> there is not evidence according to the standards of medical science.

What the hell are you trying to say? That doctors treating patients observations can be dismissed because they don't talk the academic language or their results don't follow academic guidelines?

There is more to medicine than just clinical trials.

Many different things can count as evidence, even if they are not up to your academic standard. Doctors observations, population-level improvements, and studies of different cohorts.

There are levels of evidence, there is strong evidence based on reports of observable ivermectin benefit to profylaxis and some benefit in treatmeant of early infections.




Please don't cross into flamewar, especially on divisive topics.

OK I could have worded that better, but I certainly did not want to get into a flamewar. I think there is a well visible point there still.
