    The use of Ivermectin to treat COVID-19 is clearly a divisive issue.

    There are those who believe that caution is the best path forward, but those in favour of its use argue that in the battle against COVID-19, time is very much of the essence.

    Last week, a group of 55 South African doctors and medical professionals launched an urgent court application to get easy access to Ivermectin.

    The application was filed with the Pretoria High Court, and the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority (SAHPRA) intends to oppose the application, set down for February 22.

    Three leading infectious disease clinicians based in South Africa have also penned a GroundUp article, saying that as things stand, there isn’t enough evidence to justify using the drug for the treatment or prevention of COVID-19.

    On Sunday, Carte Blanche weighed in on the matter, in a segment that sparked a serious backlash on social media.

    Just have a look at the comments on this post, for example. Here’s a taster:

    ‘Bill Hates in front of a firing squad’ – somebody needs to wean themselves off their QAnon diet, and soon.

    The segment asked the question of whether Ivermectin is a “Silver Bullet or False Hope?”:

    Some doctors have hailed Ivermectin as a wonder-drug, but leading scientists say that, although it may look promising, they cannot say if it works and they cannot yet say if it doesn’t.

    Only more science can determine whether it’s safe and effective. As Ivermectin is put through the rigours of randomised control trials across the globe, some impatient South Africans are unwilling to wait and resort to self-medicating with the veterinary product.

    Carte Blanche tracks the latest developments in the application of Ivermectin.

    I’ll leave you to watch the segment and draw your own conclusions:
