It's not a horrible idea, tbh. Ivermectin won a Nobel for a reason. Anti-parasitic with no major side effects. Maybe a bit of swelling or increased heartbeat to a tiny fraction of the population who're sensitive to it, but in return, you can now drink river water without getting sick and dying. Which is what the drug was created for, and why billions of doses are given out per year in Africa, India, and Southeast Asia.
What they found near the beginning of Covid (think January through early April 2020) was that regions where people's only commonality was that everyone took Ivermectin only suffered mild symptoms from Covid. Death rate even among the extreme elderly were some of the lowest in the world, at least from Covid itself. It wasn't understood
why the anti-parasitic was having a positive therapeutic effect on the cold, only that it
was. And, again, in that January-April timeframe, when you still had Democrats ranting that all the Covid shit was nonsense, go down and party in Chinatown, all that noise, doctors in every outbreak area in the US who had read the articles (both news and scientific) that had noted this phenomenon were starting to recommend Ivermectin to their patients. And it appeared to be working.
Insert project Warpspeed and Pfizer/Moderna becoming the two top advertisers AND lobbyists on the planet, suddenly, there was a war against Ivermectin and ALL potential therapeutics. Because what was the #1 issue with Ivermectin? It cost pennies. Same with azithromycin (Z-Packs). Z-Packs in particular are funny, because it's been noted for 30 years that for some weird reason, many types of viral infections seemed to be "treated" by azithromycin, when that's simply not how antibiotics work. Yet something about what it does made it so that the viruses couldn't take root in the cells and spread through a body like they normally do. Which is why azithromycin became one of the top prescribed treatments for upper respiratory infections all the way back in the 90's.
The fact about ivermectin is that it's one of the very few so-called "Miracle Drugs" to live up to the hype. So, if Cuomo wants to take it on a regular basis? Good for him! Hell, he'll even have a leg up on the average peasant scum when/if things collapse, because he'll be able to drink directly from the lakes, rivers, and streams without shitting himself to death. A+ Cuomo. He finally did something smart.
