People are constantly asking me about all of the ivermectin fraud, and why people have concocted all of these terrible pieces of research I don't litigate intentions. People do things for many possible reasons. That being said, some thoughts

2. Belief. Some of the authors we've spoken to appear to earnestly, deeply believe ivermectin works. I can see how that might drive someone to disbelieve their own research evidence

(Whether this would drive them to entirely make up studies is obviously questionable, but it's still an interesting point. Most of the fake studies seem to have come from true believers)

3. Anti-establishment sentiment. There does appear to be a deep well of distrust of authority for all of the people who have published really shoddy research on ivermectin, which is fascinating

The one explanation I don't think is likely at all is monetary. There's no vast conspiracy here, no weird connection, it is just a bunch of really terrible research that no one should've ever used as evidence
