If the journalism on this subject from someone (not myself) who is a lead author of a paper in "Nature" (albeit, > 20 years ago), PhD in Pathology from Duke University, former pharma exec, and currently, journalist and not-well-known media personality, might interest you, check these links:

tldr; While the exposure that the Gideon M-K article does is fascinating and seems to expose a large fraud, there's a lot more evidence for ivermectin's purported efficacy.

Yeah, while it's disheartening to see that this research may have been fabricated a sizable amount, it also appears that places that may have leant on this information to justify using ivermectin look to now have a strong correlation between its rollout time and a reduction in cases and deaths from covid19.

To me it looks like FLCCC is nothing but an Ivermectin marketing agency.

Why market Ivermectin? It's not even under patent.

Use the principle of charity - if you were a doctor who believed the data supporting ivermectin use against covid, as both treatment and preventive measure, and believed that the data suggested covid could be eradicated if the whole world went on it for 30 days, would you not also be yelling "hey, everybody, I think there's something important here!?"
