Prevention Doses Save Lives

There have been several tests of preventive use of treatments that have resulted in reduction of death from Covid-19. These treatments are important in less affluent areas of the world, where people need treatments that work and that are affordable. This study showed a 92% decrease in mortality due to Covid-19.

We have previously demonstrated that ivermectin used as prophylaxis for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), irrespective of the regularity, in a strictly controlled citywide program in Southern Brazil (ItajaĆ­, Brazil), was associated with reductions in COVID-19 infection, hospitalization, and mortality rates. In this study, our objective was to determine if the regular use of ivermectin impacted the level of protection from COVID-19 and related outcomes, reinforcing the efficacy of ivermectin through the demonstration of a dose-response effect.

The conclusion states that not using Ivermection increases death rates:

Non-use of ivermectin was associated with a 12.5-fold increase in mortality rate and a seven-fold increased risk of dying from COVID-19 compared to the regular use of ivermectin. This dose-response efficacy reinforces the prophylactic effects of ivermectin against COVID-19.
