Nothing in the study said anything about "safe doses." The study says that administered doses were "well tolerated." The FDA has neither approved the dose used in that trial nor is IVM approved as a Covid treatment. It's a "medical trial"...nothing else.
As far as "results" goes... Every person in the trial received the same dose in mcg/kg body weight. It was "triple" the dose to what is FDA approved to cure scabies or river blindness.
IVM plasma levels varied wildly from person to person...which tells us IVM is absorbed at different rates. Those with plasma levels less than 160ng/ml showed no better outcome than the control group. Absolutely nothing. Only those whith IVM plasma levels above 160ng/ml showed a reduction in viral load. But here's the thing...how do you know how what your IVM plasma level is if you take the triple dose? You don't have the equipment to measure such things and you don't draw blood every 3 hours to get these numbers either.
Main Conclusions:
"The lack of a registry of the meals ingested around the intake of each treatment may add a source of variation to the observed IVM plasma profiles."
"Although NOT achieving statistically significant differences between groups, the wide dispersion of baseline viral load and the baseline difference in viral loads between groups are limitation of this study."
"In summary, our findings support the hypothesis that IVM has a 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2 and provides insights into the type of evaluations to be considered in the assessment of antiviral drugs for the control of COVID-19."
And that's it... you can't measure your IVM "concentration" levels... and just popping 3 pills a day doesn't mean or do anything.
There's "Redneck Science"...like your simple thoughts.
And then there's real Science...doing research..taking blood samples...crunching numbers....etc.

Good day, buddy.
You lost me after the "FDA approval strawman".
