And it does nothing, absolutely nothing, to prevent or treat COVID infections.
I didn't say it did. What I pushed back on was the (wildly incorrect) slam on the drug as being solely a "horse dewormer". It's not.
The claim was driven largely by Joe Rogan, not Trump.
For once in *your* life, make coherent arguments backed by actual facts. Here - let's let Gemini do its thing:
Joe Rogan mentioned ivermectin as a potential COVID-19 treatment long before Donald Trump ever publicly spoke about it (and Trump rarely, if ever, directly promoted ivermectin himself).
Timeline BreakdownJoe Rogan (June 2021 & September 2021):
June 2021: Rogan hosted Dr. Pierre Kory on The Joe Rogan Experience (Episode #1671), where Kory heavily promoted ivermectin as a "miracle drug" for COVID-19.
September 2021: Rogan posted a video after testing positive for COVID-19, stating he took a cocktail of treatments including monoclonal antibodies and ivermectin.
Donald Trump:
Donald Trump's primary focus regarding alternative or unproven COVID-19 treatments during his presidency (2020) was hydroxychloroquine. Trump frequently promoted hydroxychloroquine during White House briefings in early-to-mid 2020. He did not champion ivermectin during his term in office.
The popular association of Trump with ivermectin often stems from general media commentary lumping together early, unproven therapies favored by right-leaning figures, but hydroxychloroquine was Trump's focus, while ivermectin was heavily popularized by Joe Rogan and guests on his podcast.
You'll do better on this board facing people like me if you stop parroting left wing talking points and step into the arena with your own, defensible ideas and fact patterns. Otherwise you're just more roadkill like all the other libs.
