But dexamethasone is a cheap, plentiful drug that big pharma doesn't make a lot of money on too, and it actually works in #COVID19 patients. So why all the evidence-resistant conspiracy cult love for #HydroxyChloroquine and #Ivermectin but none for dexamethasone?

Because "big
@PhRMA " has been demonstrated to selectively publish trial data. As I tell my children, if you act like a liar, people wil be inclined to not belive you. Works the same for multi- trillion dollar industries, journalists, politicians, and medical doctors alike.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

I think it’s the false promise that the drugs would end the pandemic, even more than that, the political aspect and their heavy promotion by Trump and various online crackpots whom those drugs’ adherents look up to as thought leaders

A key component is the drug has to be ineffective to be worshipped by the cult. Part of it is anti-science reflexicism, but another part is a show of faith to the leader in spite of contrary evidence. Trump hyped Remdesivir the same time as HCQ. The cult only latched onto HCQ.

You recently asked, "what will replace Ivermectin, when it is no longer fun to promote?" I guess Artemisinin, but a comment on a youtube video caught my eye. Some guy claims that Amantadine is a wonder drug for covid, says: "they use it all over Europe with success".
