No the OP, but if they were the only things around that showed any possibility of combating Covid, sure. But that's not the case. We have vaccines and other therapeutics that show incredible effectiveness. Approving HCQ and Ivermectin in this situation is wrong.

HCQ and ivermectin efficacy agaist SARS-CoV-2 was suppressed early on. If there were existing effective therapeutics, then emergency use authorization for the vaccines would not have been legally permissible (in the US).

Is India in on it, too? https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/nation/new-treatment-guide...

In all honesty, do you consider yourself a rational person? As in, is there something that could actually convince you that those drugs don't do much for Covid? I ask with absolute sincerity.
