Ivermectin is a very good dewormer! Most 2020 crap studies were easy to make because ivermectin was already distributed to big populations as a dewormer.

I'm the guy that every time someone calls it a good horse dewormer I reply: "And a good human dewormer too!"

The media knowingly repeated “horse dewormer” because it made people they don’t like look dumb.

People were literally buying horse dewormer when their doctors wouldn't prescribe it for them. "Influencers" were selling it. So the media were being accurate. To the extent that this made people look dumb, the intent was mostly to shame them into trying something more effective.
