_Ivermectin used early works, who’d a thunk
“Moderate-certainty evidence finds that large reductions in COVID-19 deaths are possible using ivermectin. Using ivermectin early in the clinical course may reduce numbers progressing to severe disease. The apparent safety and low cost suggest that ivermectin is likely to have a significant impact on the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic globally.”
Not a miracle cure, not a magic bullet, but significantly better than no treatment, cheap, and very low in risk.
So, how much blood on the hands of the FDA this time?
In an ideal universe, effective vaccines and effective treatments would get equal attention as a matter of public policy. Obviously, we don’t live in an ideal universe, or even one that makes sense.

You have pointed out that early use of ivermectin is an effective treatment; NOT a preventative. The issue appears to be people using it preemptively and not under the guidance of a doctor.
No blood on the hands of anyone, except the idiots who sucked down tubes of horse dewormer or told their friends to do it because the demon sperm doc said so.

I cannot access your link. Could you repost? I cannot find anything online about NIH approving Ivermectin.

I cannot figure out when this NIH statement on Ivermectin took place. Every search gives me positions months old, even back to January 2021. And most of them say more data is needed. Cannot find much for September, 2021.
Maybe I am looking in all the wrong places. Like the song.
