Of Freedom, Country and Vaccination

I'm very curious on this point - what are your sources that a anti-parasitic drug that's often prescribed for livestock has any positive effect on Covid?  Is Covid actually a parasite?  Does the drug have a side effect that somehow impacts the Covid virus?  What am I missing here?

I'll be completely up front with you - I read through your points and didn't agree with any of them, but I'm not going to try to convince you otherwise because I realize we just see things differently.

But I'm genuinely curious how the Ivermectin train got rolling because I've heard this from other people as well but I haven't found what sources contributed to this.

(And I hope I'm not coming off as rude, that's certainly not my intent.  I'm just legitimately trying to figure out this particular viewpoint because it honestly makes no sense at all to me based on the knowledge I currently have).

What would you assume that this medication was/is only used for livestock?

"Originally introduced as a veterinary drug, it kills a wide range of internal and external parasites in commercial livestock and companion animals. It was quickly discovered to be ideal in combating two of the world’s most devastating and disfiguring diseases which have plagued the world’s poor throughout the tropics for centuries. It is now being used free-of-charge as the sole tool in campaigns to eliminate both diseases globally. It has also been used to successfully overcome several other human diseases and new uses for it are continually being found."

In fact, taking IVM is a requirement for all refugees entering the US and has been used the world over for very similar needs. Two doctors won a Nobel just recently for their repurposing of the drug.
