I got into an argument over the weekend with a guy who said he works in the hospital, maybe a physician, scoffed when I told him my doctor proscribes IVM and HCQ like she's a quack.
On Ivermectin he kept asking "you know what it is?"
"An anti-parasitical."
"Yes. How does an anti-parasitical stop a virus?"
My mother got to the same block.
I mentioned that Ivermectin and HCQ, along with Zinc, make a passage for Zinc to enter the cell and inhibit cell replication. Of course, the next step is how zinc in a cell inhibit cell replication, but I'm glad I can remember that far.
Does it really matter, though? If a medicine man knew a certain leaf or berry would cure an illness, maybe he has a story that it's blessed by the Earth Mother or what not. Does it matter? He saw that it works, he remembers that it works, and he uses it.

Isn't a virus a parasite
I think technically a parasite is a larger organism than a virus.
But it wouldn't be the first drug to have more than one application. Viagra wasn't designed to give men hard ons.
