I can sort of wrap my mind around the ivermectin stuff, if I squint my eyes and assume good faith, then there are no prophylactic drugs against covid like, at all. The only way to avoid severe disease is vaccines which are woefully lacking everywhere except the first world, so having a readily available drug, outside of patent that can diminish symptoms however slightly is a good hopeful thing to cling onto, and if you subscribe to the notion that beautiful miracles can exist and ivermectin is one of them, then it seem like big pharma is dynamiting the third world's only shot at not filling their graveyards, especially when vaccines represent so much money for big pharma's bottom line.

It seems we're way past that now, though and I think they're doubling down on something that is very very obviously wrong.
