I don’t think I’ve seen anybody “knocking” scientists looking into whether ivermectin works. In fact, most ivermectin skeptics _welcome_ that.

What I have seen is the knocking of people who claim that ivermectin is a wonder drug; or that the government is deliberately holding back ivermectin to prolong the pandemic; or that paxlovid etc. are just “big Pharma ivermectin”.

Those people are right to be “knocked”, because they’re pushing an agenda and aren’t just wrong, but they aren’t interested in the truth at all.
