There were hypotheses that ivermectin initially looked like it was helping with covid outcomes because it was being used in regions with high amounts of undiagnosed parasite infections. So, by clearing out the parasites, they improved the outcomes of covid co-infections.

I'm not sure why that would improve outcomes of covid co-infections since COVID is a virus, not a parasite or bacteria, but I think people talk themselves into believing stuff works that couldn't possibly actually work, (like people who take Prevagen).

Because parasites add stress to the body and take up resources, so clearing them out leaves the body more capable of fighting off covid.
