actual zoom meeting betwee Lawrie and Hill: https://www.oraclefilms.com/alettertoandrewhill
- Phil Harper has done some excellent investigative work_ on who the mystery 'editors' of Andrew Hill's paper were. One appears to be the Professor who obtained the $40million Unitaid grant just days before the paper's conclusions were edited._
- Many further studies demonstrating the benefits of invermectin in treating covid have been published including this one which shows it is far more effective than remdesiver in reducing mortality
UPDATE (12 March 2022): The claims of a twitter blue checkmark to discredit Tess Lawrie's story are easily debunked.
And now compare what was said in that recorded conversation with Hill's claims of victimhood here. Note how Hill also makes the ludicrous claim that it is scientists who are positive about the vaccines and who discredit alternative treatments who are the ones getting marginalised and abused.
And, as an interesting footnote to the story, here is my interaction with a typical blue-tick medical doctor after I tweeted about this today. Never heard of this guy before but note his rudeness, arrogance and ignorance.
Thanks for your work! It is greatly appreciated and great to have you on Hive. Please know that even if you don't experience immediate feedback on Hive like you do on other social media platforms, often links and articles are shared around various spaces on the interwebs - this means that the true amount of activity on your article is often not reflected in the amount of upvotes and the dollar value.
It does however provide a censorship resistant platform regardless of perceived activity.
We are also suffering censorship wars on this platform in which large stake holders are downvoting truther posts.
This makes it difficult at times but due to the nature of a blockchain at least your articles will never completely disappear regardless of how much they may be downvoted by trolls.
I suggest when making a post that you also click on 'also post in blog' at the top of the post creation page when you are posting it in a community.
I also suggest you post in another community - some other possibilities may include -

Good to see you here! Pfizer and other pharm companies have a history of lying, hiding issues with their products and smashing the competition.
It is a sad state of affairs and it has been that for ever.
Money is always the bottom line not a person's health.

My children and I appreciate your efforts in tackling this pernicious narrative.
Thankyou for being here.
i just arrived in india.. i was talking to a friend about this.. She tells me the the local hospital here have been prescribing ivermectin for some time now in the local hospital.. along with some Ayurvedic herbs.. im reliably informed that the hospital is now empty and there are no further cases .. apparently, here at least, it works.. this is a renowned hospital with high reputation and incredible doctors who work not for profit with no salary!

Good to have you on Hive Norman.
I have been in contact with positive infected people on many occasions ... (Early in the plandemic we worked in a laundry cleaning covid bedding for hospitals) ... last week my stepson got covid and I had spent an hour in a closed car with him sneezing and coughing ... no masks. I am the only unvaccinated person in my family and only my wife and I have not fallen ill. Last week 5 members all fully vaccinated had Omicron... one of those being my stepson ... highly contagious ... but it did not touch me. For the record I am in my 60's
Early last year I took an initial dose of Ivermectin 30mg's as I weigh 86kg's...followed by a second dose 72 hours later ... I now take a 12mg maintenance dose once a month.
EDIT: It is great to see you on Hive ... please stick around and invite others who can use their brain for themselves to join.
