EDITOR—A war on off- patent, FDA-approved, inexpensive, safe “repurposed drugs” has been waged by the pharmaceutical industry for decades in an attempt to preserve profits for novel, patented, high-profit drugs. Ivermectin, a well-known antiviral and anti-parasitic drug (currently a generic, hence its low cost) is at the center of a huge controversy with establishment entities—government agencies, industry groups (Big Pharma), and most media trying to badmouth and criminalise the upstart drug in favor of much more expensive and profitable new drugs patented by Pfizer and similar pharmaceutical oligopolies which may not work as well as Ivermectin.
