Here in Brazil the pandemic is currently in the worst phase it has ever been, with no signs of improving in the near future. I'm glad that other countries can have good news to share but unfortunately that is certainly not the case here.

At this end of this article, there are some detailed reports on the effectiveness of ivermectin in Brazil. https://covid19criticalcare.com/ivermectin-in-covid-19/epide...

Why does the plight of Brazil have to be a magnet for all manner of denialism to show up in the comments? Ivermectin doesn't work, just like Hydroxichloroquine doesn't. Seriously, if these things actually worked wouldn't it be expected that rich countries would purchase the entire supply, as they've been doing with the vaccines? Part of that tragedy we're going through is precisely because our government instead of working to acquire life-saving vaccines, is pushing the lie that there's an "early treatment" for COVID with these medications.
