The term 'ionophore' refers to a substance that opens channels into a cell that other molecules can pass through. So a zinc ionophore is a substance that opens channels into a cell that zinc is able to pass through to get inside the cell. It has nothing to do with absorption.
Zinc needs to be inside the cell to interfere with viral replication, but it can't get inside cells very effectively on its own. It needs help from a zinc ionophore to get inside. Hydroxychloroquine is a zinc ionophore.
I read that Ivermectin works by causing a change in the shape of the spike proteins on the virus so that the virus cannot bind to and infect cells. I don't remember any more details than that though.
I thought it was that it gums up the receptor on the cells, but not sure. In any case Ivermectin blocks the virus from entering, so they say - that is if you believe the whole virus story. But that's another debate.
We know that IVM takes out parasites, and there is some proof that there is some parasitical-like action. Also, from experience in my family, we take IVM when the body signals something is not right. So even headaches, scratchy throat or constipation issues means take the stuff for a few days.
Since the advent of IVM in our family, we have basically not been down, like we used to, with bugs. We notice that the scratchy throat will come in a wave, but none of us actually get sick.
We also now are stocked up on aspirin. It is another long-established safe drug. We carry it in a briefcase for work too. It's amazing how people will carry a headache to the office. One aspirin can just relieve it.
I don't remember the details from the paper I read last year, but you are correct about the fact that Ivermectin somehow prevents the virus particles from binding to and infecting cells. I just don't remember the exact mechanism the paper described other than it changes the conformation of one of the proteins needed for binding. Maybe it was a receptor protein.
And since I've worked in virology research labs for 30 years, I lean towards believing the whole virus story lol. 😄
I'm on mobile so I don't have access to that info atm, but with the right search engine it shouldn't be too difficult to search and find a lot of good papers online. There have been dozens of good papers published over the last year or so since all the censorship started falling apart.
You will also find a lot of earlier publications showing that HCQ and Ivermectin don't work against COVID, but those were very poorly designed studies, often intentionally, to support all the government lies. For example, since most people don't understand that HCQ has no antiviral activity, but just facilitates zinc to be much more effective, they did several studies where they treated HCQ without zinc, generally at overwhelmingly high and toxic doses that killed patients, and then they claimed that proved it was ineffective against COVID and even dangerous. They intended those studies to fail and kill a bunch of patients, often veterans in VA hospitals, so they could discredit HCQ. Over the last year that has stopped and many publications are now beginning to tell the truth.

OK, so you have my interest now, tell us more, or direct us to some papers?
