With all bashing on Ivermectin, I just wonder what people think about it! First, there's no money to be made from it - no patents, it costs cents per dose, and everybody can manufacture it! Second, it has proven anti-viral properties against HIV, HPV, etc. In general, it's not like some crazy guy decided to use try it against SARS-CoV-2 - scientists were looking to repurpose antivirals. Plus, it has a pretty decent and long-established safety record. Compare it to Remdesivir, let's say, which comes with terrible side effects! Also, the dosage has been pretty low and recommendations have changed - from 0.2mg/kg now it's 0.4-0.6mg/kg with Delta. Pretty much all my friends who followed the I-MASK+ protocol [0], didn't get severe course of COVID-19. Yeah, it's anecdotal data, but there are no exceptions!
