It's not the argument? It is a statement of fact. There is no way around it. Consuming a placebo to subsequently validate and provide incentives to put yourself and others at risk is the whole reason why Ivermectin poses a major problem. No one complains that people take paracetamol even though it is not effective at reducing Covid19 spread. Why is that?

Just listen to it. It is absolutely not about advocating in favor of ivermectin. It is about very wrong information spread against ivermectin as a response to the misinformation spread in favor of it.
