You and the parent comment are in complete agreement. They even said, in the first sentences:
> Yes, ivermectin is an anti-parasitic, and yes that's probably why there's anecdotal evidence of it working. The reason people are testing it is because it has potential anti-viral properties as well.
And then you said:
> Yes, some people are interested in Ivermectin as a protease inhibitor. But the reason the de-wormer came to prominence in the first place was because some lower quality studies found it has a positive effect on COVID-19 outcomes.

- prohobo 5y agoThat pet theory is what got it classified as a drug of interest in the first place. That's why most of us even know what ivermectin is.
