    If ivermectin does turn out to have a modest benefit (and imo that's the most likely outcome) it will still have been WILD that so many have promoted it as a miracle cure based on woeful evidence

        If the HCQ has shown nothing, it's the absolute nonsense of the argument "it probably isn't harmful and it might help, GIVE IT TO EVERYONE"

        100s of millions took HCQ across the globe to treat Covid-19, and we now know that this may have actually killed quite a large number of people You can't base treatment decisions on hope and sunshine, because that way leads to serious harm

        Hopefully ivermectin works. But if it does, it is not a victory for people who took atrociously bad research and waved it as a flag to promote their favorite medication

        Ivermectin has been shown to have no benefit for COVID-19. Repeatedly. In good studies. Case closed.

        If ivermectin has some benefit, I wonder if some people will refuse it because of who has promoted it so far. And then those who promoted it without evidence will claim victory and credibility and potentially push other drugs.

        Why would anyone turn down a drug that works based on who promoted it? If it works, it works.

        Imagine taking a deworming agent because you didn’t know what’s in those vaccines and the FDA hasn’t approved them. 🤦‍♀️
