>it would be a very interesting data point to know for sure what's the real situation there regarding treatments like ivermectin.

The efficacy of ivermectin is a proxy war for something that has zero to do with treating a disease. As such, by the time you find a satisfyingly-conclusive answer, you won't actually care anymore.

I don't know what's true or not - one side insists on it, while large scale trials seem to be ongoiong, some have failed, some trials appear to have been fraudulent. Yet some people, including some physicians, seem to insist on it so I'd like to know what's going on. But it's difficult through the fog of misinfo.

Clearly there are a lot of doctors that have good experiences with ivermectin. On an FDA approved dosage, it is one of the safest drugs available. Yet there seems to be a crusade against it. It is beyond me why such cheap and safe drug that has helped many, especially in the early stages of a covid19 infection, is being so strongly censored. In the Netherlands, we advise those coming down with covid19 to wait until things get so bad one needs to go to the hospital. Why not try ivermectin at this stage.
