This is a byproduct of the arcane US medical system. The rich see a doctor and get drugs and are warned off ivermectin.

In Rest of world the state pays health, so the first doctor visit kill the ivermectin myth and they get the proper medication at a fraction of the US price.

You can't say vaccine hesitancy hasn't been well earned. It's not like the US doesn't have a history of lying about medical procedures performed on misinformed citizens...
