Without some sort of study, no one has any idea if it works or doesn’t. Things like “I took Ivermectin and got better” or “Joe Rogan took it” doesn’t necessarily mean it works.

There have been studies. But like anything, and especially related to this subject, you have to be careful with the, “cherry picking.” Doctors, scientists and other med pros tend to cite studies to fit a particular bias. Ivermectin and Hydroxychloriquin got a bad rap early on because trials were done with hospitalized patients at late stages of the disease. Both of those medications had poor results late in the disease, even in large doses. Conversely, both of those medications had very good results if taken at the onset of COVID-19. If you are of the mindset to try either one of those, don’t wait until you get worse!
I would tend to agree that Rogan didn’t give us all the information.
