Yet another meta study. I'm interested in this big, randomized clinical study, alas not yet concluded: https://www.principletrial.org/news/ivermectin-to-be-in

  I'm not. The vaccines are effective.

    It's not one or the other. Vaccines work great, but the prevention is not 100% effective. It seems now doubtful, that we can achieve herd immunity, so we still need something to treat people for which the vaccine doesn't work. I wouldn't hold my breath on ivermectin though either.

  The NIH has also prioritized ivermectin for another big, randomized clinical study. This research takes time. People need to be a little patient and not jump to conclusions. https://www.nih.gov/research-training/medical-research-initiatives/activ/covid-19-therapeutics-prioritized-testing-clinical-trials https://www.nih.gov/research-training/medical-research-initi... For now there are a mix of smaller studies, some of which show no benefit and others which show a significant benefit. Most of those studies had different treatment protocols so the results aren't directly comparable. https://www.mdpi.com/1999-4915/13/6/989 https://www.mdpi.com/1999-4915/13/6/989
