In addition to veterinary applications in horses, Ivermectin is approved for human use and is a powerful anti-viral that is effective against "wide range of RNA and DNA viruses, for example, dengue, Zika, yellow fever, and others"[1].
There is, to date, no evidence that it is effective as a treatment for the Covid-19 variants. However, it's certainly harmful to post in a public forum that it's just "horse de-wormer", which could lead patients to reject approved treatment for these other diseases.
