How much of the crying wolf is financially supported quietly by bad actors? The FDA will only fast-track new medications like vaccines if there is an "unmet need". If ivermectin works, there is no longer an unmet need. Are there bad actors who understand this?

Yes, without question. The bad actors are fully at play. Why publish the Columbia study when it’s so flawed?

This is a Italian meta-analysis - full reference:

ivermectin was mostly neglected so far and only used in a few countries; nevertheless, scientific community is progressively building a body of randomized evidence which points in favor of its use.
