You are right Ivermectin is an antiviral and also right many Americans (and not only) took it. The results however, according to Google at least, seem to be at most "meh". The first results page shows only one positive correlation: in hamsters. But I'd be happy to see some more positive studies.

The takeaway I got from this post was you only see positive effects in countries where lots of people had stomach worms and the ivermectin was probably actually just helping with that: https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/ivermectin-much-more-than-y...

So were there actual follow ups to this study where the sample size is not just 72?

Pfizer found out it was a protease inhibitor and made a new expensive patent drug based off this completely useless and dangerous right wing propaganda. This completely pointless and horrible unsafe ivermectin's effects were amplified to cure COVID.
