We have disproved ivermectin. Because it's an antiparasitic, not an antiviral.
No we haven't.
We don't prove negatives in science, or in medicine. We just know that in the studies we have performed, we have not noticed any meaningful effects and we can conclude there is likely no observable benefit to taking the drug for that purpose.
That's simply not true as a general statement lol it very much depends on the negative in question, or what you define as a negative
