The whole issue, and that article itself is politicized. So much so, that it is hard to find medical information on it, with the rampant flagging of articles, and "disinformation" labels being thrown around. The article saying that Ivermectin alone is the Flyover Country treatment plan is a misstatement at best, deceptive at worst. The Establishment is pushing vaccines for everyone, or, almost everyone starting from 18 and older, unless you have an allergy to vaccine ingredients. Flyover Country, and some other countries, are pushing treatments using a cocktail of drugs, suggesting vaccines only for high-risk population. Why can't we have some honesty about this? I'd much rather having some open discussions about the pros and cons of each, standard of care around treatments, and which vaccines are best for which populations given the known side effects, than this continual stream of missinformation.

When did medical science become a plebian democracy? I don't expect to be consulted about the material they make the seat-belt in my car out of. It's politicised because calling it anti-science would bruise some egos. This is not a political disagreement, this is an arbitrary anti-science conspiracy put forward by anti-vaxxers. The only reason it's "political" is because all the people who are questioning science just happened to vote for the same president. And if you think the entire system is broken and needs pulling down, now is quite possibly the worst time in the history of humanity to do so.

The scientific method is all about questions. Science is a process, not an ideological orthodoxy. I support both distancing, vaccinations and treatment protocols that include antivirals such as HCQ, Ivermectin, and Remdesivir. Why? Because the latest science on clinical outcomes from drug cocktails show better outcomes through use of antivirals, immunomodulators, anticoagulants, vitamins, and many other drugs. It is an evolving field.
