My post had nothing to do with vaccines.


Vaccines aren't going to end the pandemic. They may be the solution to preventing most deaths, but COVID is still spreading rapidly in highly-vaccinated populations as breakthrough cases are becoming more and more common. Fauci recently stated that vaccines AND therapeutics will be required to end the pandemic. So why is Ivermectin being crapped on so much? It's fine if you are 100% behind the vaccines. Fauci originally the vaccines would be required to end the pandemic, but now he's saying therapeutics will also be necessary. So if we need therapeutics, why does no one seem to want to do research to find out if Ivermectin, a cheap and extremely safe existing drug with decades of history, is effective? It makes zero sense to me.

I get labeled a conspiracy theorist, which is find - I don't care what anyone on this message board or anywhere else on the internet thinks about me - but explain to me what the doctors like Marick and Kory stand to gain by putting their reputations on the line to tout Ivermectin's efficacy? As far as I can tell, they gain nothing by being labeled kooks and quacks. So why are they so adamant in their beliefs? These are extremely well-respected doctors, not some backwoods chiropractors that practice alternative medicine. The fact that they just get blown off completely boggles my mind.
