That's still being researched. Some studies say no, some say yes. > Our systematic review indicated that ivermectin may be effective for mildly to moderately ill patients. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35800451/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35800451/ (June, 2022) But it's certainly not a miracle cure. Edit: To be clear, I'm not "pushing ivermectin". I'm just against people treating science as a political football and taking an anti-Invermectin position simply because Trump mentioned it.

    Do you judge credibility by who doesn't get silenced?

      I'm a biologist, I judge heavily people doing and pushing subpar science for their grift.

        Subpar science for their grift seems to sum up the entire covid response. Surely as a biologist you must have asked some questions about the actual response. - Easily manipulated case numbers from variable PCR cycle thresholds. - The way the gold standard PCR test was designed. - Barely tested vaccines rushed out and coerced onto the entire population. - Every attempt possible to remove the control group. - No decrease in all cause mortality in the Pfizer 6 month follow up. - Very little effort made in monitoring adverse effects. - Vaccination for previously infected people. - Vaccinations pushed for healthy children, despite them being incredibly low risk for covid. - Endless boosters suggested with no idea about potential long term effects. - Zero effort to actually get people to be healthy through nutrition exercise and vitamin supplementation. - Everything within 28 days of a positive test is a covid death. - Two doses + 13 days is unvaccinated in most reports. - Censorship of opposing ideas from big tech and corporate media
