The FLCCC group’s efforts started by systematically gathering the clinical observations and treatment results from a large group of national and international colleagues during the initial surges in China, Italy and the US. They next devoted themselves to a continuous review of all the emerging published medical literature on every aspect of COVID-19 while accumulating intense clinical experience in the care of COVID-19 patients with the goal of developing effective treatment protocols. Their first protocol for the hospitalized patient called MATH+, achieved near uniform success when initiated early in the disease course of patients arriving to the hospital with COVID-19. More recently, the group’s efforts led to their early identification of the potency and high efficacy of the medicine ivermectin in both the prevention and early treatment of COVID-19. Dr. Kory then became the lead author of the ivermectin review manuscript which first demonstrated the efficacy of ivermectin in COVID-19, followed by his now-viral testimony in a Senate Homeland Security Committee meeting on December 8, 2020. In that testimony, he led a call to action of the US national health care agencies to investigate and adopt ivermectin as a solution to the current crisis of the pandemic by its ability to stop transmission, hospitalizations, and death in COVID-19. His testimony and his organizations I-MASK+ treatment protocol for the prophylaxis and early treatment of COVID-19 has now gone viral in many countries around the world, with one website video in the US now having been viewed 8 million times. Ivermectin is now leading to markedly reduced rates of transmission, hospitalization, and death in many centers and regions of the world. The FLCCC Alliance’s I-Mask+ protocol and manuscript is currently leading to the consideration and adoption of ivermectin into the national COVID-19 treatment protocol of many countries worldwide.
