It's weird how often on threads about covid, an entirely new HN account turns up to defend the other newly created account that is extolling the virtues of Ivermectin.

Interesting and very frustrating that these kinds of studies and analysis do not reach any decision-making outcomes.

Unfortunately not only Ivermectin became politicized, but the whole Brazilian health situation. For example, 4 health ministers since the beginning of the pandemic (a military general amongst them) and an early investment in hydroxychloroquine without solid scientific proofs (while at the same time refusing to buy Pfizer vaccines).
