All I know about Ivermectin personally is that Covid-19 came on me suddenly with a high fever and painful joints and muscles and after 2 proper (for my weight) doses it left almost as suddenly effecting a disappearance of symptoms within 24 hours. Would my body have fought it off without the Ivermectin? Can't prove or disprove that, but the Ivermectin didn't hurt me and hasn't hurt the hundreds of millions or even billions of humans that have taken billions of doses worldwide.
There has to be a bad motive for governments to step in and do their best to prevent their citizenry from using a medicine that very well might work and almost certainly won't hurt. What is that motive? At best it is for control and money, at worst it is to get rid of some "marginal" people like me. I'm 71 and now consume probably more than I produce although I am still working as are lots of folks that get a retirement income.
The governor of New York state shed several billion dollars in expense by getting extended care patients off the dole. Who knows why that was done?
It's not a matter of individual cases or anecdotal accounts, but stats and overall efficacy.
Keep in mind that not everyone who got sick from covid died. In fact most people recovered.
The double blind studies shows no evidence to support the claims some make for Ivermectin.
Some of it fraudulent.
"Campaigners for the drug point to a number of scientific studies and often claim this evidence is being ignored or covered up. But a review by a group of independent scientists has cast serious doubt on that body of research."
Dr Kyle Sheldrick, one of the group investigating the studies, said they had not found "a single clinical trial" claiming to show that ivermectin prevented Covid deaths that did not contain "either obvious signs of fabrication or errors so critical they invalidate the study".
Major problems included:
The same patient data being used multiple times for supposedly different people
Evidence that selection of patients for test groups was not random
