Summarization
The article by Kait Tiffany discusses the continued misuse of Ivermectin as a dangerous idea that doesn't go away when removed from major social media platforms. The drug has become central to an alternative medical subculture forming even before the pandemic, and its believers have turned to it as a source of identity and in-group self-definition. Some people argue that Ivermectin's efficacy as a treatment is being demonized to push vaccinations through for FDA approval. Others argue that it's a cheap, effective, and safe drug that can eliminate intestinal parasites and has earned a Nobel Prize for medicine.
