Because it works, it’s cheap, and the multi billion dollar vaccines would be useless.

Seems to me, those are the reasons FOR approving it for Covid-19 treatment.

Invermectin while it might reduce symptoms it won’t keep a person from being contagious for a period of time. That means the R0 won’t drop below one and the virus keeps circulating. The vaccines on the to hand now with data pouring in show 90+ effectiveness in preventing symptomatic AND asymptomatic infection which means 90+% of people fully vaccinated can not incubate the virus and therefore CANNOT spread it. If a person has no virus present in the nose or mouth and tests negative on a PCR they cannot infect someone else period full stop. Israel has the largest data set and they show 94% /96% effectiveness in preventing symptomatic AND asymptomatic infection that’s why vaccines are important. While a treatment is welcome it will not end this virus spreading there’s no data to support that. Remember the vaccines that eliminated smallpox was 95% effectiveness no vaccine is 100% not smallpox not polio not measles not yellow fever they all have viral breakthrough the proper medical term for those last few percent that still get sick due to their own immune system deficiency

Also because the emergency use authorization for the new vaccines is permitted when there is NO available alternate treatment. Admitting the off-label effectiveness of the off the shelf alternatives renders the EUA invalid.

Doctors were putting it into the prolaxis .....because it didn’t work
