Just curious if anyone has a list of which states in India used Ivermectin, when they started, and when they ended use? Specifically, I am looking for examples of states where it was widely used that border on states where it was banned.
Pretty amazing how hard this info is to come by. I’ve made several attempts to verify if ivermectin is behind Japan’s amazingly low numbers but can only find what I consider low confidence sources.
The oldest use of Ivermectin confirmed in news reports was from Kerala in April 2020 with certain patients not responding in the ICU to HCQ which was the standard protocol.
Out patient reports are murky and it's better to rely on reports from on the ground vs inferences because regardless of whatever governments announce or doctors announce, those are largely photo-ops and headlines. The true impact can only be know by looking for people who were treated and what they were given or prescribed. That's much harder to know because internet penetration and social media interaction in English is still infrequent in the places where Ivermectin was supposedly dispensed. Nevertheless, there could be something there. I'd suggest for the sake of completeness, look at states that had no ivermectin policy vs those that did. So, Uttar Pradesh vs Bihar/Jharkhand (similar levels of poverty, infant mortality, lack of healthcare, reporting inconsistencies) and Kerala vs Tamil Nadu (Similar levels of healthcare access, infant mortality etc.)
Very glad you are doing this. Thanks, Tim
Hope this will be a starting point for what you need:

Sorry I do not have IVM use/banned states in any countries, but for this project I would like to remind you of this gem: https://parasitesandvectors.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13071-021-05021-9 The mechanism of IVM in Rona pathogenesis may be strongest/most defensible here.
Juan does great research for the FLCCC folks. Maybe he could help. https://t.me/juanchamie

So not prophylactic but in-patient.
