Okay, some of these are valid others are not.

If Joe Rogan said there microchips in the vaccine, that is stupid, and that is misinformation, sure.

The misinformation claim about ivermectin is preposterous. The study you refer to did not administer Ivermectin within 5 days of infection, and used 3x the standard dose. The FDA approved Paxlovid based on needing to be administered in the first 5 days, and these drugs are the same class of Protease Inhibitor. There are over 100 studies showing the effectiveness of Ivermectin when given in the proper dosage early in the course of the disease. Here are a just a few of them

I would agree that Ivermectin is worth considering for treatments. The problem with discussions of it in the context of vaccine discussions is that there are anti-vax propagandists and their followers who promote it as the alternative to the vaccine. This is comparing treatment (during infection) with prevention (to help build antibodies before infection, and thereby become less of a danger to others). Thus what's best for a community is to help them develop antibodies without having to get COVID. Those who promote ivermectin are often promoting an option to avoid vaccines, thereby putting others in danger. And though you can get COVID after vaccination, you are less likely in that case to seriously suffer, and would have those minor symptoms for a brief period, and thereby would be less likely to spread the virus while infected.

It is all true.
