The Food and Drug Administration has joined media in mocking users of ivermectin, but the antiviral drug is featured on the National Institutes of Health website as a treatment for COVID-19.
In fact, ivermectin is the second drug listed -- under the highly touted, expensive COVID-19 drug with many side effects, remdesivir -- on an NIH page titled "Antiviral Agents That Are Approved or Under Evaluation for the Treatment of COVID-19."

NIH points out on its "antiviral agents" page that among the serious side effects seen in patients who take remdesivir are severe renal failure and liver damage. Ivermectin, on the other hand, is "generally well tolerated."
Ivermectin, whose inventors won a Nobel Prize, has been safely administered several billion times around the world, virtually eradicating diseases such as river blindness in Africa.
Let’s not forget that Remdesivir causes liver and kidney damage, whereas Ivermectin us a Nobel prize (I know this isn’t new info to everyone here)
