Okay, I'm going to clear up a bit because "they're not using it" is basically a conspiracy theory itself. I think your response doesn't address the question, contradicts itself, and is poorly communicated because of the use of emotional/political buzzwords.
- On August 13th, 2021 The chairman of the Tokyo Medical Association approved the use of ivermectin for covid if a patient gives informed consent and asks to use it. See: https://www.tokyo-np.co.jp/article/123988 https://www.tokyo-np.co.jp/article/123988
So, at least the Tokyo Medical Association in Japan has approved the use of it. Does that mean it's a standard treatment for covid? No, but it does mean that some tens of thousands of doctors in Japan are making it available.
- India stopped using it. That's accurate, and I had no idea this happened because I wasn't following it too closely, but the insinuation is: Well, they clearly were using it. How does that gel with "those are Ivermectin conspiracy talking points" and "I'm still stunned by how these rumors continue to circulate as facts"?
- Brazil, as you concede, is still using ivermectin to treat covid. I agree it's a mixed vibe over there. But again, how does this gel with "they're not using it", "those are Ivermectin conspiracy talking points", and "I'm still stunned by how these rumors continue to circulate as facts"?
- Finally, you forgot about most of latin america, where they continue to use ivermectin. See: https://english.elpais.com/international/2022-02-18/ivermectins-bumpy-ride-through-latin-america.html https://english.elpais.com/international/2022-02-18/ivermect...
So, can you answer the actual question? I'm not interested in what you think is a conspiracy theory. And well shit, I guess I answered the question myself with that last article I linked; it looks like it's a hedge or hopeful shot in the dark. Imagine all the problems we could avoid if you could just say that?
