Yes, one does hear comments from people who have used IVM for flu and other viral infections - and they report it helped them.

So it would not be surprising.

 

Prophylaxis with IVM seems to work.

However, I have seen with Omicron that while a family's close contacts did not get symptoms day1-7 - but they did show some post-day8 hyperinflammatory signals (some fatigue, another with elevated pulse rate).

These were fixed with steroids-at-day8.

So I would say that IVM - plus a backup of steroids-at-day8 to prevent post-day8 hyperinflammatory stage or the occasional cases of "creeping inflammation" in "mild" cases - in such cases steroids-at-day8 prevents this too.

 

So both Ivermectin - and steroids - make for an even more cautious treatment safety net.

That’s not to mention the other methods.
