26% of Republicans and 33% of conservatives believe that ivermectin is a “possibly” or “very” effective treatment
Ivermectin’s rise parallels that of hydroxychloroquine, another much-touted “cure”. In both cases early studies showed promise before being discredited. Some statisticians have suggested that ivermectin clinical trials would not stand up to scrutiny. Many rely on small sample sizes or were not well-designed. One study was so flawed it was removed from the preprint server that hosted it over “ethical concerns”.
—the American Association of Poison Control Centers received 459 in August, almost eight times as many calls about ivermectin as in the same month in 2020 Why do so many people buy into these unproven cures? Partisanship plays a big role. According to a poll that YouGov conducted on behalf of, opposition to covid-19 vaccinations is more pronounced on the right. Republicans account for 56% of respondents who say they will not get vaccinated; 25% are independents and 13% are Democrats . The ideological breakdown is similar: 53% of holdouts describe themselves as conservative, and just 7% are liberal.
