Here's a fun fact: Ivermectin - the HORSE DEWORMER THAT IS NOT APPROVED FOR HUMAN USE, AND WILL KILL YOU IF YOU USE IT FOR COVID!!!!!! - is a protease inhibitor
Here's another fun fact: for people old enough to remember, Prilosec used to be a prescription drug. It was hitting the height of its popularity when its patent expired. So, the manufacturer (AstraZeneca) came out with a brand new drug called Nexium - and pushed it as "better and more effective" than Prilosec. Of course, this drug had patent protection which translated into big $$$.
Typically forgotten: Prilosec's drug name is omeprazole. Nexium's is esomeprazole. The closeness stems from the fact that Nexium is a mirror image of the compound used for Prilosec. There is nothing new or novel about it - but it was just different enough to get patent protection, and restore profits to Astra Zeneca.
Ivermectin is off patent. PF-07321332 would have patent protection. Do you see where I'm going with this?

Yep. They change one molecule, rebrand it and then market it as a new miracle drug. They do it with Cancer drugs, antidepressants etc etc.
The horse paste worked just fine for us last month when we had Covid. 😆🐎🐎🐎
