I’m always interested how the group that believes the science on the vaccine was rushed & insufficient is convinced the science is conclusive on Ivermectin (or whatever the present month’s flavor happens to be.) Yeah, I know- India’s case rate dropped. End of story, right? Sure, as long as the only data points you look at are India’s approval of a Ivermectin & their case rate trend. You can’t isolate for variables like lockdown & mask mandates. You can’t look at countries in South America that have been using it much longer & still experiencing infection spikes regardless.
Is the India timeline interesting? Yes. Worthy of further investigation? Sure. But that science hasn’t been done yet. I’m talking peer reviewed, double blind, by reputable researchers with supporting studies & broad acceptance by the scientific community. Saying “A happened then B followed” isn’t conclusive, and it isn’t science. It’s a hypothesis. As obvious as you believe your common sense conclusions to be, you’re only looking at what you can see; and any number of unseen factors can be distorting your view. There is a process for determining causality, and without that process you’re just guessing.
