Dexamethasone is a cheap generic drug that has been proven to reduce covid-19 mortality and is being used worldwide including in the USA. The studies showing that it worked occurred before the EUA for the vaccines was issued. It is officially recommended on https://www.covid19treatmentguidelines.nih.gov/therapies/imm...

I am not sure there is any actual proof that if ivermectin was shown to be, e.g., as effective as dexamethasone in reducing covid-19 mortality that it would stop the FDA from issuing a EUA for a vaccine. After all there is a big difference between a vaccine and a treatment anyway.

Ivermectin is however being promoted both as a prophylactic and a cure - https://ivmmeta.com/ (I have no idea about the reputation of this source). With big Pharmas also relying on the internet and social media to market their medicines, it has really become quite difficult to sift through bullshit and facts. Look at all the hype before with HCQ and Remdesivir last year ...

These are the same doctors that recommended the use of corticosteroids when everyone else was recommending against it.

These are the same doctors that recommended anti-coagulation treatment when everyone else was recommending against it.

These are the same doctors that identified airborne transmission of disease, the WHO is only starting to acknowledge it more than a year later.

They were ridiculed and criticised at the time for things that are now standard of care, and proved right time and time again.

They are the same doctors that are now recommending Ivermectin, and are now being censored (e.g. senate hearing removed from YouTube) and labelled as spreading medical misinformation.

This is the same technique the Motley Fool uses for their stock picking newsletters. Make lots of predictions; highlight the ones that wound up working.

All of FLCCC's work is public, and is done with no financial conflict of interest.

Dr. Pierre Kory also testified multiple times to the senate.

He published multiple studies on the matter.

If they get it right again and again it's because they follow the data, and have actual expertise in the matter.

That said, the WHO reputation is becoming more and more tarnished day by day. That's why more and more countries are starting to ignore the WHO, and with great results.
