Nice post, but one thing, and I might be wrong about this, but Ivermectin is similar to DMARD drugs for rheumatoid arthritis and some of those are also cancer drugs. They supress the immune system, which is counter-intuitive, but may be beneficial to prevent the cytokine storm that happens with severe covid.

Ivermectin affects viral cell entry, nuclear transport, and inhibits replication via RdRp. It also suppresses cytokine production through STAT-3 inhibition, and is an effective protease inhibitor.
