Nung nagka-COVID si Juan, pinagdala siya ng adobong manok ng nanay niya habang nasa ospital.
After 3 weeks gumaling na siya. Effective against COVID ang adobo.
—Tama ba to? Hindi. Kasi in statistics, correlation is different from CAUSATION

Same with #ivermectin. ;)

In science, one's personal experience about something is called an anecdotal evidence— it is not to be dismissed altogether, but it also cannot and should NOT be used to form a scientific fact unless it goes through the scientific method of research &study.

Same with #ivermectin

So pano yung #Ivermectin?
Pwedeng sa iba nagkataon talaga may correlational na paggaling (pero hindi pa scientifically proven sa causation).. Kaya naman until further studies are done & completed by experts, we cannot confirm its efficacy vs COVID. Nor should we endorse..

So ano nga—iinom o hindi??
At this time, one simply should not claim that #ivermectin is effective against COVID. We should not prescribe it (atleast not until further scientific proofs are available)...

I mean sana di ba may cure na ang COVID! Sino ba may ayaw?

Pero until studies are completed, wag muna natin iendorse, iprescribe, iadhere

So how do we respond to those who adhere & promote the #ivermectin despite the lack of scientific support?

Let's not look down naman like these are poorly educated ones. Baka gusto lang talaga makatulong, nagka-error nga lang sa judgement.

Let's not cancel them naman. Respect. Give grace. If you can, try to respectfully reach out, inform.

Kung influential sila na nagsspread ng unverified info as such, remember you too have influence-- use your social media to reach our to whoever you can to give the right info.

If youd ask me, anti-ivermectic ba ako? Not naman. But I am pro-science (I believe God also has called men and women in that field). So I am not pro-ivermectin, at least until there's scientific proof.

And this isnt a matter of faith ha.hehe. Gamot ito, scientific issue.

My advise for now are these:

Wear a mask, wash your hands.

Get the vaccine if you have the opportunity.

Apply knowledge and wisdom.

Kk. God bless the Philippines! Pray for our frontliners, scientists, & leaders!
