* Short of using force, most people who are hesitant about the vaccines at this point are not going to rush to vaccinate anytime soon. A non-trivial portion of the population may never choose to get it. If there is some treatment that works, it basically starts to wind Covid down today.

It might not treat Covid very well (this is very much unproven) but a proper dose wouldn't kill you. * People who are resisting the vaccines are famously seeking out the version of Ivermectin made for horses. Of course there's interest in trying this out.
