February 8, 2020, I informed the Cypherpunks list about chloroquine.  Later, 4/3/2020, I mentioned ivermectin.  Within another month, I mentioned Famotidine.  (Pepcid).

The following is further confirmation of Ivermectin's effectiveness.

In those early COVID-19 times, nobody knew when, or if, there would be any any effective vaccine.  Later, insanely bigoted pro-vaccine people began acting as if being 'pro-drug' automatically meant you were 'anti-vax'.

I've always been open to the concept of using old drugs, whose safety had already been proven in other applications.  In fact, that's the big advantage of such drugs: their safety is already well-known.  

Viruses can't read the label on the bottle that contain these drugs.  So, they don't know that Ivermectin is supposed to be an 'anti-parasitic', nor that famotidine is supposed to an 'antacid'.  

They don't know that Fluvoxamine is supposed to be a an SSRI (https://www.wsj.com/articles/is-fluvoxamine-the-covid-miracle-drug-we-have-been-waiting-for-oral-pill-cheap-hospitalization-11640726605).

And they also don't know that diphenhydramine (an antihistamine) and lactoferrin were thought to be entirely unrelated to viruses.  https://m.ufhealth.org/news/2021/two-common-compounds-show-effectiveness-against-covid-19-virus-early-testing
