Chiapas, Mexico

From Juan Chiame  (Senior Data Analyst, Frontline COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance):

“Mexico’s first outbreak took place on three fronts. An outburst of cases happened in its capital, Mexico City, in the tourist destination of Quintana Roo (Cancun) and to the north on the border with the United States. Rapidly from these three points, COVID advanced, without exception, throughout the country.

“After the buzz generated by the launch of the ivermectin. Driven by the distribution program in Peru, public interest in Mexico grew. Ivermectin Google searches and likely the use of it to treat COVID grew explosively in the country. Causal or not, estimates of excess weekly deaths lowered for 10 consecutive weeks from 13,294 to 5,217.

“On July 2020, the health authorities and the Mexican media started attacking the use of ivermectin. The same WHO published a statement advising against its use for COVID. At the end of August, the government removed ivermectin as OTC. In the state of Chiapas, the health authorities did not comply with the measures. Since the end of June 2020, they treated COVID with ivermectin. By July 2020, they began a massive door-to-door campaign to detect COVID cases and timely treat them with ivermectin.

“The results in Chiapas are amazing. Right after ivermectin national ban, COVID cases and deaths throughout the country grew. The numbers far exceeding the highs reached in July 2020. But in Chiapas COVID cases and deaths stayed at a very low level. Some analysts argued as the cause of the low levels, the little testing in Chiapas, however, the excess mortality shows, without a doubt, exemplary results. From August 2020 throughout June 2021, the number of deaths was much lower than the historical values.”

The reason that I find this very interesting is that it appears that here we have both an “experimental” group (Chiapas), and a “control” group (the remainder of Mexico). 

The Covid-19 death rate in Chiapas is approximately 30/100,000. For comparison about 95% of the other Mexican states the Covid-19 death rate is between 100-200/ 100,000. Mexico City is the worst with a Covid-19 death rate at almost 300/100,000. 

For those of us who are geographically challenged Chiapas is bordered on the west and northwest by the Mexican state of Oaxaca and on the south and east by Guatemala. The state of Oaxaca has the second lowest number of Covid-19 deaths in Mexico at about 70/100,000, and I wonder about Ivermectin spillover usage from Chiapas. For what it’s worth, Guatemala has a very low reported death rate from Covid with a recent 7-day moving average of 12 deaths per day in a country of over 3 million. However, keep in mind that Ivermectin usage is high in Guatemala. 

From the European Sting:

“Ivermectin has become such a popular preventive drug in Latin American countries, like Peru, Bolivia and Guatemala, that scientists performing clinical trials struggled to recruit participants because so many were already taking it.”

Likewise from Nature: “Researchers might never have sufficient data to justify ivermectin’s use if its widespread administration continues in Latin America. The drug’s popularity “practically cancels” the possibility of carrying out phase III clinical trials, which require thousands of participants.”

I find the dichotomy between the low Covid-19 death rate in Chiapas compared to the Covid-19 death rate in the rest of Mexico very difficult to explain without considering Ivermectin use to be causal.

Granted Chiapas is far, far from the U.S border with Mexico, but I did not read any of this in my local “newspaper” ever though Mexico is only a stone’s throw away.
