Can you link the study showing its effectiveness in treating covid?

A highly functional treatment already so soon would be absolutely astonishing. If Paxlovid holds what it promises, it can help give a huge push towards ending the pandemic.

Yes, that would be nice!
There is a cost/benefit concern with that medication, though. 86% reduction sounds like a lot, in groups where very few need to go to hospital anyway, you might need to medicare several thousand patients to only archive minimal relief for the hospitals.
I don't see how this is "ending", but immunity by infection+vaccines will win out eventually so it is reduced to "one of those diseases".
I highly recommend the recent Kurtzgezagt video series on YouTube about our immune system. It is absolutely mind-blowing!

I remember reading it in a different fact check article and it admitted some in vitro study showed it. I just don't remember the article exactly and i never looked for the study.
If you are talking about neurological side effects from ivermectin then you should know that ivermectin doesn't cross the blood brain barrier.
Also i love how your fact check article uses Pfizer spokeperson as a source, very thrustworthy!

As opposed to the Ivermectin is a miracle drug crowd who are both competent and completely trustworthy? I don’t understand why people are so wedded to it. Let’s even assume it has some effectiveness in this domain.
Why would it be more effective incidentally, being designed for a completely different clinical scenario than specific Covid treatments being developed?
Unless I’ve missed it I haven’t even seen the manufacturers themselves extol its virtues as a Covid treatment, although I believe it’s licensed for generic reproduction, that’s still a big prestige boost.

Why would you think that a successful in vitro experiment would imply that we ought to take it? A test-tube experiment is not the same as having huge, randomized, controlled sample sizes of actual human beings.

In response to widespread misuse, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, U.S. Centers for Disease Control, World Health Organization, American Medical Association, American Pharmacists Association, and American Society of Health-System Pharmacists issued statements in 2021 warning that ivermectin is not approved or authorized for the treatment or prevention of COVID-19, and advised against its use for that purpose outside of clinical trials.[60][22][92]

Also i love how your fact check article uses Pfizer spokeperson as a source, very thrustworthy! As opposed to the Ivermectin is a miracle drug crowd who are both competent and completely trustworthy? I don’t understand why people are so wedded to it. Let’s even assume it has some effectiveness in this domain. Why would it be more effective incidentally, being designed for a completely different clinical scenario than specific Covid treatments being developed? Unless I’ve missed it I haven’t even seen the manufacturers themselves extol its virtues as a Covid treatment, although I believe it’s licensed for generic reproduction, that’s still a big prestige boost.
Merck the company that makes ivermectin has a drug in development that costs 19-25$ to produce for a regimen and they plan to charge 700$. How is that compared to a prestige boost?

The organism they attack is different. Ivermectin attacks parasites. While the new Merck drug attacks RNA viruses.
They attack each organism differently. Ivermectin ruptures the cell membrane, which paralyzes and kills the parasite.

A test-tube experiment is not the same as having huge, randomized, controlled sample sizes of actual human beings.
I wish there was some good prestigious study that would settle this question once and for all. I know of the together trial that had ivermectin in it, but they used a small dose and late in the disease. How would it help once the virus is no longer replicating and youre just dealing with inflammation? Yet it's used as proof.
I actually think the whole pharmaceutical industry is rotten to the core and completely evil. And if ivermectin was good for covid they would 100% atleast try to kill the drug.

Also speaking of fact checkers, it's super interesting how they never fact checked herd immunity claims for example. The virus went from 2.5 r0 with wuhan strain to 6-8 r0 with delta. And waning immunity started to become a problem at the same time. Meanwhile the herd immunity claim went from 60-70% to 80% later to 90%. How come they didn't point out that you would need above 100%?
Fact checking is just there to criticize any claims that go against the narrative (valid or not).

Are you blaming fact checkers for not knowing the future?

“Protease inhibitor” is an extremely vague classification. Protease just means a protein that cuts up other proteins, and “protease inhibitor” just means there’s some protease it would at least partially slow down. A blood thinner might be a protease inhibitor but it wouldn’t help me much against a viral infection.
You should understand that drug development is extremely complicated and it’s not remotely uncommon for two drugs that appear to be inhibitors for the same protein at the same binding site to have wildly different functionality. In this case they don’t even apparently have the same mechanism; Wikipedia seems to indicate Ivermectin acts primarily on neuronal glutamate-gated chloride channels.
TL;DR: different drugs do different stuff, this shouldn’t surprise anyone.
