There are some bad studies that suggest it might be effective and some equally questionable studies that indicate it raises the risk of death. Right now there are two meta-analysis that come to different conclusions based on how they weight the studies. Like the hydroxychloroquine BS from last year, there are question to be answered and several real studies have started (including one being done by Oxford in the UK) so hopefully we will learn answers. OTOH, baseless claims of this being a cheap cure help no one -- if invermectin's efficacy was as obvious as claimed it would show up quickly and be easy to demonstrate, but the fact that we need to go into meta-analysis based on a bunch of questionable surveillance studies is a strong signal that the effect, if any, is small.
