https://ivmstatus.com/ put up an interesting map of Ivermectin usage:

Let us take a look at the nations that have country wide use of Ivermectin and see how they fare compared to the nations that don’t.
Bangladesh have been using Ivermectin since June 2020. Population 167 million. Total deaths per million 168. COVID-19 cases are down 99% from peak, deaths down 98%
Belize has been using Ivermectin since 2020, but only for serious cases. Population 0.4 million. Total deaths per million 1,450. COVID-19 cases are down 89% from peak, deaths down 67%
Bolivia has country-wide usage. Population 12 million. Total deaths per million 1,641. COVID-19 cases are down 70% from peak, deaths down 59%. Less than half of the population are vaccinated.
Bulgaria has country-wide usage. Population 6.8 million. Total deaths per million 4,450. COVID-19 cases are down 36% from peak, deaths down 80%. Bulgaria had a late start with vaccines and has still the lowest vaccination rate in Europe of 32.4%.
Cambodia has country-wide usage. Population 17 million. Total deaths per million 176. COVID-19 cases are down 99.5% from peak, deaths down 75%
Dominican Republic – country-wide adoption – Sep 30, 2020. Population 11 million. Total deaths per million 385. COVID-19 cases are down 76% from peak, deaths down 90%
Egypt – country-wide adoption – Nov 30, 2020. Population 105 million. Total deaths per million 205. COVID-19 cases are down 38% from peak, deaths down 44%
El Salvador – country-wide adoption. Population 12 million. Total deaths per million 1,641. COVID-19 cases are down 36% from peak, deaths down 80%
Guatemala – country-wide adoption – Jan 23, 2021. Population 12 million. Total deaths per million 1,641. COVID-19 cases are down 95% from peak, deaths down 80%
Honduras – country-wide adoption – Apr 23, 2020. Population 8.5 million. Total deaths per million 875. COVID-19 cases are down 36% from peak, deaths down 92%
Lebanon – country-wide adoption – Jan 27, 2021. Population 6.8 million. Total deaths per million 1,334. COVID-19 cases are down 48% from peak, deaths down 62%
Nicaragua – country-wide adoption – Jan 25, 2021.Population 6.7 million. Total deaths per million 31. COVID-19 cases are down 92% from peak, deaths down 50%. This number is highly suspicious.
Panama – country-wide adoption. Population 4.4 million. Total deaths per million 1,680. COVID-19 cases are down 40% from peak, deaths down 80%
Venezuela – country-wide adoption.Population 28 million. Total deaths per million 188. COVID-19 cases are down 83% from peak, deaths down 80%
But the most interesting aspect of the first picture is what happens to the countries that use Ivermectin to fight parasites such as river blindness or head lice just to name a few. Look at this chart!

This chart lists Egypt as non Ivermectin because it is not used to fight parasites, but the point is clear. Ivermectin is working well as a prophylactic for COVID-19 even though its intent is to fight parasites. The death rates being around 90% lower for countries that fight parasites should be enough evidence for any thinking individual.
So here is my suggestion: Vaccines help for older people and people with special risk factors. The death rate for COVID-19 rises by about 7% par year of age after 2 years. See chart:

The statistics from the U.K. Office for National Statistics shows a 2.2x higher death rate for fully vaccinated people under 60 years of age than for unvaccinated people.

Charting these statistice I find that the crossover age is 45 years. People under this age are better off taking Ivermectin than get vaccinated unless there are special risk factors. Since between 2 and 3 billion people are already taking it for parasite protection it cannot be that dangerous. And by the way Ivermectin was offered to all Afghan refugees, as per immigration protocol, not for COVID, but for parasite control.
Summary: For people over 45 years of age and anybody with special risk factors. Take the vaccine, and continue with boosters. At the earliest sign of COVID take Ivermectin, Zinc and an antibiotic.
For the rest, most people under the age of 45, take Ivermectin and Zinc and an antibiotic during the first 5 days of symptoms, If diagnosed later there is most hopefully Regeneron available.
This would reduce the death rate by 80 t0 85%, reduce hospitalizations by a lot and make COVID-19 a mere nuisance so we can return to a normal life.
What are CDC FDA and NIH waiting for?
