how does a parasiticide kill a novel virus? asking for a friend. that's like taking Z pak for covid too. it's an antibacterial
I’ve wondered about this too. The stock response from those that suggest it as an alternative to COVID vaccines seems to be “I did my own research”. I’ve read quite a bit too and keep coming up with ivermectin being an anti-parasitic. Perhaps I just don’t do my research in the proper places…
I'm late to this thread, but since you asked, I'm here to explain the science to you..
Basically there is a particular enzyme produced by the human body, which is necessary for the replication of the virus once in your system. This is the RdRP enzyme, and here's some specific info about it's interaction with covid:

So in short the theory is that if the RdRP enzyme can be reduced, eliminated, or blocked then the virus can not self-replicate, thereby resulting in quicker recovery. Non-conventional Doctors, such as Dr. Zelenko, have implemented a couple of methods to do this, one involves Ivermectin, and another involves Zinc plus an ionophore (carrier).
The Ivermectin method works by binding itself to the RdRP enzyme thereby rendering it useless for viral replication.
The Zinc method targets the same enzyme, but instead of binding to the enzyme, it reduces/eliminates the enzyme within the cells. However it needs the ionophore (carrier) to penetrate with cell wall. This is where hydroxychloroquine comes into the picture, however there are other more natural ionophores available, such as Quercetin, which is great for building immunity:

For those who are interested, here is the "Zelenko Protocol". Dr Zelenko has treated over 7000 covid patients in successfully, Fauci and Vivek Murthy have collectively treated zero covid patients:
