I don’t think there is actually much evidence. All those who say it works, feeling better in 2 days…you cannot prove a negative. Same on the flip side. Does it hurt? Likely not. But it does put pressure on meds used for other things (just like the HCQ could take it away from Lupus and RA patients).
Nothing is being taken away.
Easy to make and there is lots of it
All I can tell you (other than. The fact that there is a huge study that has been done of ivermctin results worldwide, showing it does work) is that personally I have had several times where I felt like crap, and have taken ivermectin and felt better th3 next day, 2 at most. I have had something (flu? Cold? Covid?) Several times in th3, ast 2 years, and each time all symptoms were gone within 2 days. If I dont use anything ,I am usually sick for several days, and one family member who had the same symptoms I had suffered for several days without th3 ivermectin-
Anecdotal? Sure, but so,far I am impressed with how it works personally. It also is claimed to work agaisnt flues too. If,I had the flu thise several times, then I can attest to that personally.
As you mentioned, it is safe, znd can’t hurt to use it, even if combining with traditional or accepted meds for covid. With covid, why not throw the whole kitchen at it if it is safe to do so? Ivermectin has only caused 2 deaths in a year- compare that to Tylenol which causes 1000’s I beleive, plus many more to damage their livers.
