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.

Parasites
Parasites are organisms which live in or on another organism, drawing suste- nance from the host and causing it harm. These include animals, plants, fungi, bacteria, and viruses, which live as host-dependent guests. Parasitism is one of the most successful and widespread ways of life. Some authors estimate that more than 50% of all eukaryotic organisms are parasitic, or have at least one parasitic phase during their life cycle. There is no complete biodiversity inventory to verify this assumption; it does stand to reason, however, given the fact that parasites live in or on almost every multicellular animal, and many host species are infected with several parasite species specifically adapted to them. Some of the most important human parasites are listed in Table 1.1.
The term parasite originated in Ancient Greece. It is derived from the Greek word “parasitos” (Greek pará = on, at, beside; sítos = food). The name parasite was first used to describe the officials who participated in sacrificial meals on behalf

Because all virus are parasites FYI ITS IN THE TEXTBOOK.
I know I could probably find it on my own... and if you tell me to, fair enough.
But can you find me a medical reference that identifies viruses as parasites?
https://application.wiley-vch.de/books/sample/3527328483_c01.pdf it’s the textbook they learn from ;)
Ha ha ha..... ohhhhhh, this will be fun, fun, fun.
"Ivermectin works."
"It can't work. Covid is a virus. Ivermectin works on parasites."
"Check this textbook. Viruses are classified as a type of parasite."
"......... REEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!"
