For those interested to learn more about Ivermectin, watch JRE#1671 podcast episode. Lots of interesting information covered about the drug by 2 biologists. It may change your views on this for the better, or the worse.

Dr. Pierre Kory was one of the main dudes promoting ivermectin -- he references the meta-analysis study on ivermectin that was later redacted. Of course when this interview was released (june 22), the study was not yet redacted (july 14) so it looked like the drug worked far better all the drugs including steroids & antibody treatment.

You're better off if you only associate "JRE" with Java.

People shouldn't be taking medical advice from JRE (or celebrities (or politicians)), but what's wrong with his podcast?
