The fact that Ivermectin existed would have blocked their Emergency Use Protocols:
It's obvious T.H.E.Y. had to go into over-drive to discredit Ivermectin, because they would not have gotten their "emergency use" go-ahead if something was already on the market to treat it. The propaganda and cover up continues. If they weren't able to block Ivermectin's use, then they couldn't force through their vaccination programme.

The authorisation recently announced in the United Kingdom under Regulation 174 is temporary and only relates to a limited number of specific batches of the Covid-19 vaccine BNT162b2 supplied by Pfizer and BioNTech, in response to the increased spread of Covid-19 and deaths in the UK. This emergency approval is not a market authorisation and there is no general authorisation to place this vaccine on the market in the UK. However, the conditions of the EUA stipulate that the sponsor “must operate a comprehensive pharmacovigilance (safety monitoring) system for this product in accordance with UK legislation for licensed products, as if they were market authorisation holders.” This clause ensures that processes are in place to monitor changes in the benefit-risk profile of the vaccine, and facilitate timely revisions to its use if required. https://www.duke-nus.edu.sg/core/think-tank/core-regulatory-perspective/making-sense-of-emergency-use-authorisations-(euas)-for-covid-19-vaccines-and-considerations-for-the-road-ahead
EMA is accepting rolling submissions for Covid-19 vaccines under the conditional marketing authorisation (CMA) procedures and is expected to announce a decision on the Pfizer/BioNtech vaccine after its scientific committee for human medicines meets on 29 December 2020.
