After reading this excerpt from that article YOU linked...you'll see that, while everyone would love for any drug...even Ivermectin...to be a "WIN" against Malaria... the data shows it isn't.
--------------------
In the 6 months following the first dose, there were 1292 cases of malaria in children in the albendazole clusters and 1048 in the ivermectin clusters, a 26% reduction in incidence. “Ivermectin has been talked about for a long time as having potential against malaria, but this is the first major … high-quality evidence for such impact,” Okumu says.
It’s important that the drug appears to help reduce malaria in school-age children, says Okumu, who is from Kenya. That group often profits less from insecticide-treated bed nets—another key malaria prevention tool—because unlike adults and small children, they often don’t sleep in beds that can be covered by nets. "In my case, when I was a kid, most of my school-aged years I slept on floor mats made of reeds, often without a mattress and obviously not a place where [bed nets] are that usable," Okumu adds.
But Last says 26% is not very impressive. “I think there's questionable public health benefit in something so small,” she says. And the strategy has drawbacks, she notes. For example, ivermectin cannot currently be given to pregnant women or young children, which means mosquitoes don’t get exposed to the drug every time they bite someone.
Previous studies where ivermectin was widely given have not even been as compelling as the new finding. The first attempt of the strategy, conducted in eight villages in Burkina Faso in 2015, did find that five additional doses of ivermectin could reduce malaria in children compared with one dose of ivermectin and albendazole, but the trial was small and researchers have questioned how statistically valid the results are. A larger follow-up study in Burkina Faso in 2019 and 2020 showed no significant reduction of malaria in children. Last’s own study in Guinea-Bissau, published in April, showed no effect on malaria incidence at all.

“other researchers point out that previous studies of ivermectin mass administration have failed to show a clear benefit and that the effect size in the new study is small.”
Just because a guy you hate with all your being mentioned it five years ago. Crazy, huh?
He is the definition of a person mentally broken by Trump.

I'm laughing at him.
Everyday in their doom and gloom worlds is beyond. Get up everyday to research what he is doing to be pissed off. What a way to live.
This is not a COVID issue. Ivermectin a long known drug. Seeking new applications of old drugs is part of the normal medical research process. But Trump mentioned it, so…..
And ftr, I have no horse in this race.
a true moron for POTUS. He didn’t just mention it, he actually thought in his self proclaimed brilliance he had invented a cure for C19 in an off the cuff moment. And you like all MAGAmorons eat up his crap repeating as though you’re his equal in brilliance. And true to fact, you are his equal.
Next time before you post, without sun glasses look directly into the mid-day sun and have your besties follow along.
You cuck!

don’t let that keep you from showing how shallow and fearful you are of engaging and getting corrected time after time.
For clarity’s sake, that status is Alum…as stated on my UHND Profile from Day 1.

more messages falsely claiming I wasn't an ND grad, etc....before having that mini-thread deleted. You both act like children on an adult forum...both afraid to engage with another poster who has exposed you for less than honest posts...multiple times.
As for you specifically, you go to extraordinary lengths to try and cover up your use of multiple usernames over the last several years. I scan the Football Forum fairly regularly as the season approaches, and today I saw that you participated in a thread 'and said you joined' UHND in Dec., 2022...BUT you went on to say you knew 2 other Posters...of all the ones you could have mentioned, you chose "Aragoto" and "GOAT"...imagine that ;-). It's impossible to have any respect for someone who won't own up to the simple question..."Have you, The Person, who posts under the Username of "Hensou", Ever posted on the UHND Open Forum under the Usernames of "Aragoto" or "GOAT"?". There's nothing wrong with changing Usernames...whatever floats your boat...but there's a lot wrong with being deceitful and not owning up to those changes. Others have noted this as well...not just me...so until that day you find the courage and honesty of a Good Practicing Catholic...you're marked with a Scarlet "D", for Deceitful, on your digital forehead.
