You can remove the "probably". The manufacturer of Ivermectin states there is no scientific evidence [0] supporting the use of the drug for COVID-19. So much for the notion some espouse that "Big Pharma" pushes their drugs on us without fail.

Just to throw this out there. https://c19ivermectin.com/

It's a pity that the whole issue has become politicized, but that's modern times for you. That's why ivermectin is called 'horse dewormer' rather than simply a medicine for parasite infections with a number of human applications. It's a term like 'XXXX denier' which is used to tie a political adversary to concentration camps by playing on our disgust or fears.

Does it do anything for COVID? Dunno. Should it be a discussable matter without internet censorship and crazy people twitterstorms? Maybe. Am I sick of being propagandized by everyone? Yes.

If you're so certain that ivermectin doesn't do anything for COVID-19 then you ought to let the NIH know. They're currently running a huge clinical trial on it.

You might also want to let these researchers know that you disagree with their results
