I think that crowd will hate on this new drug. It's from Big Pharma, very expensive, it's probably full of GMOs and brain-controlling chips from Bill Gates. They'll stick with their cheap, generic ivermectin.

In Poland the "wonder drug" was amantadine and the "martyr" was dr Bodnar.

No they won’t. conspiracy theories are based on instincts and emotions not any science or rationality. pills are basically just food(=good) to the subconscious lizard brain, zero negative connotations from evolution, zero conspiracy theories

  But if that were an iron truth, wouldn't people be comfortable with GMOs?

    GMO’s is emotional, largely based on the public image around the word ”mutant” meaning a hulk like green person that was irradiated by a James Bond villain etc

      Or maybe spraying roundup on everything and suing small family farms for not using your GMO seed makes them the James Bond villain. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2013/feb/12/monsanto-sues-farmers-seed-patents https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2013/feb/12/monsanto...

  Except that they are both potent protease inhibitors. Other than that, you mean?

    Why would a parasite drug have protease inhibition properties? Parasites don’t have protease enzymes
    - pjkundert 5y ago
      That’s why it was spectacularly interesting to begin with! Why would an anti parasitic drug exhibit any measurable response? Yet, it did. That is when I realized that science was, if not dead, then severely wounded. No interest at all, from the “scientific” people. Now, it turns out we probably know why; it happened to (probably accidentally) be a potent protease inhibitors - and that happened to be important. We could have found this out a year ago, and begun exploiting this attack vector. But, no: everyone who found this interesting and worthy of further study was derided and threatened with job losses. What a shit-show.
