This tying rat poison to Warfarin’s success and assuming it is true for ivermectin is the correlational fallacy also known as cum hoc ergo propter hoc (Lat., “with this therefore because of this”). This fallacy happens when you mistakenly interpret two things found together as being causally related. Two things may correlate without a causal relation, or they may have some third factor causing both of them to occur. Or perhaps both things just, coincidentally, happened together. Correlation doesn’t prove causation.

Very good. That and post hoc ergo propter hoc covers a lot of ground...
