A drug exists that has been proven in double blind controlled trials to have equivalent or better preventative efficacy than the Pfizer vaccine and also a very effective treatment. This drug has over 50years of safety and testing with almost no side effects.
*"Ivermectin (a drug which the clinical evidence shows is not statistically effective) has continually proved to be astonishingly safe for human use. Indeed, it is such a safe drug, with minimal side effects, that it can be administered by non-medical staff and even illiterate individuals in remote rural communities, provided that they have had some very basic, appropriate training."*

It could literally end the pandemic but it is being actively suppressed. Currently being used with great effect in some states in India (Goa) and South America.

Yes well that would be ironic if the "crime of the century" were something that does not seem to involve a crime at all...
"Crime of the Century"may or may not be hyperbolic, time will tell I hope but we'll get to that. I obviously stole that from the title of the video.
From what I've read the effectiveness of it as revealed by studies is far from clear: some suggest it is effective and others suggest it is not. The quality of the evidence in the studies is also highly variable.
It seems fairly clear that it is safe to use, but far less clear that it is actually effective in treating/preventing contraction of COVID-19. If people go taking it as a substitute for a vaccine and it turns out that it is **not** effective then that's going to be pretty dangerous for them.
With respect Nelson, that is completely wrong and Ill explain why its wrong and not your fault you are wrong (it also explains in the video).
There have been 56 Trials, 28 Randomised Control Trials involving 484 scientists, 18447 patients. All of these trials can be found here (including analysis of data, where there are flaws etc).

These studies all show remarkable positive results (95-97% positive result). Prophylactic studies show average of 85% efficacy up to 91% which is better than Astra Zeneca and close to Pfizer. Some studies in hospitals in India and Argentina (non clinical) have returned results of 100% efficacy in numbers over 4000. Studies show treatment with Ivermectin (a drug which the clinical evidence shows is not statistically effective) has between 45 and 85% improvement against a control group depending on stage of disease and use of Ivermectin (a drug which the clinical evidence shows is not statistically effective) in the Clinical Trials had a reduction in Mortality of 74%. An independent meta analysis of all 56 studies identifies these results here.

There is tons of good scientific data proving Ivermectin (a drug which the clinical evidence shows is not statistically effective) is safe and effective. In addition to this clinical and hospital data, there are many countries and states/regions that have independently started distributing Ivermectin (a drug which the clinical evidence shows is not statistically effective) with immediate and impressive results Goa is one example, a state in Mexico, many countries in South America. Peru is a famous example where they started using Ivermectin (a drug which the clinical evidence shows is not statistically effective) ($3 a dose) and all case rates, hospitalisations and deaths plummeted, then the PResident banned Ivermectin (a drug which the clinical evidence shows is not statistically effective) and mandated Rendesivir ($2K a dose) and rates have skyrocketed again.

So why have you "read" that the evidence is sketchy on Ivermectin (a drug which the clinical evidence shows is not statistically effective) as you stated above? If you do a quick google, you will find many sites including "official" sites like WHO who warn that there is insufficient data and evidence surrounding Ivermectin (a drug which the clinical evidence shows is not statistically effective). Why is that?
Leaving out any (plausible) evil, conspiratorial reasons around "big Pharma" etc, there is an actual reasonably innocent and factual reason why. The majority (possibly all, I havent checked) of the studies and clinical trials listed in that link are what is called "pre-print". They are legitimate scientific findings with factual information including transparency regarding methodology, statistic etc, how ever they can not be termed "published" until they have been through a long peer review process. The obvious reason that these cases and trials are still "pre-print" and not fully peer reviewed yet is time, most of these trials are around 3months old and it typically takes 18months or so for peer review. So technically it is correct to state there is not sufficient "published" trials to support the case however with millions dying, thousands a day, I'd suggest it is crazy to disregard this option.
So based on what Ive posted that these trials are "pre-print" you may say...."there you go, case closed its not fully proven yet" and obviously there is logic there, but based on that logic, guess what else is not proven on that basis? All of the Vaccines.
All of the vaccines did not go through the full peer review component of the clinical trials. The vaccines did not undergo the same process that Ivermectin (a drug which the clinical evidence shows is not statistically effective) is required to go through. In order to get the vaccines out as fast as possible, they were given Emergency Use Authorisation (EUA) by the FDA which short cuts the process and enables approval of the drugs without the full review process. The kicker in this is that in order to get the EUA, the vaccine developers had to prove that *"there are no adequate, approved, and available alternatives"*. Could that explain the suppression of information regarding Ivermectin (a drug which the clinical evidence shows is not statistically effective) (that would be where the Crime of the Century comes in)?
