Let us be perfectly clear. Ivermectin IS an FDA approved medicine. The researcher who developed it won a Nobel Prize for Medicine for it. While the use is off label, it has shown enough promise that several NIH approved studies are underway. In the meantime the NIH states that they have not yet determined if it is effective or not, though they did note that culture studies did show potential. It is generally well tolerated and safe under a doctor's care with rare serious side effects.
The jury is still out, so it seems to me the most anyone can honestly say is it might help, won't hurt. You can read the NIH report here:

I don't understand how many of the same people who rejected a vaccine, because it wasn't 100% fully FDA-approved for Covid, now seem to have no issue taking another drug that isn't 100% fully FDA-approved for Covid. That's an inconsistent logic.

I get vaccinated but it is my choice. It is a difficult decision sometimes when there are so many political stories that are divisive in nature. Never saw this crazy political garbage during the major flu outbreaks during my lifetime.

From the attached:
" Ivermectin is not approved by the FDA for the treatment of any viral infection.:
'nuff said.

Actually that story was completely blown out of the water and was in fact retracted by the publication that put it out. Might there be some cases? Sure, there's a reason we have warnings on drain cleaner not to drink it. The hospital in question emphatically denied that they had seen anyone with Ivermectin OD, and the "whistle blower" who reported it has not worked at the hospital for several months.
It can be used as a horse de-wormer, but, like many drugs used on animals, it is also prescribed for humans.

PO1 Kevin Dougherty - It is NOT prescribed for humans in the form they are buying at the feed store and taking.

MSG Stan Hutchison - Except they are not, not for the most part anyway. As I stated above, that story has been debunked and retracted by the outlet that first published it. Not saying no one did it, but not as a rule. There's a reason why drain cleaner has a label warning you not to drink it.

MSgt Steve Sweeney - Yes they indeed have. The health system in question has emphatically stated they are not true, the local news outlet that originally published the story has retracted it. The national outlet that originally published it kept it up but published the hospital's disclaimer at the top. Unfortunately, as Johnathan Swift observed, “Falsehood flies, and the Truth comes limping after it.” Sadly careful, honest and unbiased journalism seems to be the exception these days, and sensationalism supporting your individual bias the norm.
