> It's a very safe drug. That's why is so important. But media lies and vilification of a 3rd world drug I guess are more important.

What's the angle, though. Cui bono?

Edit: Thanks for the downvote. If you come up with conspiracy theories, you have to explain this, not me. It's step 1 of a conspiracy:

Who benefits? How?

Pharma benefits - not just from vaccine profits, but from the new drug they’re currently testing, molnupiravir. Unlike IVM, it’s patentable, though it operates on a similar biomechanism as IVM (protease inhibition). Merck plans to charge thousands per dose once they wrap clinical trials. Fauci is on the record hyping this new drug as well.

And this is a worldwide conspiracy where they're able to buy all the medical bodies across the world, including in countries with conflicting interests, plus the all the world's top physicians?

I don't buy it.
