Democrats and MSM demonized Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine because they were established and cheap so they couldn’t make a profit on them. The alt-far-left-communist-democRATs also hate American babies which is why they are trying to eradicate them. I read an article over at NewsBusters about a large donor to that cause, “Buffett Foundation Gave $196M to Abortion Org Over 17 Years”, so give that a look. Almost 12 million dollars a year to kill our kids while importing foreign kids = a special place in hell for Warren. The left always accuses us of what they are guilty of themselves, such as hating babies and old people (see nursing home deaths since 2020). It’s the Alinsky way.
Another reason for dismissing Ivermectin is that if there was a viable treatment, then the vaccine emergency status would not have been allowed.
Even after all this time, the medical community will not come up with a workable treatment regimen except go home, wait until you are sick enough to be hospitalized, then get a hospital bed with some Remdesivir on the side, eventually be put on a ventilator, and if you don't come out of it, then die.
