No proper clinic trials have been conducted (bar from a poor quality study conducted in Bangladesh of all places) and actual infectious diseases clinicians and researchers in this country have stated in that article that there’s no evidence the treatment at a dosage level safe for humans would be effective. So essentially he’s a quack (in this regard) selling unproven snake oil just like all the Hydroxychloroquine quacks.

And have a think why he went on one of the most ridiculous programs on TV, Sky News’s Outsiders, to sprout this rubbish. This untested snake oil treatment is only being pushed by the usual media loons like Rowan Dean and Miranda Devine. But of course it’s all just a secret conspiracy by the pro-vaccine lobby or Marxists hell bent on destroying our economy or whatever nonsense these garbage peddlers decide to sprout today......
you obviously didn't bother watching the interview because that's not what he said at all. You're conflating the Ivermectin study(s) against his claimed actual treatment of people. He's said the dosage level can be reduced and remain effective by mixing it with Zinc and another antibiotic. Calling him a quack is disingenuous and once again you're playing at character assassinations instead of addressing the facts being put forward. He's a professor with proven credentials and treatments, apparently quite famous for revolutionary treatment of stomach ulcers. The bloke obviously has some idea what he's talking about. If his claims have any basis, given they are on EXISTING therapies why the hell wouldn't we give it the benefit of the doubt and research them further? If he's wrong then so be it. But you're saying since the interview was done on Sky News with Rowan Dean so it all must be some far right loonacy so we should ignore this guy and a potential treatment for something currently having catastrophic impact on the world? Try detaching from your partisan view on the world once every now and again.
