It was started by some batshit foolish South African farmers around December 2020 who give ivermectin to animals regularly before hand, saw a bothced Egyptian scientific study saying that ivermectin can prevent or cure covid, and ran with it. They first published an article on it in January 2020, which I'll link below. (It's in Afrikaans, use Google translate and feel free to ask questions about the translation)
Since then the idea got popular in SA through Facebook groups linked to Afriforum, and eventually spread to US chuds though the online US chud-white SA farmer pipeline. Now it's everywhere

This isn't true, the paper that "started it all" is from June 2020 (linked in OP)
maybe they started the "horse paste" one, but the Ivermectin craze was well alive in Summer 2020, it just hadn't hit the mainstream yet. That was when I was looking into it to treat long-COVID
Yeah those were the scientific papers. A bunch of farmers didn't do scientific experiments, they were just the ones that pushed it into the mainstream by suing the South African government for not using ivermectin on humans, going on the big conservative news networks and social media though the US chuds - white SA farmer pipeline
Yeah, the scientific papers were just scientists investigating every way possible (except for the ones that appear to be fraudulent, but that's another discussion). The misrepresentation of the research and mainstreaming was done by SA farmer chuds

afrikaans is not a language in which science is permitted to be performed :very-smart:
