Anti-thelmintic means anti-worms
It has nothing to do with parasites
A parasite is an organism like Mistletoe
which grows on and totally relies on another organism. Most of the members of the pineapple family are parasites.
Some worms are parasites
And there is a class of microorganism that is not a bacteria or an archaea or a fungus/yeast or a virus.
This kind of single-celled parasite includes the many varieties of Malaria which attacks the blood.
It is not surprise to anyone that a drug which alleviates the damage caused by malaria parasites will also alleviates the damage caused by Coronaviruses. Both attack the blood and cardiovascular system. Both interfere with HEME biochemistry which transports oxygen to the cells. Malaria medicine helps the HEME to work normally so it helps people with Coronavirus or malaria infections.
The mistake that everyone makes is to assume that medications are like bullets and that they kill disease organisms. That is not how biochemistry works at all.
Learn more about metabolic pathways, and inhibition.
And stop repeating the nonsense you hear on websites and forums. Go read the actual medical papers and the numerous websites that explain everything about biology and biochemistry. Put up or shit up. It you want to be a health journalist then you need to get the knowledge first. If you can't get the knowledge then keep your mouth shut. The last thing we need are know-it-all morons. We have enough of those in government and media.
