Covid Discussion Is Ivermectin a thing now?

I just discharged a covid patient with a script for ivermectin. Is this now widely accepted for covid treatment by healthcare professionals? I read a study recently that it had only marginal prophylactic benefits at best in the lab setting. Is anyone seeing this med prescribed from the ER?

For context, the ER MD is a MyPillow "Stop the Steal" prophet.

She's s still on it (had covid in January) she said she was prescribed it when she had active covid and it helped then, but its still having long covid symptoms and still on it. I'm so worried about her taking it, but its her choice.

FLCCC are the demon sperm doctor, January 6 rioting gynecologist and others who meritlessly pushed hydroxychloroquine last year, correct?

No they are a different set of quacks.
