you should educate yourself on the very basic concepts of analyzing data before you talk about analyzing data.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show QuoteYou may have missed the post:
You can deduce from that post that evidence suggests vaccines are effective at reducing severe illness when infected with a covid variant. Nowhere has drug superiority been implied.
In what manner would you like to discuss vaccines vs ivermectin? It's likely that a multi-pronged approach will be the most effective solution to ending the pandemic.
Safety data for Ivermectin is storied (4bil+ doses spanning decades, tolerated well even at high doses) and well understood, which combined with frontline experience demonstrating high levels of efficacy, low cost of production and high availability makes it an excellent choice for prophylactic and early stage treatment. These are the experiences of frontline doctors - I'm relaying their data and opinions.
Safety data for vaccines is not as extensive, lacks long term data and has not undergone sufficient testing to be used in the general public without an EUA. The manufacturers of the vaccines are immune from liability in the event of negative outcomes, which can cause a certain level of hesitancy. This is a consideration for an educated individual choosing to be vaccinated.
I don't think it's a contest to declare a winner, but should Ivermectin continue to see positive results and gain official recognition and administration as a repurposed drug from governing bodies, we would expect to see the EUA pulled. This is based on the conditions required for an EUA in the first place - whether or not that would actually happen is a different story.
I think you're trying to infer I have a narrative - that is incorrect. I'm simply interested in gathering, interpreting and discussing all available data regarding COVID treatment in an apolitical fashion.
