As far as I know Scott was the first person to suggest the "worm theory" (parasites) and no study has shown that to be the case. Unless some new body of Ivermectin research has come out that I'm unaware of, then you're misrepresenting current medical opinion by a long shot.

I don't know if he is the first person to suggest it, but you are incorrect that there is no published research supporting it. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2790173#:~:text=Importance%20A%20widely%20cited%20meta,appropriate%20interpretation%20of%20this%20analysis https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle....
- dekhn 4y agoDoctors were discussing the idea in Grand Rounds at UCSF a couple years ago. I can't find the recording right now.
- dekhn 4y agoIf it bothers you that Scott was the first person you saw raise that, you can ignore that part. However, I work at a biotech and regularly consult with scientists and doctors about COVID treatments, and several of them mentioned that possibility as being a potential explanation some time ago. Is it really important for you to be "right" here? I am not attempting to misreprent medical opinion, just give an insight into their current thinking.
