That's not the argument though. Listen to the segment. Giving people false hope and baseless medical advice is one thing, but the anti-ivermectin crowd was going overboard including amplifying specious stories about rampant ivermectin poisoning. Ivermectin is absolutely prescribed to humans for some conditions and is being actively studied as an anti-viral agent against other illnesses (notably dengue and yellow fever). Doctors can prescribe it to patients unable to be vaccinated within their discretion. The debate here is that you can't counter one form of misinformation with your own or else nobody is credible.
- rualca 5y ago> That's not the argument though. It's not the argument? It is a statement of fact. There is no way around it. Consuming a placebo to subsequently validate and provide incentives to put yourself and others at risk is the whole reason why Ivermectin poses a major problem. No one complains that people take paracetamol even though it is not effective at reducing Covid19 spread. Why is that?
- tootie 5y agoJust listen to it. It is absolutely not about advocating in favor of ivermectin. It is about very wrong information spread against ivermectin as a response to the misinformation spread in favor of it.
