Ecomectin: In December 2020, Chair of the US Senate Homeland Security Committee Ron Johnson used a Senate hearing to promote fringe theories about COVID-19. Among the witnesses was Pierre Kory, a pulmonary and critical care doctor, who erroneously described ivermectin as "miraculous" and as a "wonder drug" to be used against COVID-19. ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_misinformation#Ivermectin

Ivermectin: This remains a controversial topic. Invitro studies were very promising. At this point the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) has dropped its recommendation against Ivermectin's use for COVID 19 but has not advocated it's use either. Many believe that human study results are needed with live individuals before taking a firm stance.
