FDA - Ivermectin still not effective or approved for COVID-19 treatment

(NEXSTAR) — As COVID-19 cases rise across the U.S. — and a new variant emerges —misinformation about treatment or prevention of the disease perseveres. In an effort to combat a flurry of recent social media posts touting the use of deworming drug ivermectin, the FDA is reminding people why it never approved it as a COVID-19 treatment.

“Although FDA has approved ivermectin for certain uses in humans and animals, it has not authorized or approved ivermectin for use in preventing or treating COVID-19, nor has the agency stated that it is safe or effective for that use,” the FDA said on its social channels.

Okay, if it's not effective, why did I spend the entire "pandemic" wandering around living a normal life, not wearing a mask, yet I never caught covid? Shit, I didn't even wash my hands every 5 minutes, nor did I use a disinfectant wipe on my shopping cart handle and horror of horrors, I even touched ATM buttons without going into a full blown panic.

I didn't even get a sniffle the entire time.

Yet here we have the FDA saying Ivermectin wasn't effective while young people are experiencing heart problems and having strokes after taking the FDA approved clot shot.
