Ivermectin? The animal dewormer? Did COVID suddenly grow glutamate-gated chloride channels?

Ivermectin has been known even before COVID-19 for having antiviral properties. And it's not an animal dewormer - it's been recognized as essential medicine for humans by the WHO and there's even a Nobel Prize for Medicine awarded for its application in eradicating parasites in humans. During the last 30 years, nearly 4 billion doses of it have been applied to humans.
