I think jiggawatts came up with a reasonable overall summary on Ivermectic's known effectiveness with the information we have available. What I think is baffling is why there was such resistance to even trying Ivermectin and other alternatives in the first place? I'm not talking about after Joe Rogan used it here, I'm talking about well before he said he used it and there were some initial reports from some Indian and other doctors that this might have been very effective in their initial usage. Sick and dying people wanted to try this out and were shut down. If we had an inexpensive and marginally effective treatment, Covid would have been over very quickly. Yet, every initial inexpensive treatment (Hydroxychloroquine) that showed some initial effectiveness was given the stiffest resistance possible. It's the easiest risk management decision in the world to try out inexpensive (and safe in human dosage) drugs when the alternative is death, and for some reason there was supreme resistance to this. Why? It still feels like potential solutions were totally shut down precisely because nobody could really make any money off of it.
