Ivermectin is similar to macrolide antibiotics.

Paxlovid is a viral protease inhibitor.

Your statement is appreciated, but can you unpack that for those of us non-medical types?

I though Ivermectin is a protease inhibitor as well...

“Results: Ivermectin was found as a blocker of viral replicase, protease and human TMPRSS2, which could be the biophysical basis behind its antiviral efficiency. The antiviral action and ADMET profile of ivermectin was on par with the currently used anticorona drugs such as hydroxychloroquine and remdesivir.”
