This absurd meme shows a complete lack of understanding of pharmaceuticals, their applications, and their dosages. It's a misrepresentation of the highest order.
Don't you ever get tired of me proving you wrong?
Well, it hasn't happened yet, and a giant font won't make it so LOL.

We report here that Ivermectin, an FDA-approved anti-parasitic previously shown to have broad-spectrum anti-viral activity in vitro, is an inhibitor of the causative virus (SARS-CoV-2)
"in vitro" doesn't mean what you think it means; it has nothing to do with human subjects.

The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) recently filed a motion and amicus brief Thursday evening with the federal district court in Galveston...
The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) is a politically conservative
non-profit association
that promotes conspiracy theories and medical misinformation,
such as HIV/AIDS denialism, the abortion-breast cancer hypothesis, and vaccine and autism
connections. Leading up to the 2008 presidential election, it published an article claiming
that then-candidate Barack Obama was
captivating his audiences through hypnosis, and
that he was a
"witch doctor". AAPS also went on the record advocating for hydroxychloroquine
as an effective treatment against COVID.
The association's Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons (JP&S) is not listed in academic
literature databases such as
MEDLINE,
PubMed, or the
Web of Science. The quality and
scientific validity of articles published in the journal have been criticized by medical experts,
and some of the viewpoints advocated by AAPS are rejected by other scientists and medical
groups.
Quackwatch lists JP&S as
an "untrustworthy, non-recommended periodical". An editorial in
Chemical & Engineering News described the journal as a "
purveyor of utter nonsense."
Investigative journalist Brian Deer wrote that the journal is the "house magazine of the
right-wing American fringe group AAPS" and "
is barely credible as an independent forum."
Writing in The Guardian, science columnist Ben Goldacre described the journal as the
"in-house magazine of a right-wing US pressure group well known for polemics on homosexuality,
abortion and vaccines."

Over the past decade, the global scientific community have begun to recognize the unmatched value of an extraordinary drug, ivermectin, that originates from a single microbe unearthed from soil in Japan. Work on ivermectin has seen its discoverer, Satoshi Ōmura, of Tokyo’s prestigious Kitasato Institute, receive the 2014 Gairdner Global Health Award and the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, which he shared with a collaborating partner in the discovery and development of the drug, William Campbell of Merck & Co. Incorporated. Today, ivermectin is continuing to surprise and excite scientists, offering more and more promise to help improve global public health by treating a diverse range of diseases, with its unexpected potential as an antibacterial, antiviral and anti-cancer agent being particularly extraordinary.
Nowhere does this linked report refer to the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Dismissed.

Large pharmaceutical companies, who stand to lose over a trillion dollars in revenue, along with corrupted government and “health” officials are suppressing Ivermectin-based life-saving treatments. In addition, the mainstream media, Google and large social media companies are proactively censoring information on Ivermectin’s success in curing COVID-19 patients.
Not so. No evidence. Dismissed.
