IVM’s 80% efficacy vs. vaccine 95% efficacy means that 5 TIMES more people would get sick using IVM for prophylaxis than vaccinated people in the same period.
Also, those 80% and 95% are not identical, as the time periods in which vaccines were evaluated are MUCH longer.

Most IVM trials lasted a few weeks while the vaccine trials lasted for months.
Also, if you look at the vaccine efficacy graph above, you will see that after the first 14 days when most of the infections in the vax group happen, the vax curve remains almost flat!

Which means that after the initial 14 days after the jab — which is the time it takes for your immune system to start generating adequate protection — the protection offered by a vaccine is closer to 99% levels.

This is corroborated by follow up data on breakthrough infections: fewer than 0.1% of vaccinated people have ever developed COVID in the follow up period. These are amazing numbers.

And those breakthrough cases are milder than cases in unvaccinated people:

Finally, to get any prophylactic protection from IVM you would have to take it continuously for months. And weekly dosage is too infrequent as its half-life is 18 hours, so after 3.5 days you only have 1/32 of the initial dose left in your body.
