This article left me hanging*, wondering WHY “[m]uch of the US response to the pandemic has been exactly this backward—responsive to misinformation rather than getting out in front of it.” But for anybody who thinks the use of Ivermectin is an issue that ordinary citizens should understand, this piece describes honest efforts to confront the demagoguery with facts. Reports from the front lines, not back-room propagandizing. * I have my opinions. The author, fortunately, didn't offer his own speculations, which could only detract from his emphasis on responsible studies.
