You fail to mention that studies of the antiviral properties of Ivermectin showed that the dosage requirements were proported to be higher dosage than what was considered safe and was likely to be toxic. Sure, maybe it can act as an antiviral medicine, but the other thing a medicine must do is, you know, not kill the person using it.
As an edit upon further reading, not only were some of the early studies suggesting dangerous dosage being required to see the affects, laterore rigorous studies showed little evidence it made a difference at all.
The worse part, that only too 2 minutes to google to see dones of papers on the subject, so maybe look into things before you parrot randos on the internet
If you would just go one step further and put a link up that you already have, it would be 100x more helpful. I'm not disputing, but human nature/reaction is weird and logically we're dying from a thousand cuts. A few percentage are misinformed because "they read somewhere once", a few more by pure propaganda and gaslighting, then tribalism kicks in and someone may not even want to read your reply at all.
Just dropping a link lets them know you're engaged and the link pops nicely instead of just non-stop text (you also have the links, it's not a huge step). It also makes it appear you are just sharing info you have, not attacking the validity of their statement personally like you're trying to one up them (this happens a lot unfortunately). None of this is important though unless you choose it to be, engage with how you feel best accomplishes your goal.
Ivermectin is a treatment, the vaccine is a defense. You can't compare them like they do the same thing.
