    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

    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
