Ivermectin is interesting because the in vivo indications seem to suggest that to replicate the same result in humans, the dose would need to be pretty high.

High doses of Ivermectin are likely harmful.

Regulators assume people will take high doses, so they use a sleight of hand and issue a blanket notice about effectiveness and safety, under the assumption that people will take horse-strength doses.

Safe prophylactic doses should probably be studied, but instead studies like the Oxford one are being done at the critical stage.

It's a strange form of gaslighting where it is like pretending to mishear what is being suggested and then acting on that misrepresentation, as if to disprove what was actually said.

The actual claim is never addressed nor studied. Practicing doctors continue to prescribe it in India and elsewhere.
