    Ivermectin is an anti viral too. The real issue is ivermectin only works 90% of the time and the vax works 99%. Now do the math of 330mil at 9%

    30.milluon people would die.

      You fail to mention that studies of the antiviral properties of Ivermectin showed that the dosage requirements were proported to be higher dosage than what was considered safe and was likely to be toxic. Sure, maybe it can act as an antiviral medicine, but the other thing a medicine must do is, you know, not kill the person using it.

      As an edit upon further reading, not only were some of the early studies suggesting dangerous dosage being required to see the affects, laterore rigorous studies showed little evidence it made a difference at all.

      The worse part, that only too 2 minutes to google to see dones of papers on the subject, so maybe look into things before you parrot randos on the internet

      Ivermectin is a treatment, the vaccine is a defense. You can’t compare them like they do the same thing.
