Medicines for when people get sick are great. Everybody loves those. However this medicine doesn't work for this sickness, as has been shown here, in this very study.

How do you jump from a scientific study telling you something doesn't work, to "open mindedness about anti viral treatments"? Ivermectin is ley-lines and crystals for the 21st century.

This study did not use ivermectin like a normal antiviral dosage, I don't think it's conclusive.

You can't take one meta study and make claims that it doesn't work. What happened to the randomized controlled trials argument?

Except ivermectin won the 2015 Nobel prize in medicine.

The minute crystals win the Nobel prize in medicine, let me know. I’ll buy a nice stock.

Not for treating COVID-19 though. You're obviously unaware, but the 19 in COVID-19 is the year it was first discovered. The 2015 Nobel prize happened in 2015, again, the clue is in the name.

You compared it to crystals, which are not recognized by the scientific community for anything.

As you can see from my posted study, there is a lot of evidence that ivermectin is efficacious against covid, and some that it isn’t. I suspect those are similar to the now retracted study denigrating Hydroxychloroquine
