Ivermectin has many mechanisms of actions, and blocking the virus is not the main MOA. The virus sends proteins into the nucleus to suppress the gene expression needed for self defence. Ivermectin blocks the importer molecules used by the virus, allowing infected cells to inform the immune system about the menace. Another mechanism helps fight the cytokine storm, making ivermectin useful also in late stages of C19.
