ivermectin is not approved by any country for use against covidWhich ones? HCQ and Ivermectin? The 2 drugs that studies show do a great job of reducing viral load in patients that take them early in the infection cycle?
But to the larger point where do you think the last guy was coming up with his ideas? Do you think he was in the Oval all alone and just making shit up? Was he throwing darts at lists of already approved drugs and going with that? Did he just flip through a physician's desk reference and happen to stop on HCQ and Ivermectin? Or were the experts telling him that there was promise in these drugs and techniques and he went with them because he was told they were already approved drugs that had decades (and billions of doses administered) of safe use, were over the counter drugs in parts of the world where malaria and parasites are a problem so the danger of taking them was minute. And when the press we bat shit crazy the spineless "experts" let him flap in the wind. Which of those 2 scenarios is more likely?
