Terrence Howard on health: what the evidence says · JRE #2152
SUBJECT: HEALTH
Not a true/false call. Every claim is logged with its sources; read the exhibits below.
I think it's an agenda attached to it because they restricted any natural thing like ivermectin... What the ivermectin did, it causes the worms to have paralysis or parasites to have paralysis, because it stops their information from passing.
What the evidence says 01 / RECORD
Ivermectin is an antiparasitic drug that paralyzes parasitic worms and arthropods by binding glutamate-gated chloride channels in their nervous systems; this mechanism is specific to invertebrate physiology and does not constitute an antiviral mechanism in humans. Multiple large randomized controlled trials conducted during the pandemic, including a 2021 JAMA trial of 400 adults with mild covid-19, found that a course of ivermectin did not significantly improve time to symptom resolution compared with placebo. Larger multi-arm platform trials (including the U.S. ACTIV-6 trial and Brazil's TOGETHER trial) reached similar conclusions, finding no meaningful reduction in hospitalization, mortality, or recovery time attributable to ivermectin at studied doses. Health authorities including the FDA, NIH, and WHO have stated the evidence does not support use of ivermectin to prevent or treat covid-19 outside clinical trials. The claim that ivermectin's antiparasitic paralytic action demonstrates covid-19 efficacy conflates two unrelated biological mechanisms and is not supported by the clinical trial evidence; the framing that restrictions on its use were agenda-driven rather than evidence-based is not supported by the available data.
