It seems like just yesterday the people who are now pushing Ivermectin as the miracle cure were pushing Hydrochloroquine. You don't hear much about that from them any more. What happened?

HCQ is still considered effective for early treatment, but Ivermectin appears effective in later stages of treatment. You can read all the peer reviewed science for yourself at c19ivermectin.com and c19hcq.com

A good infograph of the two are on the front pages if you cycle through the images, but I'll link them here,

ivm: https://c19ivermectin.com/plot/ispae2.png

hcq: https://c19hcq.com/plot/spae2.png

You can see that in early stage treatment HCQ is effective, but not as much in later stage treatments. Also, Ivermectin doesn't have side effects as strong as HCQ from what I understand.
