BTW the situation in Philippines must be really something. The search for ivm in google news search for last 24 hours always turns up multiple links from there. For example: https://opinion.inquirer.net/139143/in-the-maw-of-death-sans-ivermectin

The need for fact-checking at this time of global health crisis — and with the Philippines not showing signs of reducing the number of cases — is of utmost importance. The campaign comes at the right time when politicians and celebrities are spreading unverified reports on medicines such as Ivermectin, which is used to prevent parasites in animals, as a potential “treatment” for COVID-19.

So that explains the current actions by Youtube and Twitter perhaps?
