I like the one that considered the additional factor of people just having invasive worms in them already, especially those living in squalor in the heavily Republican southeast. American healthcare is such that this would never be tested for until it becomes a problem, when your immune system is strained by other things the worms become a burden to your body. COVID is that other thing. So taking Ivermectin kills the worms as it was designed to do and this results in the body being able to focus just on fighting COVID. Given the "improved outcomes" being such low percentages to begin with, that fits pretty well to the distribution of the population that maybe have worms. So they say, "aha ivermectin did it, big pharma doesn't want you to know!" despite ivermectin being big pharma and just not being in on the conspiracy club so then the other camp tries to do a controlled study of just covid patients and finds no link. their headline says "no link found, not recommended" of course, because they're John Hopkins instead of their next door neighbor, this is just a symptom of the conspiracy theory and leftist institutions. but beyond that, it is a symptom of Republicans feeling accurately underserved by those institutions. There is an obsession with pointing out how dumb someone is, instead of empathizing and doing the additional study. "ah I see how you reached that conclusion, a bunch of people have been in a symbiotic relationship with parasites the whole time!"
