The #Ivermectin story in #Malaysia with regards to its usage in treating #COVID19 patients has taken a new twist !!
m.malaysiakini.com/letters/575402
Now just to put things in context.. remember #COVID19 raging in #India just a month back.. with thousands of daily deaths, open cremation & bodies thrown into the Ganges.. article below is on 24th May 2021..
google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.…
Yet within #India .. where individual States have authority to decide on health matters.. Some chose to use #Ivermectin for #COVID19 .. some chose not to.. And the results were pretty staggering !!

Morning Tan Sri Dr @DGHisham ..
This is a good journal report published to show that ivermectin has no significance for sequelae of #COVID19 patients..
Interesting thread discussing use of Ivermectin in relation to vaccines..
Ah.. I stand corrected !!
Looks like a rebuttal to the earlier JAMA article I quoted..
