When Covid-19 hit, two drugs were touted as possible treatments: ivermectin, used to treat parasitic worms; and hydroxychloroquine, used for arthritis, lupus, and malaria. Dozens of randomized trials were launched to answer the questions about the efficacy of both. Ultimately, the cumulative effect across the totality of the data is that ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine are not treatments for Covid-19.
