Everyone that study the subject will see that the evidence for Ivermectin is overwhelming.
The suppression of a cheap & effective C19 drug is a crime against humanity.

This is an offshoot, but I wish this form of hyperbole would stop. “Crime against humanity” is a technical term. Watering it down to refer to everything one doesn’t like dilutes it. We have actual crimes against humanity that cannot find political ground, in part due to the term’s semantic satiation.
It’s not and there are.
It’s not part of a widespread or systematic policy directed against civilians by a political group of state. There were no associated crimes against peace or war crimes. Not a crime against humanity. If what you allege were happening, and were happening intentionally, it could be one among many crimes. But not this one.
Open-Label studies on some poor country are not "quality evidence". (On the other hand I don't take that manufacturer's statement as a fair and honest assessment of the drug)
We do need serious studies on the repurposing of drugs, but people take it as their silver bullet.
A number of public and philanthropic groups write grants. I’ve written grants. And just because a commercial interest funds a study doesn’t mean it’s B.S.
I'm saying that commercial interest is commercial interest so why would it fund a study that isn't commercially viable?
Ivermectin isn't a money maker. It's a life saver. Vaccines and other new solutions are money makers and life savers (they hope)
I have no view on this drug. But this standard of evidence is useless.
Every substance-disease pair has positive testimony from doctors around the world. Ground tiger bones for cancer? Paprika for polio? Leeches for fever? tons of testimony. Totally worthless. What you need are quality studies.
If you watch it, I have a question for you.
Based on the info in the video, do you think Ivermectin has potential to treat covid? Yes or no?
Another question. Should videos like this be banned by YouTube?
