This could only have happened in the era of Twitter: when I posted my previous article on the ACTIV-6 trial on ivermectin, I came in contact with a participant from the ACTIV-6 trial. You heard that right. The contents of this article are coming… straight from the horse’s mouth.
Thank you Alexandros for your relentless sleuthing. For me, this is the article that reveals the smoking gun. Finally it all falls into place, finally the outcomes of this trial make perfect sense.
So given after 6 (11?) days, ivermectin for COVID19 seems about as effective as Tamiflu given within 48 hours for influenza. One drug is widely panned while the other is widely prescribed.
Very cool of the trial participant to share that information for some practical insight. It does seem that the medication was received after the illness was pretty much over and only recovery was required...
Thanks for your investigation. With Feb 20, the third day of symptoms, being the worst day, getting the meds over a week later seems pretty worthless. I get the sense the patient was better before starting meds.
Still we have talking heads claiming that the pandemic could only be ended with mass vaccination.
They completely ignore alternative treatments. What do we find? Highly vaxxed countries, where early treatments were criticized, have high mortality rates. Yet those that opted into the vaccines late, or not at all, such as the African countries, Utrar Pradesh, Bangladesh and Pakistan? have the lowest deaths per million in the world.
You can see what a difference medication timing makes in the course of the illness.
In the patient's case, the 3rd day he was aware he was sick, was the worst day as he was "Bed ridden with fever and body aches."
Contrast that to my own covid experience, as well as my relative's.
We both took ivermectin the day we felt sick. So while the 3rd day was the worst day for the trial patient, by the 3rd day, my relative and I were almost totally recovered as far as symptoms go. On the 4th day, we were basically asymptomatic. I also used the rapid antigen test for confirmation that it was indeed covid.
My relative and I used other supplements as well, as recommended by the FLCCC or other groups such as aspirin and famotidine. Those helped with the cough, but we both noticed an immediate improvement with each ivermectin dose per day.
Anyway, you can see how that trial was so poorly executed, when you have patients receiving their ivermectin on day 10. I was already at full strength by then, LOL.
MIT physics major, a plastic surgeon for 20 years, now a pediatric cardiac surgeon. former card counter, played pro golf for 15 years, was first on 17 major COVID calls, and "only" on four. I've been right on everything. As far as I can tell and have been told, I'm the only one.
WHERE CAN YOU GO WRONG? Besides, YOU are listed in my book.
We could have such higher quality trials if someone would intentionally infect patients with COVID, unethical as it may be. I would sign up for it, personally. Otherwise it's just unfeasible to get people into a trial within the most effective time period for many of these meds. IVM, HCQ, Paxlovid, Remdesivir, all benefit from being taken ASAP yet none of them have made much of a difference in fighting this pandemic.
Thank you! But A “placebo” is NOT another medication! A placebo has no known pharmacologic activity..whatsoever! When you call another medication a placebo you dont know what the Hell youre doing! Which is EXACTLY what this Entire Pandemic has shown! Our Multi Trillion Dollar Medical System could not handle a “common cold virus”!!!

Kudos! Awesome reporting about a "trial" designed and facilitated to fail.

Thank you Alexandros. Amazing work. Seems like you are now a journalist. One that follows evidence.
Another great investigation and report.

Thanks for laying all this out so clearly. Obviously designed to fail, or at least obscure the results!
Alexandros! Do a substack on me and my book: https://www.amazon.com/Heroes-Villains-COVID-19-Book-Lists/dp/B0BKHQ7CWN/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=

You're doing great work here. Someone has to keep these jokers honest...

Alex Berenson just tweeted a screenshot of this study as more evidence against IVM:
