All of them were quite effective in treating the primary ailment. The ancillary effects of having babies born with flippers instead of arms and legs (Thalidomide), heart attacks (Vioxx and other Cox 2 anti-inflammatories) and damaged heart valves (fen-phen) are indicative of the risks that new medications can have and which can manifest when they first come on the market. These medications went through the standard protocols (rigorous) for safety in order to receive FDA approval for wide-spread use. And yet despite this, you seem to think it is unreasonable to believe that a hastily deployed, poorly vetted mRNA vaccine that had no where near the vetting of these three medications would cause a good proportion of people to be reticent to take the "vaccine" (IIRC you referred to this as being used as some sort of anti-vaxxer psychological crutch). Now billboards and ads are going up all over the place encouraging children to get heart inflammation screens and the protocols for administering the "vaccine" now call for more spacing between shots due to this same concern for both adults and children.
Finally you link a study with a p-value of .25 as evidence that ivermectin-treated and untreated groups have no difference. That same study shows that it is half as likely to require a ventilator if one is taking Ivermecton and 50% more likely to require ICU care (if one is hospitalized) if one is not.
Ignoring the fact that there are several ongoing studies to see if Ivermectin is effective, many people would be satisfied with using Ivermectin for its prophylactic power alone (p-value < 0.0001). Even so, I had linked to several Covid treatment studies compared in a meta-analysis in an earlier post showing that it is effective as a treatment (which you ignored in your recent posts over the week).
