The fact that people still believe in hydroxychloroquine after very high quality evidence has shown it doesn't work (and in some cases may harm) gives me very little hope for any evidence in any direction changing peoples mind.
Ivermectin is a symptom of a larger problem.
Interesting. Trying to assess my bias, I am more likely to accept anything questioning mainstream media. However, I've had my guard up for years considering how misinformation spreads like wildfire on both sides.
In this particular incident, it still looks to me that the mainstream fabricated a story. This is based on what the dr actually said, how the local news cut the interview to spread fear, and how the media took it and ran. While correct that the hospitals statement didn't fully contradict the narrative, Rolling Stone felt silly enough about their lack of diligence that they walked the story back.
But, like I said, I am biased and am admittedly more likely to hold this opinion. If I thought otherwise I would probably just ignore this thread and move on.
