British Ivermectin Recommendation Development

"[In February 2021] a group of 65 doctors and scientists from 16 countries met over Zoom to discuss how the drug could be used to fight the virus. They called themselves the BIRD (British Ivermectin Recommendation Development) panel." https://archive.is/9PmVG "Bird, a nonprofit group of doctors in the UK, took on a similar advocacy role. Its members published analyses promoting the drug, and the group started a now-defunct GoFundMe to “help us get life-saving drug approved for Covid-19”. The fund had raised around $44,000 as of last month.

Experts said ivermectin trials on which the review is based were not high quality. The FDA warns against taking ivermectin to prevent or treat COVID-19." https://archive.is/6tc7N#selection-1129.1-1163.69
