>>13601653My understanding is that anti-virals are expensive, have side effects, and are not as practical as prophylactics. If low-dose ivermectin (similar to the dose given to humans as an anti-parasitic) were an effective prophylactic and treatment for COVID, then that would be useful information, since it's cheaper and less risky than anti-virals at those doses
It seems there's little good evidence to support it at the moment, though, and the lab studies showing anti-viral properties were using very high and likely risky doses
