I caught Covid-19 last April--was tested positive. I awakened that morning with a fever, chills intense body aches, and a deep, hoarse, dry PAINFUL cough. I didn't wait for the test results. I'd purchased a couple of bottles of "pour on" Ivermectin a few months previous "just in case...". Instructions said to apply 10ml to the skin for an animal of my weight. I chose the pour-on formula as I didn't know if I might be allergic to the stuff, and so didn't want the injectable form, nor the "paste" which might upset my stomach. Didn't need to be retching or having diarrhea AND Covid-19. The pour on is applied to the skin--per accompanying instructions--on clear, sunny days, as rain will wash it off of the "patient's" skin, rendering it of no effect. Seemed like the least risky. If I had a reaction, I'd just be able to wash it off with plain water. Because I was treating a viral illness, I applied it to my skin TWICE a day--if you're treating parasites in livestock, it's a one-time treatment, but everything I'd read about it's use in humans as an antiviral suggested multiple treatments. As it worked out, the only reaction was about 8 hours later, when the fever, chills, muscle pains and insanely runny nose had cleared up. The cough, however, hung on. On the 6th day, I was completely well and returned to work, though I continued to apply the stuff for several more days to avoid a relapse. You can buy the stuff in any feedstore for under $30.00. If they ask why you want it, just tell them your uncle said the horse has worms...

If I am not mistaken in this case on of the judges said or the hospital argued that the dying patient (who did die I believe) was well beyond an actual Covid infection and therefore IVM would offer no benefit.

I'll never forget reading that and imaging how I might have had to navigate my emotions if I had been in the shoes of the family of any of these patients whose caregivers chose paying legal fees to fight desperate family members over trying something, anything that might save them.
