This doesn't fit the narrative and will disappear quickly...

"the narrative" being "reality" in this case.

Tell that to the patients on ventilators who have to sue the hospital to actually treat the patient, and then days later they are off the vent due to Ivermectin. Now imagine giving the medicine the day of testing rather than 3 weeks later on a ventilator?

I can't tell that to those patients because what you're describing is a fantasy created by anti-vaxxers to justify their position.

Literally the most basic principle of medical research is that giving patients (even millions of them) a drug and watching them improve means absolutely nothing about the effectiveness of the drug.

You can only learn if it works with large-scale, double-blind studies, and all of those show that ivermectin does nothing for Covid outcomes.
