re: Question about Ivermectin: Does it work as prevention against serious symptoms?

Ivermectin is an anti parasitic drug. It is given to people whose immune system has been weakened by Coronavirus to allow the body to try and get the immune system back up to where it should be. It is given as a protective measure against things that would normally not harm someone with a healthy immune system.

Think of it as sunscreen you put it on before a sunburn , not after.
