That depends on whether you have a profit motive from other treatments.
- giardini 6y agoNot really. It is far cheaper than any vaccine.
- ceejayoz 6y agoNope. Several of the vaccines are cheaper. Even the most expensive are about the same. https://www.drugs.com/price-guide/ivermectin https://www.drugs.com/price-guide/ivermectin > The cost for ivermectin oral tablet 3 mg is around $79 for a supply of 20 tablets, depending on the pharmacy you visit. Prices are for cash paying customers only and are not valid with insurance plans. https://www.healthline.com/health-news/how-much-will-it-cost-to-get-a-covid-19-vaccine https://www.healthline.com/health-news/how-much-will-it-cost... > Moderna, a two-dose vaccine, recently announced each dose will go for around $32 to $37. The Pfizer vaccine, also given in two doses, is expected to cost $19.50 a dose. Each dose for Johnson & Johnson’s two-dose vaccine will cost an estimated $10, and AstraZeneca’s two-dose vaccine could be the cheapest at just $3 to $4 a dose. Novavax’s two-dose vaccine is estimated to be $16 a dose.
- giardini 6y agoWhy stop at 20 tablets? Why not 40 or 100? My point is that you are far overstating the cost by creating an impression that one must take ivermectin repeatedly. One doesn't need to take ivermectin every day or even every week: a single dose persists in the body for 3-12 months. Anyone can buy more than 20 doses of ivermectin for less than $20.
- collyw 6y agoI was referring to "no downside" and being "cheap". If you stand to make a lot of money from the pandemic, cheap can be a downside.
