I'm not against a drug at all. I'm merely saying it's a physician's decision on whether to prescribe. The fact that most don't is not evidence of any conspiracy.

Here is what I know:

Ivermectin was distributed in the slums of Brazil.

Those that received it were typically not getting Covid, even though their neighbors and friends, that used the same facilities, transit, markets, etc., were being hammered.

The WHO suggested redirecting funding from distributing Ivermectin to “combat“ Covid.

The cases of Covid began to climb exponentially.

The WHO said their decision had nothing to do with this spike and called the Ivermectin info anecdotal and dismissed any possible link to lower caseloads to its usage (ambulatory or prophylactic care).

The NIH plans a study. Unfortunately, DURING A PANDEMIC, they weren’t able to find any patients. As such, the study was pulled.

Central Africa seems relatively unbothered by Covid as compared to the rest of the world. This observation is totally ignored.

An Aussie team does a study, published it, gets shot for it, is discredited, pulls the study, then gets a shite ton of funding for other studies by the WHO set al. (because obviously shifty researchers deserved to be given money for stuff other than Covid research).

The NIH finally does a study. Shockingly, very sick people given Ivermectin still somehow died. They then tell doctors that they cannot use Ivermectin to treat Covid until more studies are done.

India gets hit with Covid (Delta). The areas using Ivermectin with doxycycline as a prophylactic seem spared of the worst cases of Covid. These observations are shite on because it was India.

The spike declines, and the comparable data is easy to see.

The WHO steps in and tells India to stop using Ivermectin to treat any future Covid outbreaks.

The NIH finally allows Covid for treatment. Their change in protocol was on page 17 of a report (basically buried). Most doctors seem unaware of the change in treatment protocol now available to them. As such, using “horse paste” is not a realistic option for many.

People use Ivermectin bought at tractor supply etc.

Poison control receives a bunch of calls (much like VAERS...something that is unsubstantiated and can easily manipulated).

The MSM and social media go full on a full court press to dismiss the drug.

Here we are, having people shite on any possible link to a positive outcome.

Again, I’m not saying that the drug is effective.
The anecdotal observations seem to give the drug some semblance of effectiveness as a prophylactic or when administered early on.

What I’m saying is that it makes no sense not to use it for ambulatory care...even if it is only as a placebo.

“Conspiracy theory“ or not, what I laid out above seems odd to me.

Lastly, I am not anti-vaxx. I would strongly suggest that if you are 60 or older, and / or have health issues, and have not previously had Covid, then you should be getting vaccinated. Everybody else should make a decision based on their own circumstances.

Just my .02.

TLDR

Doctors are basically going by what the NIH put forth first...don’t use Ivermectin to treat Covid. I would argue that most are unaware that the NIH has changed their stance.
