Yes - those links show early and late approaches. The early approach - with minimal info - in June 2021, was fairly positive. As of yesterday:

In this randomized clinical trial of high-risk patients with mild to moderate COVID-19, ivermectin treatment during early illness did not prevent progression to severe disease. The study findings do not support the use of ivermectin for patients with COVID-19.

Thus - now with better data and examples, researchers can show that ivermectin is not helpful, and because of this, the patient depending on it can get much worse forms of long COVID.

Are you a redditor?

I hope that the recent information about ivermectin is helpful.

So that's a yes. Please go back to Reddit, and stop pushing your anti-science propaganda here.

This is a common tactic of anti-vaxxers to refer to those providing medical science journal research as somehow against science. One of the weakest of arguments. And anyone can read my occasional posts on Reddit - it doesn't require a mental heavyweight to figure this out.

the patient depending on it can get much worse forms of long COVID.

That's exactly the opposite of what the study found.

Look at the recent research in the second link, and then look at the research on unvaccnated people who are likely to get long COVID. This is also one of the purposes of the recent research.
