Could anyone here address the credibility of the news source or the research?

Maybe you can find this useful: https://c19early.com/ Several well studied drugs are effective for treatment or avoidance of the disease.

Or this:

ivermectin is primarily used to combat parasites. the dose required to perturb the mechanisms contributing to covid infection are toxic.

The Wikipedia article on ivermectin treatment of COVID is just some editor’s opinion. It isn’t properly referenced.

Here are some references:

there are 115 references regarding ivermectin, and they are not misinformation.

Ivermectin is toxic in the doses required to influence covid. https://doi.org/10.1016%2Fj.antiviral.2020.104805

(200 micrograms per kg) will not influence covid in the way that was observed in cultured cells in vitro

"The FDA-approved drug ivermectin inhibits the replication of SARS-CoV-2 in vitro" Antiviral Res. 2020 Jun; 178: 104787. Published online 2020 Apr 3. doi: 10.1016/j.antiviral.2020.104787

a dosage of 2uMoles in vivo et situ is most definitely not recommended to dose at 1.6 grams/kilogram is not recommended.

AP fact check also means nothing to me.

i also dont trust wikipedia, what i do trust is that it is obvious who has made a critical review of primary literature, and who has not despite the resources being presented.

The recommended dose is the same (200 micrograms per kg) as used to treat parasites in humans, per the Wikipedia article.

We are talking about COVID. See the referenced studies in the links I provided. An AP “fact check” means nothing to me. Nor does obviously politicized opinion.
