Ivermectin is out of patent protection so whether it is effective or not (I don’t know, and won’t believe everything I read including replies here), there is huge PR machinery geared up against it from companies that stand to profit from newer, patented, alternatives.
- andreskytt 5y agoYou assert “there is” but do you have any concrete facts? Also, why wouldn’t there be an equally huge PR machinery from the insurance companies fighting for it as, by definition, they stand to loose as much from the use of alternatives?
- tbrownaw 5y agoUm, insurance companies aren't going to care how expensive the thing being insured against is. Their individual customers might, but the basic idea of insurance is more about averaging costs out to be more predictable. They shouldn't have any exposure to general price levels, just to how variable things are.
