This "study" is laughable. Even the country of Peru (promoted in this study) currently states that Ivermectin is useless for treating COVID and should not be used. Yet many people are still taking Ivermectin in Peru which has not stopped their 2021 COVID surge -- only vaccination will slow COVID down.

For treating worms. It's not even an anti-viral drug. Let's see what the manufacturer of Ivermectin, Merck, has to say... Merck Statement on Ivermectin use During the COVID-19 Pandemic https://www.merck.com/news/merck-statement-on-ivermectin-use-during-the-covid-19-pandemic/ KENILWORTH, N.J., Feb. 4, 2021 – Merck (NYSE: MRK), known as MSD outside the United States and Canada, today affirmed its position regarding use of ivermectin during the COVID-19 pandemic. Company scientists continue to carefully examine the findings of all available and emerging studies of ivermectin for the treatment of COVID-19 for evidence of efficacy and safety. It is important to note that, to-date, our analysis has identified: No scientific basis for a potential therapeutic effect against COVID-19 from pre-clinical studies; No meaningful evidence for clinical activity or clinical efficacy in patients with COVID-19 disease, and; A concerning lack of safety data in the majority of studies. We do not believe that the data available support the safety and efficacy of ivermectin beyond the doses and populations indicated in the regulatory agency-approved prescribing information.
As outlined by drug watch the average price of Ivermectin is 4 times higher than $1 per dose. As noted in drug patent watch, Ivermectin’s original U.S. patent may have expired in 1996 but there are 12 additional U.S follow-up patents for Ivermectin plus 102 foreign patents. Most companies (in fact all) producing genetics for Ivermectin simply find it best to navigate this patent maze by manufacturing under license agreement with Merck. This allows support from Merck while alleviating all possible patent entanglements. Of course Merck makes money off of these agreements. There are 10 suppliers of Ivermectin listed worldwide. According to drug patent watch -- the pricing information for Ivermectin is about $4 per unit.
