OANN Report (25min) “The Story of Ivermectin”

I read that Ivermection was used for many years as an anti malaria treatment

Don't remember anything about malaria in that film.

Something does not pass the small test.

Hydroxychloroquinine (sp?) is and was used for malaria. I never read that Ivermectin was, it is anti-parasite and afaik anti-viral.

I'm not sure about ivermectin's use for that purpose, but Hydroxychloriquine has, and still is used an an anti-malaria treatment. The military has used it for years.

before you throw stones at this excellent documentary on ivermectin, you might dig back into what you think you read that categorized ivermectin as a treatment for malaria?

hydroxychloroquine has been widely accepted as a treatment & prophylaxis for malaria (transmitted by mosquitos) for decades

otoh, "The origins of ivermectin as a human drug are inextricably linked with Onchocerciasis (or River Blindness), a chronic human filarial disease caused by infection with Onchocerca volvulus worms. The parasites are transmitted via the bite of infected blackflies of the genus Simulium, which breed in highly-oxygenated, fast-flowing rivers and watercourses. 1

so maybe you are relating malaria (HXc) to riverblindness (IVM)??

or possiblly the source where you read that association had it wrong?

footnote 1 source:
