This is an analysis https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34318930/of some of the studies out there on ivermectin.

The conclusion of this study states that "Based on the current very low- to low-certainty evidence, we are uncertain about the efficacy and safety of ivermectin used to treat or prevent COVID-19. The completed studies are small and few are considered high quality. Several studies are underway that may produce clearer answers in review updates. Overall, the reliable evidence available does not support the use ivermectin for treatment or prevention of COVID-19 outside of well-designed randomized trials."

According to Pharmacy Today, CDC expects 2020 outbreak of life-threatening AFM.

Parents and clinicians should be on the alert for acute flaccid myelitis (AFM) in children in the coming months, CDC warned Tuesday. The rare but serious neurologic condition that affects primarily children has peaked every 2 years between August and November since 2014. In a new Vital Signs report, CDC reports there was a delay in case for some AFM patients in 2018, with 35% of patients not hospitalized until 2 or more days after experiencing limb weakness. "AFM can progress rapidly over the course of hours or days, leading to permanent paralysis and/or the life-threatening complication of respiratory failure in previously healthy patients, so delays in care can be serious," CDC warned. The agency said parents and clinicians should suspect AFM in patients with sudden limb weakness, particularly in the August through November time frame. Concern should be increased with recent respiratory illness or fever and the presence of neck or back pain or any neurologic symptom. CDC noted, "AFM is a medical emergency and patients should seek immediate medical care, even in areas with high COVID-19 activity." The new CDC report offers a more detailed look at the clinical characteristics of AFM in 2018, when there were 238 cases in 42 states.
