Ivermectin acts on a receptor that viruses lack, so if there’s an anti-covid use it’s a side effect. Given that humans have a modified form of the receptor target, overdosing had risks of triggering the anti-parasite effect on the one taking the med.
One would think that it’s better to look into meds that are fully shown to deal with covid symptoms (such as steroids or anti inflammatories), the newer anti-virals that have started appearing or one of the many vaccine alternatives. If current luck holds, covid has reached a form that can be (somewhat) safely endemic with risks +/- the various flu possibilities. Although “long flu” isn’t a part of the conversation.
If you’ve chosen to not vax, congratulations on your good fortune! Don’t buy a lottery ticket for a little while longer :-). Might want to work on the selfishness a little, or review your “just rely on others” approach when the next bug comes along.
