I don’t think I’ve seen anybody “knocking” scientists looking into whether ivermectin works. In fact, most ivermectin skeptics _welcome_ that.
What I have seen is the knocking of people who claim that ivermectin is a wonder drug; or that the government is deliberately holding back ivermectin to prolong the pandemic; or that paxlovid etc. are just “big Pharma ivermectin”.
Those people are right to be “knocked”, because they’re pushing an agenda and aren’t just wrong, but they aren’t interested in the truth at all.
- lez 5y agoNobody is right to be "knocked", it's discourse and leaving alone each other's freedoms what could work. Same as with the russians: censoring "knocking" Russian media won't solve anything, just create a more pro-war society. Even the government has an agenda and not interested in the truth at all.
- skj 5y agoAre you knocking the knockers? No one is suggesting they be arrested. They're just being ridiculed.

What I have seen is the knocking of people who claim that ivermectin is a wonder drug That's because they did both, combined: "knocked down scientists looking into whether ivermectin works" by making them appear as claiming that "ivermectin is a wonder drug". Then they get to gloat that they just knocked down those deserving it, and to strawman them more, they say that "they weren’t interested in the truth at all".
- HL33tibCe7 5y agoWho is “they”? Can you point out where scientists researching ivermectin have been knocked? I certainly haven’t seen it in mainstream outlets, and I don’t even recall seeing it in scientific communities skeptical of ivermectin.
