So "moving the goalposts" is a strategy that anti-vaxxers have been known to employ to try to stay relevant.
The first posts about Ivermectin claimed it itself was a miracle drug. One major retraction later, apparently now it only works when taken with hydroxychloroquine, or whatever new drug cocktail is supposed to make it work.
When that's disproven, it will be it needs to be taken 6 months before infection or whatever new drug needs to be taken, and the goal posts keep getting pushed back.
What's worse is this style of "dying-on-your-hill" argumentation prevents people from actually getting the vaccine. It's more important to be right these days, then for people to be vaccinated.
