I haven't the time to read the 1000+ responses to this thread but the first clue I got that Ivermectin worked against Covid-19 corona virus infection was a report out of Australia. I did not make a record of the outlet making the report but it caught my interest as our family has occasionally used Ivermectin for various symptoms with good results and our dogs have been dosed with it a monthly intervals to combat heartworm infection which is endemic in this state. Also I have accidently been dosed and overdosed with pour on Ivermectin a couple of times while working cattle and all I ever noticed was a slight tightening of bowel movements.
Seeing as how billions of doses of Ivermectin have been used on humans and the now admitted efficacy of the drug against Covid-19 what is the problem with relying on it as a first line treatment against an incipient case of corona infection? Its use does not preclude other treatments.
I can testify that my one case of Covid-19 in January of 2022 was knocked down within 24 hours after orally dosing with an appropriate dose of 1% injectable Ivermectin. My fever of 103.5 and the muscle and joint pain were gone in one day.
Ivermectin is a real drug not a placebo and I understand that one or two cases don't prove much but my wife came down with symptoms and tested positive the next day and achieved the same results I did with Ivermectin. There are other local cases of people I'm well acquainted with that have used Ivermectin in conjunction with other drugs such as a Z-pack or Doxycycline to control secondary respiratory infections that recovered quite well.
But when you get down to it the recovery rate from Covid-19 corona infection is high anyway. What I thought was remarkable was my 24 hour recovery and my up the nose swab test was unequivocally positive. My infection resulted from riding in a closed truck cab with my twice boosted neighbor. He ended up sicker than me by quite a bit.
Patriotism (and religion) is the last refuge of a scoundrel.
