My anecdotal story, stepson, 35yo, got the covid along with pneumonia. Wife asked the doc about ivermectin. Doc says "Oh no that's for animals we don't give it to humans". Fast forward and he winds up in the hospital in Gulf Breeze FL with a different doc. Wife asked new doc about ivermectin. She says "Oh yeah I've prescribed it for him". Stepson gets seven pills. He said within a couple of hours he started feeling better. Still spent a couple more days in the hospital. Funny how two doctors can be 180 out on medication.
