If you pinpoint it down to the specific issue of ivermectin efficacy against covid, I don't know. My impression is the evidence is mixed. Study results have gone both ways, and the latest one is preliminary afaik and has some possibly major limitations. But it stuns me that leftists can be so smug in the broader context of covid response. For two years, Dems have been the party of "If it saves just one life" ... we have to destroy society.

The ivermectin controversy is more largely about medical tyranny. The left thirsts for government monopolization of health care -- not because they particularly care about poor people, but because they want to shut out their political enemies from basic functions of life. You call it a conspiracy theory, I call it a spoiler alert.
I don't think there is much controversy in terms of Ivermectin's prophylactic capabilities against Covid (and not that you wrote that there was) - but for treatment of an existing infection by itself and not as part of a compound therapy, drawing the conclusion that it doesn't work by itself would be foolhardy, and it amazes me that the left-leaning are shutting the door on it.
