For those posters asserting that Ivermectin is a drug designed for animals - again, completely false. This is a HUMAN anti-parisitic drug that's been safely used for decades over billions of doses.
People are entitled to ask questions without being howled down by posters regurgitating complete and utter media-driven falsehoods. If a vaccine can be developed in 6 months, then it is reasonable to examine the available data that demonstrates promising signs that certain treatments are worthy of further exploration.
Leaky vaccines that neither demonstrably stop one from contracting covid nor spreading it are not the silver bullet to halt this virus.
ANd, of course, you can site these "dozens of studies", as in properly controlled studies by reputable institutions?
