    I got added to a pro-ivermectin email chain which immediately devolved into anti-vaccine conspiracies based on misunderstandings of VAERS. The crossover is realhttps://twitter.com/MelissaLDavey/status/1417962964519329792 …

    The pro ivermectin crowd are utterly delusional. Why are they so invested in an unproven drug? Some of the links and ‘proof’ they’re sending me a child could see is fake. Websites linked to conspiracy theorists etc. It’s actually really sad and unhinged.

        There were a lot of people a year a go that were terrified and honestly looking for some kind of treatment for a dangerous illness. A lot of the pro ivermectin people don't want to relinquish their roles as possessors of secret valuable knowledge which requires being anti vax 1/

        Though maybe with vaccines failing against Delta they can be both pro vaccine and pro ivermectin.

        You find this a lot with the 'Down with science' brigade. You get it with climate science where the 'let's do nothing' advocates happily use contradicting arguments e.g. global temperatures aren't rising, global warming is occurring but its natural, warming is man made but good.

        The only revelation for me is that people are still doing email chains!

        You gotta love the cognitive dissonance of being invested in a unproven therapy but being opposed to vaccination (presumably in part because they would argue it's an unproven technology)

        Yep, at least on twitter. I found a couple of ivermectin activist falling into confirmatory bias thanks to the recent fraudulent article by Walach H in vaccines. they were sharing the article telling something like "we told you guys! look this study"https://twitter.com/victorfica4/status/1409600090810077185?s=20 …

        Como científico, es imposible q este contra investigar posibles tratamientos contra COVID19. Pero el tema ivermectina se ha transformado en trinchera ideológica. Es muy común ver q muchos d sus "activistas" tmb son antivax. Vean cómo caen con este fraudulento articulo de mdpi pic.twitter.com/GqoP7jiUpO
