No significant evidence Ivermectin can help vs COVID-19, WHO warnsMANILA, Philippines — Allowing the use of Ivermectin as a possible treatment for COVID-19 could lead to "false confidence" for those who take it, the World Health Organization's representative to the country said Tuesday. Specifically, he addressed members of the House of Representatives' committee on health that called for a hearing over its use. "We could assume that people who drink water are protected from COVID-19. We could assume that people who took Ivermectin are protected," Abeyasinghe said. At one point, Defensor said he took the Ivermectin when he was infected, and claimed that he got better after.
