Do you notice the guy is really into yelling and stroking his ego with performative rage? Not a good sign, but that's popular in some circles.
There isn't good evidence that Ivermectin works on covid. That's not surprising as it's meant for larger parasites, not viruses. Yes, some TV people were dumb to call it "horse medicine". But over-reacting to dumb statements is not a path to relative truth. There were some initial intriguing reports, but they turned out to be a "confounding variable" -- worms. Taking Ivermectin for covid helps, if you have a significant case of worms. That's not surprising, as Ivermectin is meant for worms. Worms suppress the immune system, and have negative interactions with certain early covid treatments. Large studies in non-worm-infested places are showing diddly-squat from Ivermectin.
Most people I know have moved on and don't think about covid anymore. I don't care about it. I'm not sure I even get it anymore, but if I do it's like a cold. All the people I know who took the vaccine are fine and have moved on with their lives.
I think at this point there is consensus (whatever the hell that means these days! ) that ivermectin, while initially used specifically to target parasitic infection, has been found to have myriad uses....has been used "off-label" to address all sorts of ailments;

Abstract
Over the past decade, the global scientific community have begun to recognize the unmatched value of an extraordinary drug, ivermectin, that originates from a single microbe unearthed from soil in Japan. Work on ivermectin has seen its discoverer, Satoshi Ōmura, of Tokyo’s prestigious Kitasato Institute, receive the 2014 Gairdner Global Health Award and the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, which he shared with a collaborating partner in the discovery and development of the drug, William Campbell of Merck & Co. Incorporated. Today, ivermectin is continuing to surprise and excite scientists, offering more and more promise to help improve global public health by treating a diverse range of diseases, with its unexpected potential as an antibacterial, antiviral and anti-cancer agent being particularly extraordinary.

One of 'em being cancer:
Anti-cancer
There is a continuously accumulating body of evidence that ivermectin may have substantial value in the treatment of a variety of cancers. The avermectins are known to possess pronounced antitumor activity,107 as well as the ability to potentiate the antitumor action of vincristine on Ehrlich carcinoma, melanoma B16 and P388 lymphoid leukemia, including the vincristine-resistant strain P388.108
Over the past few years, there have been steadily increasing reports that ivermectin may have varying uses as an anti-cancer agent, as it has been shown to exhibit both anti-cancer and anti-cancer stem cell properties. An in silico chemical genomics approach designed to predict whether any existing drugs might be useful in tackling glioblastoma, lung and breast cancer, indicated that ivermectin may be a useful compound in this respect.109

& Neurological disease (& all sorts of stuff in between it seems):
Neurological disease
Many neurological disorders, such as motor neurone disease, arise due to cell death initiated by excessive levels of excitation in central nervous system neurons. A proposed novel therapy for these disorders involves silencing excessive neuronal activity using ivermectin. Because of its action on P2X4 receptors, ivermectin has potential with respect to preventing alcohol use disorders92 as well as for motor neurone disease.93 Indeed, in 2007, Belgian scientists applied for a patent, ‘Use of ivermectin and derivates thereof for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis’ (Publication No.: WO/2008/034202A3), to cover ‘the use of ivermectin and analogs, to prevent, retard and ameliorate a motor neuron disease such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and the associated motor neuron degeneration’.

In that same article they talk about the anti-viral properties as well as anti-bacterial properties of ivermectin. It's a very cheap drug and many think that's why it was downgraded during Covid.
All that said, it's possible you have done way deeper research on the drug than I....I admit, have pretty much just barely skimmed surface where actual studies are concerned. I tried to get a hole of some early on in Covid. I had thrown out a huge bottle of the stuff just before Covid hit...I'd had it on hand for my guinea pigs, parasitic skin condition, for which it worked like a charm, and as we no longer had the piggies, I saw no good reason to hang onto the ivermectin. Boy...was I wrong....the stuff became like gold!
I am quite familiar with the way that a medication specifically created, initially to treat a particular health issue can sometimes show itself to treat completely different, unrelated health issues...can be multi-purposed as many say ivermectin can be.
Good to hear Covid is no longer an issue in your life and that you and those around you are not experiencing fallout from the vax.
