Early in January 2021, Dr. Tess Lawrie and a small team from the Evidence-Based Medicine Consultancy in Bath, came together to plan the first meeting of the British Ivermectin Recommendation Development Group, inviting health professionals and patient representatives to share with them the evidence from her rapid systematic review and meta-analysis on the effectiveness of ivermectin for the prevention and treatment of Covid-19. On Wednesday, the 13th of January, 2021, Dr. Lawrie presented the evidence to 20 experts and stakeholders from the USA, Belgium, South Africa and the UK, including 13 clinicians and medical researchers, and seven public/consumer/media representatives. The meeting was chaired by Prof. Jim Neilson from the University of Liverpool. The consensus that emerged from this initial meeting was that the evidence that ivermectin prevents morbidity and mortality from Covid-19 was so compelling, that further placebo-controlled clinical trials of ivermectin (versus no ivermectin) for treatment of covid-19 would be unethical. Ivermectin has been found to have highly potent anti-viral and anti-inflammatory properties and many randomized trials and data from countries that have adopted ivermectin all show large reductions in time to recovery, hospitaliza- tions and death. https://bird-group.org/protocols/
