Ivermectin propaganda — This is an example of propaganda that promotes ivermectin as a cure for COVID-19. In this case, the cartoon proudly appropriates the "horse dewormer" memes used by ivermectin critics to mock the drug. Too bad that it's looking more and more as though all the data supporting ivermectin's efficacy against COVID-19 is highly biased and/or fraudulent.

Ivermectin is the new hydroxychloroquine, a drug repurposed for COVID-19 that almost certainly doesn’t work but is still being touted as a “miracle cure” by quacks, grifters, and political ideologues. Are the data supporting it all fraudulent and/or biased? The answer, increasingly, appears to be yes.

Ivermectin has been hyped without good evidence as a highly effective treatment for COVID-19. One major “positive” ivermectin study was shown to be likely fraudulent. Now others are looking dicey.
