Jimmy Dore championed Ivermectin last year, to name one. Everyone on that list is a bit of a quack, imo.

  The NIH says that although it's not approved for COVID, more trials are needed for Ivermectin: https://www.covid19treatmentguidelines.nih.gov/therapies/antiviral-therapy/ivermectin/ https://www.covid19treatmentguidelines.nih.gov/therapies/ant... "[The] Panel recommends against the use of ivermectin for the treatment of COVID-19, except in a clinical trial (AIIa). Additional adequately powered, well-designed, and well-conducted trials are needed to evaluate the effect of ivermectin on COVID-19" So in other words, it has been approved for clinical trials, which are ongoing. So how does believing in its efficacy make him a "quack"? That characterization is more inline with the highly misleading, and in some cases outright false, stories about ivermectin being "horse dewormer".

    All of the properly done trials have already shown no effect. That statement is them saying "It's not dangerous, so we won't recommend against trials, but you would need to do more studies to prove it's effective, because the current data shows that it's not." I have no idea who half the people you're talking about above are, but anyone who says Ivermectin works is either being lied to or lying to you.
