There were at least a dozen stories on this stuff that made the frontpage: https://hn.algolia.com/?q=ivermectin https://hn.algolia.com/?q=ivermectin, including such gems as “wonder drug continues to surprise and exceed expectations” (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27778458 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27778458) and “No bigger story in the world: why are journalists not covering Ivermectin” (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27329461 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27329461).
The comments on the top story, getting 300+ votes, are also a sight to behold: ‘I truly hope in the coming years the censorship of this topic will be the catalyst for allowing free speech to prevail on social media.“ (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27562412 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27562412). Also: “Please do not spread fake news. All current vaccines are less than 1% effective.”
Let’s see if the people who read those stories get a chance to see the correction, as well.

The Nobel prize for Ivermectin has not been retracted. The 2017 paper preceded therapeutic debates of 2020 or 2021.
