Isn't the consensus that Ivermectin is effective at treating parasitic infection, and treating an active, preexisting parasitic infection can help with COVID indirectly (e.g., the body doesn't have to fight a 'two-front' war against both the viral infection and a parasite at the same time). If you don't have any parasites, however, any benefit vanishes. So by all means, if you think you have worms, go get treated for worms. But if you don't, and most people in first-world countries don't, then it's pointless.
