This research follows the same strategy pioneered by Jane McLelland who is living proof of the results of this approach and that 'terminal' cancer isn't necessarily fatal.
the use of ivermectin for covid treatment isn't really comparable though, as it hasn't been proven to be safe 'enough' for mass distribution, which is obviously whats required to treat covid.
The use of Ivermectin in this off-label way is directly comparable to that of using various outdated but proven drugs in combatting cancer. For Jane, she embarked on this strategy over 20 years ago following a terminal cancer diagnosis so the treatment regime has been proven in her case.
