But again, it's something about the elitist nature in which that was handled that has now created this terminal effect of ivermectin is a cause celeb for, I mean, pretty soon someone's going to say it cures Alzheimer's disease, I'm sure.

To me, that's heartbreaking because the answer should have been, I talked about this with Joe very openly on his podcast. I said, look, I've looked at all the RCTs of ivermectin and COVID. There's no signal, except my memory could be off on this, but there's a little signal in this Brazilian trial, but the methodology of that trial was horrible. So I have to believe this is not working.

When they don't, we have to move on. By demonizing it and by demonizing the people that felt it might work, we find ourselves in a situation right now where it's very irrational.
