They try so hard! Long term randomized trial shows Ivermectin is useless ... right

HAHAHA!!! They're so fucking desperate to keep the EUA kill shots on the market. If they have a viable treatment, then the EUA is null and void.

"The trial was part of the ongoing Accelerating COVID-19 Therapeutic Interventions and Vaccines 6 (ACTIV-6), which was designed to assess the effectiveness of repurposed drugs such as ivermectin in the treatment of mild to moderate COVID-19.
Of all participants, 602 were randomly assigned to receive 600 micrograms per kilogram (μg/kg) of ivermectin once daily for 6 days, and 604 received a placebo. The dose used in previous RCTs showing futility of ivermectin for COVID-19 was 400 μg/kg once daily for 3 days, which some experts suggested was insufficient. Both groups recovered in about 11 days
The median time to sustained recovery was 11 days in both the ivermectin and placebo groups (hazard ratio [HR], 1.02). Of the ivermectin recipients, 5.7% were hospitalized, died, or visited an urgent care center or emergency department, compared with 6.0% of placebo recipients (HR, 1.0).
One ivermectin recipient died, and 4 (0.8%) were hospitalized. Among placebo recipients, 2 (0.3%) were hospitalized, and none died. Adverse events were rare in both groups.
Despite the lack of efficacy in randomized, controlled trials, media reports and clinical experience suggests that some healthcare providers in the United States and abroad still prescribe ivermectin for their COVID-19 patients, according to an editor's note by Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo, PhD, MD, and Preeti Malani, MD, JAMA editor-in-chief and deputy editor, respectively."
I still remember how thet "tested" hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) after Trump mentioned it. HCQ is like a gun and zinc is the ammunition. You need HCQ to get the zinc into the cells to upset the virus.
Imagine you are an isolated village that keeps being raided by bandits. Someone suggests guns. First no-one will test any guns but eventually they are forced into it. They issue guns and the village gets raided just the same. Big story about guns being useless. (HCQ but no zinc.)
Someone reads the paper and asks if you also supplied ammunition? The answer was no so another reluctant test with ammunition. Careful reading of that paper showed that no guns were provided. (Zinc but no HCQ.)
It is pointed out that both guns and ammunition are required together. A third test is done and that also fails. Again careful reading of the report shows that the guns and ammunition were handed out as the raiders were leaving. (HCQ and zinc after serious illness hospitalises patients.)
Guns and ammo needed up front. OK, test 4, guns and ammo up front. The villagers were rounded up into a small space and several tons of guns and ammunition were dropped on them from a great height. (Yes, they really did overdose people on HCQ and claim it failed.)
These people have an agenda and you really need to keep a close eye on them to see what they are up to.
