So, a skim of the data suggests weak evidence for Ivermectin having a weak effect at best on Covid. There are a number of other treatments with much better evidence of much better results. Remsidivir, dexamethasone, and 2 more. Convalescent plasma has some positive effect. So, using Ivermectin instead of something better is a problem. Particularly, if it’s done on prisoners with limited choice and consent

There is a very promising treatment being used in China and beginning to be used in New York and elsewhere. And that’s high dose intravenous vitamin C. Preliminary results from one trial showed that 50 patients with moderate to severe illness none have died and the average hospital stay was 3 to 5 days shorter with no side or adverse effects.

It’s cheap, it’s safe, it’s readily available, it’s easy to administer by hospitals.

They were also promoting HCQ as a treatment.
