Decades ago Merck developed ivermectin to treat River blindness [onchocerciasis], a parasitic disease that is endemic in certain parts of Africa. One dose every 6 to 12 months prevents blindness that is the dreaded outcome of this disease.
Ivermectin has NO activity against viral diseases including sars covid 2!!!!
I refer anyone who is interested to the blog: this week in virology [TWIV]. Four virologists discuss interesting topics about viruses. In addition Dan Griffin M.D. P.H.D. [infectious disease specialist in NY] gives a weekly update on sarscovid 2 which he has been doing since the start of the pandemic. All of his discussions have been archived and are readily available.
As Dan has said many times, the way out of this pandemic is with MASKS & IMMUNIZATIONS!!!!
