For the record, the Australian TGA still states that  “vaccination against COVID-19 is the most effective way to reduce deaths and severe illness from infection.”  This, in light of overwhelming data to support the early use of ivermectin, and other early treatments that have demonstrated to saving lives.

The TGA is 100% funded by sponsors (Big Pharma), and as ivermectin is an off-patent, cheap drug there has no financial incentive for the manufacturer to sponsor an expanded use submission to include COVID-19, though the Australian government has been petitioned to make this submission on behalf of Australian taxpayers.
