That's a de-wormer (my term, may not be real).
How in the hell does that combat a virus.
COVID-19 uses the ACE channel and CD-147 receptor on cells to gain entry into the nucleus and replicate. Ivermectin blocks both of those pathways. In addition, Ivermectin deters the COVID-19 virus from producing strands of clots (von Willebrand) which creates a thromboembolic environment that leads to occlusions/opacity in the lungs viewed by X-ray and strokes when the chain of clots break loose. This drug works very similarly to the HCQ and CQ malaria medicine...minus the harmful effects that everyone was worried about.
And honestly, the only people worried about a 60 year old therapeutic being re-purposed for COVID-19 was the democrats and the media. They used fear to keep people from using it in an effort to get Trump out of office.
Great summary. HCQ was developed because of the harmful effects of CQ, so I wouldn't worry about taking it in moderate doses. If I had Corona, I would definitely want it or Ivermectin. But with adequate Vitamin D, the vast majority of people won't have a problem anyway.
I can't take any credit for the summary.
My wife is the mensa in our outfit. Her first degree was in cell and molecular biology. She was headed to med school but, got derailed by life (first marriage) and decided to become a nurse practitioner.
Thankfully, she's a decent artist and teacher also because, I needed pictures and lot's of different colored markers on a whiteboard to understand all of that.
