Bring up Ivermectin on any lefty forum or platform, and you will immediately find yourself in a swamp of hate and censorship. Why is that? You would think that we would all be interested in a drug that is cheap, safe, and effective. I suspect big pharma use their billions to hire shills that attack anyone who dares to suggest that a cheap, safe, and effective drug could be a viable alternative to their cash-cow vaccines. But I also think there's more to it than just profits. It's also about power.
Leftists are obsessed with dominating and dictating people's lives. They hate the idea of self determination and freedom of choice, except when it suits them. Ivermectin, which is readily available and cheap, puts control of healthcare in the hands of the people, not some bureaucrat or "health professional." I think that they hate rapid testing for the same reason. If you can quickly and accurately determine whether or not you're sick, then maybe a vaccine is not needed, and you get to decide which one you prefer. Can't have that. This is why I think there's so much push back against Ivermectin and other readily available remedies, vitamins, and supplements. It's not just about health and the lost profits for Big Pharma. Ivermectin wrestles power away from institutional bureaucracy and puts it squarely in the hands of the individual. An abhorrent idea to those who would rather have you in chains.
To get rushed approval for the experimental vaccines, there could be no remedial alternatives on hand (e.g. hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin). This is why these were and still are demonized. The corporate news media is doing the bidding of Big Government and Big Pharma, and Big Tech is lending a hand.
Monoclonal antibody therapies, the aforementioned drugs, and natural immunity: these have been downplayed because hundreds of billions of dollars are at stake.

This isn't hard. It helps... a little. It's not a solution in itself, but it has almost no side effects at clinical doses. It's not a magic pill, and it's not used exclusively for horse deworming either. It's somewhere in between what the people on this sub believe, and what the crazy leftists think.
Simple: it's not effective, and hence a distraction from finishing the pandemic.
Also not effective. You know what is effective?
The only way the pandemic ends is this thing circulates through enough of the population and it mutates itself into a relatively harmless variant.
The government can't legislate it's way out of a pandemic.
Finishing the pandemic? Come back when you've taken your booster shot. Just one more will do the trick
The war on COVID will probably last as least as long as the War on Drugs or the War on Terror.
Any coherent counter arguments or just ad-hominem attacks?
The guy he replied to offered no argument either. Payment in kind.
Except he did. Guess I have to provide the link

Keep taking your fucking supplements and ivermectin daily, I don't give a shit I'm just tired of the fucking whining about 'muh plandemic' 24/7 on here.
