Ivermectin & other controversial treatments

The mainstream consensus is that ivermectin has no benefit for Covid, discourages vaccination, &

poisons people. Right wing groups claim it is a suppressed cure. In the middle is a diverse community of health professionals, researchers, & independently minded people with a wide spectrum of different views. We are here for that community. We take no position on it’s efficacy. We agree unsupported claims & misuse are causing harm. We are pro-vaccine & pro-inquiry on vaccine side-effects. We curate informed posts on all sides of the ivermectin controversy. If there is a 10% chance that ivermectin had a 10% benefit for some Covid patients, it merits objective study, especially for the millions of people around the world without vaccine access.
