What I have seen is the knocking of people who claim that ivermectin is a wonder drug; or that the government is deliberately holding back ivermectin to prolong the pandemic; or that paxlovid etc. are just “big Pharma ivermectin”.
Those people are right to be “knocked”, because they’re pushing an agenda and aren’t just wrong, but they aren’t interested in the truth at all.
Even the government has an agenda and not interested in the truth at all.
That's because they did both, combined: "knocked down scientists looking into whether ivermectin works" by making them appear as claiming that "ivermectin is a wonder drug".
Then they get to gloat that they just knocked down those deserving it, and to strawman them more, they say that "they weren’t interested in the truth at all".
