Critical Epidemiologists
Griffith University epidemiologist Dicky Budiman previously confirmed that ivermectin has not been recognized by the world health agency or WHO as a drug to cure Covid. He also asked the government not to over-glorify the drug Ivermectin.
“Often glorification, often there are very positive things, but excessive. This is excessive. Like Ivermectin, there is no WHO recommends, developed countries that have high standards also do not recommend it. Because this is still a clinical trial. We have to be careful. heart,” said Dicky.
WHO had issued guidelines for the use of Ivermectin which stated that the drug should only be used by Covid-19 patients in clinical trials.
Dicky assessed that the government’s pandemic control risk communication strategy had been ineffective so far. Especially those related to various curative programs such as providing vaccines to Covid-19 drugs.
