        I think Twitter figured out a new marketing strategy here... Ivermectin, might as well show a horse ad.pic.twitter.com/vCsm2mdezS

        I'm sceptical about ivm, esp. some claims such as "look at Africa" ( (low obesity/youth/low reporting). However, if, as Israeli study claims, early ivm treatment can reduce hospitalisation in a area with covid spike and low vaccination, surely it should be further tested.

        People like thinking they know the secret. That they’re above the basic normies following basic normie advice. By definition the successful, the best and brightest, aren’t normal. So to be the best, you have to be different.

        People like to think that only they and a select few others are perceptive enough to peer beyond the veil. To look at what “they” don’t want you to know about… it gives people a sense of agency. Well, at least that’s my humble (completely uninformed) opinion.

        I found this review of anti-viral properties of anti-parasitic drugs and was surprised that there have been + effects in vitro. Not an expert, but is it often that in vitro shows promise but in vivo is inconclusive?https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7928734/ …

        Yep. I believe it's around 1 in 25 drugs that shows promise in vitro that is eventually effective enough to be licensed for a treatment

        It's free, and people still don't want it. I think the government is terrible at advertising, and made some huge own goals. Not the list like acting vaccination didn't do a thing, still masking, distancing, etc etc
