In many many countries Ivermectin is sold OTC in your neighborhood pharmacy alongside the aspirin, decongestants, etc.



If you've been paying attention, the opposition is highly suspicious.

Everything from "it's horse medicine" to "it's misinformation" etc. And yet, nothing about actual treatments. We're just supposed to keep taking booster shots for eternity, when something 100x cheaper may work too and may prevent it. Why wouldn't we investigate that with an open mind?

Like, do they want people to turn into big pharma conspiracy theorists?

My pet theory is that pro-vax and anti-vax are mirror images now. The pro camp gets its kicks from laughing at the naive antis, the same way the antis think they are so much smarter than the populace.

It is not science, it's science-fandom. And they are indeed useful idiots for big pharma, which convinced countries to take full responsibility for the long term effects.
