Here's an interesting tale regarding ivermectin and YouTube, and, by extension, most journalists' and news outlets' selective reporting.
This article contains a little piece of historic, verifiable fact.
Kory was referring to an FDA-approved medicine called Ivermectin. A genuine wonder drug in other realms, Ivermectin has all but eliminated parasitic diseases like river blindness and elephantiasis, helping discoverer Satoshi Omura win the Nobel Prize in 2015.
To quote Johnny Carson, "I did not know that." (AT readers learned about it last February, though).
The avermectin family of compounds was discovered by Satoshi Ōmura of Kitasato University and William Campbell of Merck. In 1970, Ōmura isolated unusual Streptomyces bacteria from the soil near a golf course along the south east coast of Honshu, Japan. Ōmura sent the bacteria to William Campbell, who showed that the bacterial culture could cure mice infected with the roundworm Heligmosomoides polygyrus. Campbell isolated the active compounds from the bacterial culture, naming them "avermectins" and the bacterium Streptomyces avermitilis for the compounds' ability to clear mice of worms (in Latin: a 'without', vermis 'worms'). Of the various avermectins, Campbell's group found the compound "avermectin B1" to be the most potent when taken orally. They synthesized modified forms of avermectin B1 to improve its pharmaceutical properties, eventually choosing a mixture of at least 80% 22,23-dihydroavermectin B1a and up to 20% 22,23-dihydroavermectin B1b, a combination they called "ivermectin".

Ivermectin is widely used in rural parts of the world as a livestock dewormer. It’s highly effective, and sadly when this crap started, it started becoming difficult to find in local feed stores. People were buying up and stockpiling livestock-grade ivermectin. Thankfully stocks have recovered, but I doubt taking the livestock gel orally will rid the user of COVID.
I swear I’ve read Freepers saying livestock Ivermectin would cure covid and give the ratios to use.
It’s the same stuff. I’ve never argued it’s ineffective, but the instructions for livestock are based on livestock weights. You have to be very careful about dosing.
**We see here a tale of two human systems: global cooperation ...to help the whole world, opposed by a group of control sociopaths who hide and pervert truth. I ask: why, and to what end?**
The COVID-19 virus was engineered and released by a consortium of lunatic Marxists for the purpose of providing an excuse for their American Marxist allies to subvert the American election process and forcibly install Marxists into offices of authority over Americans.
While the original, unusual bacterium was found in Japan, all the work to isolate the active compound and make it available to the world was done in New Jersey, USA, in a U.S. pharmaceutical company (Merck).
This product was then used for fifty years by millions of people, mostly in the poorer parts of the world, with a vicious, debilitating disease, with minimal side effects.
Ivermectin’s patent has expired decades ago, so Merck can’t make money of it anymore. There are now numerous manufacturers of this drug.
Now in the midst of the Covid pandemic, Merck is actively discouraging Ivermectin for Covid-19. Many are suspecting that it is because Merck is developing another drug specifically for Covid which they can patent ( and maybe receive government money for billions of dollars ) — MOLNUPIRAVIR. This drug is in Phase III studies and is reported to be effective in protecting and treating Covid patients in the early stages of the disease ( suspiciously similar to the actions of Ivermectin ).
