Twits, Truthers, and News have all recently announced that ivermectin has been approved by the NIH for treating covid-19, one of them even boasted it was listed as a cure, not just a treatment. Is all of journalism so completely corrupt that none of them can just report truth and facts without sensationalizing and embellishing stories. These are supposed to be patriots reporting this information, well, those paytriots aren't doing us any favors its counterproductive and damaging.

Ivermectin: a multifaceted drug of Nobel prize-honoured distinction with indicated efficacy against a new global scourge, COVID-19
In 2015, the Nobel Committee for Physiology or Medicine, in its only award for treatments of infectious diseases since six decades prior, honoured the discovery of ivermectin (IVM), a multifaceted drug deployed against some of the world's most devastating tropical diseases. Since March 2020, when IVM was first used against a new global scourge, COVID-19, more than 20 randomized clinical trials (RCTs) have tracked such inpatient and outpatient treatments. Six of seven meta-analyses of IVM treatment RCTs reporting in 2021 found notable reductions in COVID-19 fatalities, with a mean 31% relative risk of mortality vs. controls. During mass IVM treatments in Peru, excess deaths fell by a mean of 74% over 30 days in its ten states with the most extensive treatments. Reductions in deaths correlated with the extent of IVM distributions in all 25 states with p < 0.002. Sharp reductions in morbidity using IVM were also observed in two animal models, of SARS-CoV-2 and a related betacoronavirus. The indicated biological mechanism of IVM, competitive binding with SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, is likely non-epitope specific, possibly yielding full efficacy against emerging viral mutant strains.
I'll take an FDA-approved drug anyday over an 'authorized for emergency use' experimental gene therapy. Even if said FDA-approved drug is just not 'approved for off label use to treat COVID'.
Not that FDA-approved really fucking matters anyway, but it was approved a long, long time ago, in an age far less corrupt, so perhaps the approval of it then actually carries some weight over whatever money passes into the hands of corrupt officials to "approve" shit today.
EDIT: shit meant to reply this to the OP POS
