> But there was a lot of misinformation that the studies themselves were fake

That was not misinformation. The idea that Ivermectin was helpful in dealing with CoVID was determined from a meta analysis that included a fake study that nobody can confirm happened and even used dead people. It was pushed by grifting doctors who sell Ivermectin.

Yes, if you have parasites and take an anti-parasite drug you're gonna feel better, whether you have CoVID or not.

It halted it as much as it could considering 30% of people didn't complete vaccination. I finished and have had every booster and never got CoVID despite all of my family members getting it (who refused to get vaccinated).
