Ivermectin…still doesn’t work for COVID. Here are the preprint results from a new NIH-sponsored RCT comparing high-dose ivermectin with placebo for the resolution of COVID symptoms. IVM also didn’t prevent severe disease.

From “Effect of Ivermectin 600 mcg/kg for 6 days vs Placebo on Time to Sustained Recovery in Outpatients with Mild to Moderate COVID-19: A Randomized Clinical Trial” (MedRxiv)

A series of well-conducted randomized trials have previously failed to find benefit with ivermectin.

Call me an establishment shill, but I still believe that medical conspiracy theories are usually wrong.

Some other recent studies I enjoyed reading:

  • Prevalence of post-COVID Condition 12 Weeks after Omicron Infection Compared to Negative Controls and Association with Vaccination Status: “Overall, 11.7% of Omicron cases had symptoms 12 weeks after the infection compared to 10.4% of individuals who tested negative during the same period (p < 0.001), and symptoms were much less common in vaccinated vs non-vaccinated individuals with Omicron infection (9.7% vs 18.1%, p < 0.001). There were no significant differences in functional impairment at 12 weeks between Omicron cases and negative controls even after adjusting for multiple potential confounders.” (Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2022)

  • A small study systematically surveilled households in Maryland for RSV during 2020-2021. (Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2022)

  • “Bias due to sample selection is a key concern in COVID-19 research based on national registry data, especially as countries end free mass testing.” (International Journal of Epidemiology, 2022)

  • The most advanced “liquid biopsy” blood tests have finally achieved performance on par with smearing poop onto a card.
