    I will say that this confuses me too! I am flummoxed by all the fraud, all I can do is look at the facts and the facts are that it happened 🤷‍♂️https://twitter.com/cliftonaduncan/status/1434909668149760000 …

    As the debate over IVM rages on, still nobody will answer why a bunch of doctors would go against the grain, risk their reputations and careers, and vigorously campaign for a safe drug that they'll make no money from.

        Would it confuse you that some of the same have been doing so for decades? claiming it's a treatment for everything.

        Some are profiting though. Some monetarily and others with attention. The others, unsure but tribal affiliation seems to be main thing. Doesn't make it a good reason but it's def happening.

        Some people are narcissists or otherwise sociopathic? Some high functioning people do things that are just not susceptible to logic and don’t make sense to more “normal” people.

        Don't you consider it possible that they saw genuine first hand evidence, and the RCTs will eventually parse out a limited positive effect?

        It's plausible, but if there are real benefits you don't commit fraud at this scale so I'm quite skeptical
