Editor’s note: Following audience concerns over the efficacy and accuracy of the scientific methods used in the ivermectin study performed in Nigeria in 2011, the original publishing station, KTSM, issued the following correction:
FOR THE RECORD: A national story regarding Ivermectin and a study regarding its effect on men’s reproductive health that KTSM published, has been removed from our website.
Concerns over the scientific research methods, the veracity of the original, peer-reviewed report and public statements by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) saying that infertility is not a known side effect of Ivermectin all led to our editorial decision to remove the story."
Here is my beef. The active ingredient in Ivermectin has been show to have antiviral properties in vitro (in a test tube), but only at doses high enough (emphasis) to suppress the action of a specific cellular transport protein. This protein is responsible for cell development and determination, and suppressing it can damage or kill the cell or have other negative side effects, and the method of action is non-specific... it doesn't target any particular cells but has action across many types of cells. I will locate the reference and provide in a follow up post.

Ivermectin is a drug used to treat parasitic infections in humans and animals. Although some studies conducted on cells growing in the lab suggest that ivermectin has antiviral properties, reliable and large-scale clinical trials in humans haven’t detected significant benefits from ivermectin treatment in COVID-19 patients so far. At the moment, scientists are continuing to study ivermectin in order to explore its potential as a COVID-19...
