Video: Dr Pierre Kory webinar with South African doctors – 29 December 2020

Posted on December 29, 2020

The Minara Chamber of Commerce, South Africa, recently hosted a webinar on the use of Ivermectin in the treatment of Covid-19. The webinar was attended by over 450 doctors, researchers, academics and public and private sector representatives.

Dr Pierre Kory responded to the South African National Department of Health’s “rapid review” and presented meta-analysis research conducted by Dr Andrew Hill on behalf of the WHO.

“We’re not here promoting Ivermectin based on no data. This is the opposite of hydroxychloroquine. We actually started to see this mountain of data coming at us and we said there is something real here, so we’re acting on it,” said Dr Kory.

“We’re almost mandated based on the existing evidence of a safe, cheap and widely available drug, given that the likelihood that it’s life-saving, faster recovery and that it limits transmission. In a pandemic, on a risk calculation at this moment, I really think we have to strongly consider putting it into use. The alternatives are terrible. Some of these health care systems are starting to collapse, our hospitals are filling and here you have a realistic and scientifically valid solution, and I really think it should be pursued.”

Panellists included Yunus Parak, Prof Colleen Aldous, Dr Martin Gill, Dr Yakub Essack, Solly Suleman, and Dr Essa.

    Greatest positive news of 2020. I am hoping Ivermectin will be the main ingredient in making 2021 a jubilant year globally !

    Thank you. I have been following ivermectin research for the last 6 months. There are now more than 30 studies. Some RCT’s, some observational, some retrospective and some country “experiments”, but they all show the same strong effect. Even though the study numbers are small and they are not perfect RCT’s, the evidence has convinced me. Additionally the cat is out of the bag, and the general public are starting to use veterinary ivermectin. SAHPRA will not stop this and to prevent someone drinking a huge dose it must be authorized so that it can be prescribed and controlled.

    As a retired pharmacist, but still keeping current, I cant find any reason for the appropriate institutions not making urgent representations to our government to legalise and allow Ivermectin to be used prophylactically and to treat COVID AT ALL LEVELS of infection. The dosages of Ivermectin with the other added products mentioned SHOULD BE FIRST LINE CHOICES FOR EVERY POTENTIAL OR DIAGNOSED PATIENT. Medical staff should all be on this prophylaxis. If not implemented ASAP thousands of lives will be lost and the goverment will be SOLELY responsible.
