The research on HCQ and Ivermectin effects on viruses has been established since the first corona virus outbreak in 2002. Ivermectin has known properties of anti-cancer in the veterinarian community for much longer. Recently, humans have begin to self medicate as an alternative to chemo and radiation for many different reasons. The positive outcomes are ignored or shelved as anomalies, but never thoroughly investigated. The evidence is mostly anecdotal with a few clinical trials that had positive results, but we're never repeated nor investigated, at least not in any publicly published papers. Anecdotal evidence is always derided in the scientific community, but that is a recent development. Anecdotal evidence was the basis of scientific inquiry. Rarely did scientific study occur in a vacuum. Observing the natural world and then investigating to understand the mechanism behind what we were seeing. True scientists are humble because we know that we know so little. The hubris of modern science is why "deviant" alternatives to the current accepted theory are ridiculed. There is also corruption with funding and predetermined results that need to be tweaked to get the desired outcome of the entity funding the research. Look at Global Warming and the data manipulation to achieve the desired results. If you don't believe that there is a correlation between anti-parasitic and anti-virals, it is because you aren't looking and your have allowed your mind to be closed to possibilities. It is easy to become jaded with all the manipulation, false hope and illusions put up by many different people for many different reasons. Identify the culprits, but weigh each case separately. Try to avoid being cynical when the information being shared is given freely. When a multi-national corporation makes a claim that will earn then money, then by all means be skeptical, but regular doctors, Vets, nurses, and individuals make claims without selling anything, it may be worth a look. If it is immediately dismissed by mainstream "science" without any investigation, I become a bit suspicious.
