Ivermectin
Regarding this edit, it was removed per WP:NOTFORUM but I wanted to point out that the death rate from COVID increasing is not surprising. You implement a vaccine. Those vaccinated don't become as ill, but those who do get ill enough to be hospitalized are disproportionately unvaccinated or with other severe issues. They are more likely to die from the illness, so now the death rate (deaths / cases reported) increases.  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) 17:16, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

12.129.130.98, For the record, pretty much every assertion you made at this comment at Talk:Ivermectin about Japan and Ivermectin use is false (except for the fact that you found your information on the RFK web site on Covid, which I believe). A cursory look at reliable sources will show you what actually happened in Japan. You could start with this article from the Associated Press about false claims on social media about covid and ivermectin in Japan: "False claim spreads about Japanese ivermectin study, despite correction" (AP news) or "Kowa says ivermectin not effective in treating COVID-19" (the latter is from the Japanese manufacturer of the ivermectin drug who had everything to gain, i.e., huge profits, from getting ivermectin approved). See also, Japan has not stopped using covid vaccine: "Japan has not stopped its COVID-19 vaccine rollout" (there were recalls of a contaminated Moderna vaccine, which was then picked up by social media as Japan "stopping" use of covid vacccine; that never happened). Regarding your assertion that Japan stopped covid and started administering it, that is false: Japan does not recommend the use of ivermectin (that came from a tweet that falsely reported a government official: "Japan does not officially recommend the consumption of ivermectin to treat covid-19"), has not authorized the use of ivermectin for covid ("Fact Check-Japan has not authorized ivermectin to treat COVID-19 or revoked a vaccine mandate" (Reuters)) nor has it stopped covid vaccine and started administering ivermectin instead ("Japan has not substituted ivermectin for COVID-19 vaccines" (AP News). The WSJ reported that "Ivermectin Didn’t Reduce Covid-19 Hospitalizations in Largest Trial to Date". Everything you stated in your comment was false; I don't blame you personally, since you stated you got it from the RFK Jr. website on covid, so your conclusions are not surprising, as Robert Kennedy Jr. is a notorious covid conspiracy-monger.

As your comment was purely your own personal opinion, was merely a string of unsupported theories complaining about the current status of the article, and had nothing to contribute to the improvement of the article, it was removed from the Talk page, appropriatley.
