Prognosis unlikely.

predicted YES
Scott issues a correction to his previous ivermectin post in today's open thread ( https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/open-thread-227 ) referencing this post ( https://doyourownresearch.substack.com/p/scott-alexander-corrects-error-ivermectin ). Obviously, this has only minimal bearing on what the medical establishment thinks.

Unlikely, but a lot more likely than 3% lol.

Ivermectin via deworming is worth a few percent.

This is a question about the medical establishment, not about whether Ivermectin (or Vitamin D) is "actually effective against COVID". And ... neither IVM nor D are effective enough that the medical establishment is going to "reverse course" that quickly. (HCQ actually doesn't work at all.)
