This seems needlessly conspiratorial. Dexamethasone’s utility in treating Covid-19 was found by a top-notch RCT (Recovery). It is also quite cheap. ‘Pharm’ (presumably you mean scientists sceptical of ivermectin) made no noise about that.

It's a miracle that the Recovery RCT showed any statistical significant benefit, due to the low doses and the short durations that were used there. After that RCT, and even a year later, health authorities are still recommending the same anaemic doses, despite evidence showing that pulsing higher doses of methylprednisolone saves lives in severe cases. https://youtu.be/LkIKCbwBcLU?t=822 https://youtu.be/LkIKCbwBcLU?t=822
