Early treatment for Covid is key to better outcomes May 21, 2021, 1:50 PM IST
The non-profit organization I founded, the Covid-19 Early Treatment Fund, funds research on drugs that can treat Covid. Our collaborations with hundreds of researchers and clinicians worldwide gives us a very broad view of what works and what doesn’t work, in both research trials and in the clinic.
I would like to share with you some of the most important things we’ve learned about Covid over the past year.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Get vaccinated if possible. If you have not yet been vaccinated, taking 0.2mg/kg of ivermectin once a week has been shown to reduce the risk of getting a Covid infection by an average of 85%. It is advisable to take two doses of 0.2mg/kg spread 2 days apart in the first week.
