Is it a horse dewormer? Is it a treatment for lice? Is it a magic cure for COVID? Maybe it\\u2019s just a poison. Or maybe, a thing can be more than one thing. What even is Ivermectin? Why has this drug caused such a controversy? What do we know about it and why does everyone think those on the other side of the conversation are completely uneducated?
