And Botox is botulin toxin. It is also used to treat migraine and that was also not its first label use.
True. And look at some of the tragic faces of folk who have had too much Botox.

Ah, but too much of anything isn't a good idea.
You can kill yourself by drinking too much water. I suppose we ought to sneer at people who like to drink it next?

What would you say to someone that said India may have had a lot of issues with parasites and those taking ivamectin benefitted more from the ivamectin in relation to the parasites they already had than the covid they then got?
It's far easier to fight covid without other health issues.

No way to know who is and isn't full of it at present.
Did you know that the guy who did early pioneering work on germ theory and epidemiology was also laughed out of London during a cholera epidemic? He and he alone was pushing the theory that the cholera was spreading from contaminated water and wells and was trying to get the water supplies addressed and controlled.
But, of course, everyone in modern medicine ... all the experts ... knew how stupid that was. Clearly, disease travels via miasma and bad air!

But cowpox was not known to solve the problem until someone TRIED IT. It wasn't known for many years why it worked.
The interaction between the immune system and the chemical make up of Ivermectin might be a disrupter to the chemical reaction to a sars-cov-2 infection.
Interferons are turned off by the virus, does ivermectin turn them on or stimulate the body to make more?
who knows?
Doesn't the body's reaction to a SARS-COV-2 infection depend on many different things before a COVID-19 event happens?
After all, not everyone who is infected develops covid-19.
So perhaps the pathway to the therapeutic is not what it does to the virus but what it does for the immune system.
But hell let's not try saving people until we've worked out the profit margins.
