“it doesn’t explain why an antiviral such as invermectin works....”
I think Ivermectin is a parasitic treatment.
“Ivermectin tablets are approved by the FDA to treat people with intestinal strongyloidiasis and onchocerciasis, two conditions caused by parasitic worms. “
If “Covid” is actually a bacterium, it would make sense that Ivermectin works against “Covid” .
invermectin is used as an anti parasitic but it has antiviral properties....antibiotics do not work on viruses....
It (Ivermectin) short circuits cell wall penetration by virus’, and not just coronavirus’ either. It’s a serendipitous efficacy.
CoVid being bacterial pegs my dumb meter.
