> The vaccines we do have are because we have vaccines for coronaviruses in animals and had nearly a decade of work for using them in humans. Which vaccine specifically are you talking about here? > The smear campaign against a drug that did not, does not, and could not work, because it is an antiparasitic, not an antiviral?

> I see you haven't checked out the research that's been done this past decade: The first reference to that study? "Ivermectin for COVID-19: Addressing Potential Bias and Medical Fraud" > https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8774052/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8774052/ "The results suggest that the significant effect of ivermectin on survival was dependent on largely poor-quality studies. ... This highlights the need for rigorous quality assessments, for authors to share patient-level data, and for efforts to avoid publication bias for registered studies. These steps are vital to facilitate accurate conclusions on clinical treatments." More specifically, to your point, and the research you cite, what actually appears to be happening: > [patients] who were infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (five with AIDS-defining conditions) and harbored Strongyloides stercoralis received ivermectin on a compassionate basis for persistent intestinal infection. Strongyloides. A _parasite_. I hate the "I did my research" trope and everything surrounding it.
