1/ THREAD - Countries with annual ivermectin treatment showing extremely low cases & deaths despite having very low vaccination rates.
IVM has been used to treat River Blindness via the African Program for Onchocerciasis Control (APOC) & includes 19 countries in Africa...
2/ The APOC program started in 1995 and people were given 1 (most countries) or 2 doses of Ivermectin per year. The APOC program closed at the end of 2015 and transitioned to the Community Directed Treatment with Ivermectin (CDTI) program. In 2017 more than 145M ppl were treated.
3/ I have compared 3 sets of countries. APOC countries, the rest of Africa and the most vaccinated countries + USA, UK and Canada.

This first set of charts shows Cumulative Cases / Million.
4/ Cumulative Deaths / Million
5/ Average Daily Deaths (7 Day Rolling Average)
6/ Cumulative Timeline of Fully Vaxxed Poplution (%)
7/ Can anyone give me a reasonable explanation other than the use of Ivermectin as to why this would be the case given the very low COVID vaccination rate in the APOC countries?
Charts created with: ourworldindata.org/covid-deaths#w…
8/ It is important to note that some of the NON-APOC African countries do have their own Ivermectin programs as well, but the APOC countries have the largest ones. Unfortunately, I don't have time for a full analysis and breakdown of each country's programs.
