It's really quite scary how many people will believe claims from someone who has no qualifications on the subject just because they are an influencer. Ivermectin works on mites and other parasitic animals by paralyzing their muscles. Following this logic, it would be analogous to claiming that benzodiazepines cured my friend's broken limb.

What is this obsession some people have with ivermectin? They don't believe in the moon landings but they think ivermectin has magic powers.

Its an ad campaign to hike up the price and demand for Ivermectin by people invested in its production.

Steve Jobs, an otherwise very intelligent and successful guy, got diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and instead of jumping right on treating it instead let it go and sought out all sorts of "natural" cures. Well it became terminal and he admitted that if he had treated it at the start it was in an early enough stage where he likely would've survived. There is a trait in some smart people to think they are experts on everything.

let's hope everyone who still listens to Joe Bogan follows Mel G's advice when they get cancer.
