The India claim are way off. First they only used the drug in mild cases. Second they also used a cocktail of other anti viral drugs in the more severe cases. Third the report was put out about the use in India and they found that 95% of mild cases were treated effective with the drug and 93% were also treated effective with a placebo. So medically it means the use of a sugar pill was just as effective as the drug.

Right. That explains why all the meta-analyses show ivermectin works. Because it is a sugar pill which works better than all the other pills... Because they aren't as good as placebo? Noe that's a cool theory. https://ivmmeta.com/
