I have no opinion on Ivermectin, but I find it odd that the FDA keeps implicitly recommending remdesivir [0] while the WHO (together with several European countries) recommends against it [1]. I believe the FDA is compromising its credibility, which is sad.
FDA: "The FDA has approved the antiviral drug Veklury (remdesivir) for adults and certain pediatric patients with COVID-19 who are sick enough to need hospitalization."
WHO: "WHO has issued a conditional recommendation against the use of remdesivir in hospitalized patients, regardless of disease severity, as there is currently no evidence that remdesivir improves survival and other outcomes in these patients."
