There seems to be a huge overlap between people who are staunchly anti-vaccines and pushing Ivermectin. I wonder if there is a link.

I hope that's mostly just an American tribal thing. I'm pro-vaccine, pro-ivermectin, pro-masks and pro-lockdowns. This is a serious disease and we need to use all the tools at our disposal. Being anti-ivermectin is like being anti-aspirin or anti-vitamin-C. Maybe you're emitting some kind of political virtue signal, but it's almost (but not quite) as dumb as being anti-vax. We don't have RCTs on vitamin C vs COVID-19 but most practitioners use it anyways.

I too am pro-vaccine, pro-ivermectin, pro-masks and pro-lockdowns.

Am also pro-socialdistancing, pro-vitamins, and risk mgmt around patients based on their age and risk factors

HCQ, Ivermectin, Fapavir, or IV antivirals like Remdesivir - support all of their use for stopping the scourge, as prescribed by doctors.
