View submission: COVID denialism and policy clarifications
We have seen a massive increase in Ivemectin requests where I am at, to the point that the medical society I'm apart of had an emergency conference last night to talk about ways to combat misinformation and disinformation. I hope that subs such are /r/nonewnormal are banned more quickly in the future.

You and I both know they won't be.
This is a response to Forbes and CNN picking up the story of subs protesting, and not because of the protest, user outcry, or any sense of right and wrong.
They're doing the bare minimum to satiate these groups so they can keep getting that sweet, sweet ad revenue.

Reddit will **always** be a source of misinformation because they directly profit from it.
The conspiracy shut-ins and incel losers are glued to their computers in their mother’s basement and therefore this website, so they drive lots of traffic.
They get eyes on ads in substantial numbers and that’s what Reddit wants.

I am so sorry to hear that people are asking for horse dewormer from you. Vets shouldn't have to put up with such bullshit.

I'm neutral on the subject of Ivermectin. I don't have adequate information and will leave it to the regulatory bodies to decide. All I know is that regulatory bodies in other countries such as India, Mexico have approved it for use and some studies show some benefits to that.
If Ivermectin is approved in the future for Covid, how will you feel about having shut down the discussion of a drug that could have saved lives?
Disclaimer: I'm not advocating for the use of Ivermectin in countries where it is not approved for use for Covid.

I hope your free speech is stripped with your next dissenting opinion.

It’s people like you that make me feel compelled to prescribe it despite anti-viral treatments being outside the scope of my specialty.
There’s plenty of information that supports IVM use for, significantly more than those that detract. To hand wave the medication based on media headlines rather than looking at the actual data and studies is borderline malpractice.
