“Any drug that has not completed clinical trials, cannot be prescribed.”

Ivermectin passed its trials many decades ago.

From Wikipedia:

Ivermectin was discovered in 1975 and came into medical use in 1981.[10][11] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines.[12] Ivermectin is FDA-approved as an antiparasitic agent.[13]

Doctors prescribe all sorts of drugs “off-label,” and the FDA, a part of the US Government, says it's perfectly healthy and fine:

Get over yourself.

You obviously don’t read the labels: “Ivermectin is FDA-approved as an antiparasitic agent.” It’s use as a therapy and preventative for COVID-19 is under clinical trials. For that purpose, people have to wait for the clinical trials to be completed. Our medical system is the best in the world because those who practice have the professional integrity not to jump the gun. Until FDA approval, Ivermection for COVID-19 is just Snake Oil.

I can get over myself, but I cannot get over people like you who do not read the label and follow medical protocol.
