That’s dishonest. Ivermectin is widely prescribed to people too. That’s like calling Ibuprofen a horse anti-inflammatory drug. That doesn’t mean it was an effective covid treatment though. The information from the third world that made it appear like it was seems to have been that it was treating preexisting parasites in covid patients, eliminating a comorbidity and thereby improving covid survival rates. But undiagnosed parasites are rare in the US, so that wouldn’t have worked here.

Well, let’s post a deepfake about some left strawman and watch him find the time pronto.

Ivermectin has scientific evidence behind it. But I can't say that without accruing downvotes, I suppose

Scientific evidence as a topical treatment for skin conditions!

The data suggesting that it might help treat COVID came from India... where intestinal worms are common.

So of course it looked like it worked when you're actually solving a different problem.

It would help your argument, if you actually pointed to that evidence, rather than just claiming it.
