Always follow the money.Ivermectin is prescribed to 10's of millions of people every year worldwide. Yet here in the United States its horse paste lol.
Ivermectin is considered a miracle drug.
What it did when taken with covid was reduced inflammation and allowed the patient to breath and get better. Steroids couldn't even come close to the effectiveness of Ivermectin for inflammation caused by covid.
It was not a cure nor was it billed as one. It just worked very well and saved everyone that took it in time.
The covid vaxxes were (and still are) made available through EUAs. You cannot have EUAs if there are already approved drugs and treatments for the condition. IVM cannot be approved for treating the illness because then the EUA could not exist. If there were no EUA...you get the idea.
