Ivermectin happenings in South Africa as illustrative of governmental behavior

I have posted to these sub-reddits about some of the novel happenings in South Africa regarding ivermectin and it's contraband treatment there:

I have posted a comment there each to explain how the South African regulatory authority makes good mention of the recent meta-analyses - and I provide a rough transcript of the Dr Andrew Hill presentation for Unitaid, that the regulatory statement mentions.

It may be seen as a negative story against ivermectin but it may have some instructive value as it highlights how absurd some of the governmental actions can be.

How can it be anything except those who ban the substance are invested in the alternatives?
