There's enormous amounts of evidence that ivermectin doesn't work.
If did work, we wouldn't have over 600,000 dead here in Brazil. A sizeable portion of the population, encouraged by our goverment, made use of ivermectin as a so-called preventive treatment. It didn't work, and hundreds of thousands died despite it.
The only thing that is actually working is the advance of the vaccination campaign. While it started late, we thankfully are have a very large support for vaccination, and very few antivaxxers.

I seriously think those people are heartless. So many died because of those ineffective treatments and they keep advocating for them, with higher (and more dangerous) dosages while linking to random papers as if all of them are trustworthy (like a certain senator here). Worse, they consider those who use the right tool for the job (vaccines) the equivalent of religious nutjobs. Most of their theories don't even make sense when you consider the wide picture: For example, even if the "evil big pharma" wasn't interested on cheap treatments, governments would have done anything to avoid lockdowns that heavily damaged their economies. It is a sick joke all the way down and a disgrace to all who died before a proper treatment was available. I'm deadly sure that if they had lived through a collapse of public and private healthcare systems and/or had lost someone over it, they wouldn't be talking BS all the time.
