Video is on the long side but goes into studies that indicate that Ivermectin is better than this new drug in every way. While the molecules of both drugs are not particularly similar, they appear to work in the same way (Protease Inhibitor) according to Pfizer.
I key area of concern with the new drug is that it will be much easier for the virus to become resistant to it as this new drug seems to have less modes of anti-viral operation than Ivermectin. This may be intentional so that once this happens, Pfizer can sell another expensive drug without losing a dime.
In addition, while we know how safe Ivermectin is, we can't be sure how safe this new drug is. It could be another Remdesevir whose benefits, if any, are offset by its serious side-effects such as death.
