Appeal to authority & false equivalence (apples & oranges); just because it's won a nobel prize doesn't mean it's a miracle cure against the 'rona.

I'm already dubious of the article you linked because the title uses appeal to authority (nobel prize winning) and emotional language (new global scourge).

I won't disagree that ivermectin improves life expectancy in some of those studies, but it doesn't seem to be effective in environments with less parasites.

Note also that it focuses on fatalities, not getting the disease, curing it faster than its natural course, or preventing it.

I didn’t even say anything about covid. I was refuting that it should be referenced as horse dewormer. You seem to have some major bias as well.
