When I had Covid I went to urgent care to get tested. They sent me home with a paper that said I had Covid and told me to take Tylenol. Everyone I know that has contracted Covid has received the same "treatment" no matter the age. This is why some people are dying.
Compare that with someone like Trump or Joe Rogan. It's not even a money thing, you have to convince doctors to even treat you for this thing. By the time you got to ER Ivermectin (or whatever the antiviral flavor of the month is) or monoclonal antibodies aren't that effective.

Well, one word should sum it up: profit
Probably because Ivermectin has gone through the rigorous process of testing/approval required for use in humans, that we haven't had time to do with the vaccine. I mean, it's completely understandable why people would seek out well-tested drugs, that are more predictable due to the scientific scrutiny they've been under, than a vaccine that got rushed into production. Are people honestly surprised by this? I mean, sure Ivermectin probably isn't a good covid treatment but if there aren't negative side-effects and it has a chance of helping then I don't see a problem with taking it under doctor supervision. I mean, we want to stop the pandemic, right? What's the big issue with looking to well-tested, scientifically-scrutinized medications as possible treatments for people who already have covid?
