I'm not a doctor but that's what some doctors on YouTube have said ;)
I find that answer unsatisfactory. If "it's an anti-inflammatory!" is The Answer, there are lots of antiinflammatories out there.
in mammals ivermectin effects nuclear transport protiens responsible for mediating signal peptide transport to the nucleus.
the in vivo concentration corresponding to EC50 was reported in the range of 2. to 5. micromolar this is a very problematic dose, for humans; this drug targets host, and pathogen, albeit by different mechanisms.

So that first statement makes some kind of sense to me. That second one doesn't quite parse for me.
Can anyone kind of explain that in layman's terms?
(Thanks to everyone who has indulged my curiosity. I'm just trying to better understand the piece that most directly answers my question here.)
why do this ?.... protiens are made outside of the nucleus and must be inserted into the nucleus.
some of these are structural protiens, others are enzymes, and others are signals to the nucleus to switch operations for the time being, constantly chasing after homeostasis.
Ivermectin disrupts signal transport protien, and becomes cytotoxic, in higher doses due to its effect on the genetic expression signaling system.
[ADNDM] the claim is that CoV2019 infects a cell then produces a protien that enters the host nucleus and ultimately modulates interferon production, by the infected cell, and that Ivermectin can disrupt this.
when covid imports a specific protien this lowers the signal the infected cell attempts to give surrounding cells that there is an invader, and to harden up molecular defenses.
the problem is that the cell relies on this nuclear transport of signals for proper functioning, so you cant just block it, and expect the host to be spared cytotoxic effect.
