Treatments for COVID-19: Current consensus
A note on WP:MEDRS: Per this Wikipedia policy, we must rely on the highest quality secondary sources and the recommendations of professional organizations and government bodies when determining the scientific consensus about medical treatments.
- Ivermectin: The highest quality sources (1 2 3 4) suggest Ivermectin is not an effective treatment for COVID-19. In all likelihood, ivermectin does not reduce all-cause mortality (moderate certainty) or improve quality of life (high certainty) when used to treat COVID-19 in the outpatient setting (4). Recommendations from relevant organizations can be summarized as:
Evidence of efficacy for ivermectin is inconclusive. It should not be used outside of clinical trials.
(May 2021, June 2021, June 2021, July 2021, July 2021) (WHO, FDA, IDSA, ASHP, CDC, NIH) - Chloroquine & hydroxychloroquine: The highest quality sources (1 2 3 4) demonstrate that neither is effective for treating COVID-19. These analyses accounted for use both alone and in combination with azithromycin. Some data suggest their usage may worsen outcomes. Recommendations from relevant organizations can be summarized:
Neither hydroxychloroquine nor chloroquine should be used, either alone or in combination with azithromycin, in inpatient or outpatient settings.
(July 2020, Aug 2020, Sep 2020, May 2021) (WHO, FDA, IDSA, ASHP, NIH) - Ivmmeta.com, c19ivermectin.com, c19hcq.com, hcqmeta.com, trialsitenews.com, etc: These sites are not reliable. The authors are pseudonymous. The findings have not been subject to peer review. We must rely on expert opinion, which describes these sites as unreliable. From published criticisms (1 2 3 4 5), it is clear that these analyses violate basic methodological norms which are known to cause spurious or false conclusions. These analyses include studies which have very small sample sizes, widely different dosages of treatment, open-label designs, different incompatible outcome measures, poor-quality control groups, and ad-hoc un-published trials which themselves did not undergo peer-review.

Wikipedia used to be a trusted source of valuable information and has now valued narratives over facts by claiming Dr McCullough spread disinformation about Covid 19 vaccinations. Emperically, and with millions of valid data points and studies on millions of people, there’s no single medical vaccination that has cause more damage than these MRNA shots. Shame on you Wikipedia. 71.223.102.46 (talk) 04:50, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
- Citation required. Bon courage (talk) 04:57, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
- Truth. Even the CDC has finally come out and admitted that the Covid mRNA vaccine causes cancer, heart attacks, and blood clots. It's also in Pfizer's 9 pages of side effects. Dr. McCullough had warned of this since the beginning. 47.202.69.50 (talk) 11:53, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
- Citation required, again. And not a citation from a wackjob website. --Hob Gadling (talk) 12:12, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
- I fully agree on this comment. It is sad that Wikipedia is not a source we can trust anymore.. 41.66.99.2 (talk) 18:17, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
