Ivermectin is completely safe (even if it doesn’t work). The rest of treatments, well, we will know in a few years or decades.

Absolutely not. Ivermectin, like other antiparasitic drugs has a wealth of metabolic side effects making uncontrolled administration quite dangerous.

It's actually not, as it can induce temporary blindness if you overdose on it.

But overdose is a relative term, is it actually easy to overdose on ivermectin? Depending on the drug and how much a typical dosage is, overdosing could be a simple mistake like taking a second pill or be a ludicrous amount like eating hundreds of pills.

It's easy to overdose. A typical use of ivermectin for antiparasitic effect is a one-time dose with a single pill. But for so-called covid prevention, people have been taking higher doses for a prolonged period of time. There have been reported cases of people who had to get a liver transplant due to ivermectin misuse.

People betting on Ivermectin instead of vaccines, masking, social distancing, and proven treatments is extremely dangerous.
