One in 20 Americans treated their Covid with unfounded drugs - and certain news sites may have had something to do with it, survey finds
[MAIL] Approximately one in 20 Americans turned to unproven treatments like ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine to treat their Covid-19 infection.

A nationwide survey found six percent of respondents reported using either treatment when they had the virus, despite the lack of evidence these medications effectively fight Covid.
Yeah? How did they do compared to the 94% who used something else or nothing at all?
Ivermectin is used in humans to treat parasitic worm infections, head lice and rosacea. It was initially touted as a miracle remedy because numerous studies suggested it could beat the virus, but experts criticized the studies as being deeply flawed and unreliable and they insist there's not enough evidence to say ivermectin has any benefit.

Hydroxychloroquine is used to treat autoimmune conditions and may also be used as an antimalarial drug.

It was briefly authorized by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat Covid, but the approval was revoked a few months later after clinical trials found the medication was unlikely to be effective against the virus and posed serious side effects.
They were deliberately extremely poorly designed clinical trials, for which the designers and approvers should be presented as examples of scientific fraud in school science texbooks next to the inventor of the Piltdown Man. But not Lysenko, who turned out to be partially right, once epigenetic effects was discovered.
