Ivermectin is a ploy by the deep state to limit the supply of unvaccinated cum
Here's the paper: https://www.scholarsresearchlibrary.com/articles/effects-of-ivermectin-therapy-on-the-sperm-functions-of-nigerian-onchocerciasis-patients.pdf
It's not terribly exciting and deals with a small sample (37) of men who have taken the drug for 11 months to treat river blindness (onchocerciasis) . There's no data on long-term effects. I found it pretty noteworthy that they rejected 90% of the people they screened (of 385) for already having very low sperm counts or being too weak to continue beyond the screening. I'm curious what the effects of onchocerciasis on sperm health are alone.
The results show a modest drop in sperm counts in every patient, though generally not enough to put them at abnormally low levels if they weren't already low. Motility and percent of sperm with abnormal morphology seem to be more impacted.
That's about all there is here; it's not a very long paper. Also it's from 2011.
The headline is highly sensationalized.
the media is shit at reporting science. shitty science reporting is responsible for a lot of climate change denial.
Yeah, looking at the actual paper, there's not a lot of evidence backing up the headline. More than the "Ivermectin cures COVID-19" crowd has, but still not much.
That's not to say we can't have fun with this, but let's not get carried away believing it's real.
But here we have a case where a deliberate misinformation campaign can save lives! Chud lives, but lives none the less. In the post truth world you gotta fight lies with lies.
Makes me feel better about the kids who’s parents are giving them the stuff.
ok, conspiracy theory time. These “alternative” cures are primarily used in the global south and primarily are widely available in the global south, including hydroxychloroquin and now with ivermectin.
and, in the face of climate catastrophe, it’s a coincidence that a prominent unproven treatment for areas that don’t have access to traditional treatment causes mass sterilization (in addition to not working lol) :thinking-about-it:
:alex-supplements:
are you insinuating that they were trying to sterilize poor people, or that they're trying to kill them off by depriving them of parasite medication?
the former, both medications are far more frequently used in the global south as malaria and parasites are a more omnipresent issue
Sperm is the mindkiller, I will permit my hornyness to flow over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn my minds eye to see its path. When the sperm is gone, nothing will remain. Only I will remain - The Enlightened Horse CHUD
It was excluded from future repurposed drug studies specifically because the dose from the few studies that have not been retracted about it is so uncertain.
Most studies and meta analysis since May show that it works about as well as a placebo.
In our Cochrane Review, we assessed the identical set of trials. However, only 4 of the 15 trials included in Bryant’s meta-analysis on mortality met our predefined eligibility criteria, and our conclusion, incorporating careful grading of the certainty of evidence, reveals a less rosy picture. The bottom line demonstrates an important uncertainty whether ivermectin compared with placebo or standard of care reduces or increases mortality in moderately ill hospitalised patients (RR 0.60, 95% CI 0.14 to 2.51; two studies) and mildly ill outpatients (RR 0.33, 95% CI 0.01 to 8.05; two studies), due to serious risk of bias and imprecision.

It became "politicised" because chuds are showing up to their local animal feed store, buying horse paste or cattle injection ivermectin, using some napkin math to try dose themselves, overdose on it, and show up to the hospitals with both Covid and liver damage. The whole thing is the ultimate chud self own, and funny in the most :jokerfied: way possible.
because it has been labeled the antithesis of vaccines, so it has become the Great AntiVax Hope
Why is this study coming out now? Hasn't ivermectin been used on humans for years?
My univermectin'd sperm is going to be liquid gold in a few years!
figures we'd get there in the stupidest way possible
