OPINION:
As of Sept. 16, Uttar Pradesh was leading India in its use of ivermectin for COVID-19 — and was the first state in the country to introduce large-scale prophylactic and therapeutic use of the drug. The state is practically COVID-19-free.
Ivermectin reduces mortality and dramatically lowers the viral load, thus reducing the spread of the virus. The Uttar Pradesh population is 244 million, and only 22,886 people have died, thanks to the state’s policy on the use of ivermectin for treatment and prophylaxis.
If all nations adopted this policy, the pandemic would be over. Are you listening, Dr. Fauci?
