The Drug didn’t win the prize. The Doctors who showed it worked on Malaria did. Malaria is a Parasitic Infection. Not Viral.
Correction Sep. 23, 2021: paragraph one has been corrected to clarify that the drug Ivermectin was not awarded the Nobel Prize. Rather, the prize was awarded to two scientists for their discoveries involving the drug.

Ivermectin is an Anti Parasitic. It doesn’t do diddly squat for bacterial infections.
Let’s back up. Ivermectin works because it is a poison. It is literally poisonous. Ivermectin is deadly. It kills parasites including worms in proper doses.
In proper doses it is reasonably safe for you. In larger doses it will kill you. And it should. It is poison. Just as chemotherapy for cancer is a poison.
If the patients had Malaria. Ivermectin would be a fine choice. If the patient has worms. Ivermectin would be a great choice. If the patient has a sinus infection ivermectin is stupid. If the patient has a case of the flu. It would be criminal to proscribe ivermectin. COVID is a virus like the flu or the common cold. It is not a parasite.
This is why the FDA has not authorized or shown Ivermectin to be a good treatment. Unlike you and the rest of the I know better without ever driving through a medical school much less attending one folks. The FDA does understand this. As fo Doctors.
Now that this has been explained to you with a link about why the doctors got a Nobel Prize with the drug. Do you think you understand it now?
