"In an emailed response to Reuters, NIH spokesman Ken Pekoc denied claims that the agency “quietly approved” ivermectin as an approved treatment for COVID-19. He directed Reuters to the page for ivermectin’s treatment guidelines (here), where use for COVID-19 is indeed not listed."
Contrary to social media claims, ivermectin remains unapproved for the treatment of COVID-19 by U.S. health authorities. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) have not “silently approved” it.
