If that drug was so ineffective then why was the establishment going so out of their way to claim that?
no ivermectin kills parasites. covid hardly ever kills anyone, less than 1%. when it does it's because the person is unhealthy with comorbidities, often parasites. So if one gets ivermectin before they get covid or shortly after it can save them.
This is the smart person rationalization for naively believing the drug companies' lies.
The huge amount of evidence shows ivermectin works if taken before or immediately after being exposed and they need some way to explain why they believed the propaganda that it didn't work at all.
So in their mind it's "the 3rd world is full of dirty, parasite-infected people and stupid researchers too dumb to know that" vs "it only works early because it's a weak protease inhibitor and the drug companies lied to me and I fell for it like a rube". There's way more evidence of the latter, but the former means they don't have to admit fault. And nobody wants to admit they were wrong - take dekachin for example.
people in first world have just as many parasites if not more because everyone has a cat or dog that shits, or knows someone that does. don't knee jerk take it as an insult
