LA Times Article is a Cheap Hit Piece that Insults Millions Around the World

Los Angeles Times (LA Times) journalist Michael Hiltzik is the latest hired gun in the mainstream media to line up and take a pop-shot at the drug, Ivermectin. Running with a reductive and anti-intellectual dig (Ivermectin is the new Hydroxychloroquine), Mr. Hiltzik declares that while the anti-malarial drug isn’t discussed much nowadays, Ivermectin is, and he believes it shouldn’t be due to “an utter lack of scientific evidence.” For him to use the words ``utter lack” can only mean that he hasn’t actually looked at the current evidence base or lacks the scientific shrewdness to accurately assess it. Surely, even the National Institutes of Health (NIH) COVID-19 Treatment Guidelines Panel would disagree with his choice of words, considering they changed their August 2020 stance from recommending against Ivermectin for COVID-19 to not being able to recommend for or against it in January of 2021, after listening to evidence presented by Dr. Paul Marik, Dr. Pierre Kory and epidemiologist and WHO consultant Dr. Andrew Hill.
