      I've been wondering this myself for months. The whole conspiracy theory is that #HydroxyChloroquine and #Ivermectin are cheap, plentiful drugs that big pharma doesn't make money on, which is why evidence of their efficacy is "suppressed."https://twitter.com/RogueRad/status/1367825455882113026 …

      How is it that hydroxychloroquine & ivermectin created a cult that steroids never could? Is there a pharmacological explanation?

      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 the deep state uses roids but won't use the others therefore they work

          It’s the appeal of occult knowledge.

          Yes it is mind-boggling. Someone on Twitter insisted to me that a cult was "necessary" to promote HCQ because of the efforts to suppress it as a treatment... (🤯🙄) I think once you've bought in to these fantasies, it must be quite hard to get out.

          Maybe because it's already widely used for COVID and supported by most health care workers? Not sure. I don't know about the US but there are a small group of people here who manage to use dexamethasone as some proof of conspiracy, but that definitely did not last long.

          Our very smart President that made a perfect score on his MoCA test pushed the hydroxychloroquine because having a cure on hand was the easy way out of a hard situation.

          It's because Americans think medicine works like in the movies. Intrepid researcher finds a cure that everyone says won't work. Uses it on himself or age inappropriate love interest. Instant cure. Roll credits.

          Same reason why they don't believe it's a pandemic. They need dead bodies in the street, collected up in a wagon

          isn't a large part that steroids work/are used once someone is hospitalized? they aren't used to "prevent severe disease / hospitilization" like hydroxy and ivermectin supposedly were. i think its that they promised hypothetically (but wrongly ) to be a cureall before hospitilzat

          Dex doesn’t offer the fantasy of ending the pandemic. I see this all the time with biotech stocks. Some attract cult followings of retail investors. Some don’t. It’s often not clear why.

          True, but I've never quite understood why #HydroxyChloroquine and #Ivermectin do offer that fantasy, given the initial paucity of evidence and then the accumulating evidence that they don't work.
