Bear with me for a bit and try to suspend any preconceived notions you may have about Ivermectin.
I find it strange that the FDA has been so vehemently against Ivermectin. Doctors who prescribe it are being vilified, and people who take it are being ridiculed. However, it appears that other countries have used Ivermectin successfully and I understand why it should work for COVID. In addition to being an anti-parasite, Ivermectin is also an immunomodulator. It down regulates at least two cytokines that we have seen spike in COVID patients: IL-6 and GM-CSF. So it should be effective with patients who have elevated levels of those cytokines.
One explanation for the FDA's behavior could be to protect the idiots who are taking the animal version of the drug and doing more harm than good. There is, however, a cynical and much darker explanation that is being talked about on another message board that I frequent. Some are suggesting that the FDA is pandering to big pharma and the dollars aren't big enough--Ivermectin is cheap and safe (when properly dosed).
I am not a conspiracy theorist but if the cynical explanation is true, I think many people should go to prison for a long time--many, many people could have been saved.
