There were a lot of promising studies into using it for Covid then - large-scale retrospective cohort studies of pre-existing ivermectin trials going on as Covid started to spread. It just turns out that it mostly didn't apply to the first world because most people don't have parasitic comordidities. This was really annoying because the reaction to Trump's casual mention of it injected virulent American politics into everything around the world. We should have been able to discuss this and other topics without Rep/Dem nonsense spilling over, but instead any discussion of covid became nearly verboten, with even simply statements of obvious fact being banned. (ie, we haven't yet checked the Wuhan lab to see if Covid did in fact leak from there.)
