This definitely falls into the Culture War category; please repost in the Culture War thread!
That said, there's a few things you should probably fix before doing that; for example:
This breaks the rule against enforcing ideological conformity; please don't do that.
Also it's not culture war. It's medical science.

Link is in the title. I should acknowledge my bias that I am a staunch pureblood antivaxxer(unexperimentally jabbed person who strongly disagreees with MRNA mandates.) I have taken Ivermectin for Covid. My significant other is fully up to date on jabs, having gotten the mouse jab just earlier today. We did have an argument, but as civilized persons, we don't believe in mandates.
That said, all things being equal, I trust doctors providing treatment on the ground more than corporate funded RCT's. Also, I tend to believe the opposite of whatever current centralized power is pushing as a message and that has served me well as a truth seeking mechanic in the past 3 years. So I agree with Alexandros and personally believe that Scott Alexander's blog on Ivermectin was sloppy at best, and cowardly at worst.
