Just kidding. It is an FDA approved drug. It has not been approved for "Covid" specifically but this does in NO way mean that it can't potentially treat covid and other viral infections, etc.
Ivermectin is first and foremost an FDA approved drug, which has "secondarily" been used for Veterinarian purposes as well, like many many other FDA approved meds whose use, is also used for Veterinarian purposes.
The CDC also has promoted and urged it's use Internationally.
Ivermectin won a Nobel Prize of medication-
Lets review the hypocrisy and lies with the FACTS below. Trust the Science!

[h=1]Ivermectin for Prevention and Treatment of COVID-19 Infection: A Systematic Review, Meta-analysis, and Trial Sequential Analysis to Inform Clinical Guidelines[/h]https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8248252/
“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,” a study in the American Journal of Therapeutics published in June 2021 concluded. “The apparent safety and low cost suggest that ivermectin is likely to have a significant impact on the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic globally.”[h=1]The FDA-approved drug ivermectin inhibits the replication of SARS-CoV-2 in vitro[/h]

Although several clinical trials are now underway to test possible therapies, the worldwide response to the COVID-19 outbreak has been largely limited to monitoring/containment. We report here that Ivermectin, an FDA-approved anti-parasitic previously shown to have broad-spectrum anti-viral activity in vitro, is an inhibitor of the causative virus (SARS-CoV-2), with a single addition to Vero-hSLAM cells 2 h post infection with SARS-CoV-2 able to effect ~5000-fold reduction in viral RNA at 48 h. Ivermectin therefore warrants further investigation for possible benefits in humans.
[h=1]Continuous high-dose ivermectin appears to be safe in patients with acute myelogenous leukemia and could inform clinical repurposing for COVID-19 infection[/h]https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32611256/
These cases, although anecdotal, indicate that high doses of ivermectin can be safely administered for a prolonged period of time, alone or in combination with chemotherapy, in pediatric patients with refractory AML, and suggest that ivermectin should be systematically explored in AML. We also believe that this experience may encourage clinical testing of ivermectin in patients suffering from COVID-19-related complications, such as pneumonia, because higher doses are necessary for achieving the plasma concentrations that appear to be necessary for inhibition of COVID-19 replication [1,5].
In conclusion. Turn off your TV's. Stop listening to MSM and their regurgitated agendas. And laugh when you see your liberal friends repeat these fake talking points

Ivermectin won a Nobel Prize of medication-
- Three scientists who discovered natural-based remedies against parasites that cause malaria and river blindness won the Nobel Prize of Medicine
- The compounds – called artemisinin and ivermectin – are used by millions of people around the world and have saved countless lives. Ivermectin –which now is used to fight pests from bed bugs and lice to serious diseases such as lymphatic filariasis – was derived from naturally occurring bacteria in soil.
- “These two discoveries have provided humankind with powerful new means to combat these debilitating diseases that affect hundreds of millions of people annually. The consequences in terms of improved human health and reduced suffering are immeasurable,” the Nobel committee said.
Lets review the hypocrisy and lies with the FACTS below. Trust the Science!
- “The American Medical Association (AMA), American Pharmacists Association (APhA), and American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) strongly oppose the ordering, prescribing, or dispensing of ivermectin to prevent or treat COVID-19 outside of a clinical trial,” the AMA announced.
- The memo was then weaponized by the mass media to claim that it is only a ‘horse treatment.’
- However, a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guideline for refugees issued in 2019 shows that it was a regular part of the regimen of preventing parasites from being brought over to the United States.
