I didn't call you particularly as anti-vaxx, I said anti-vaxx are promoting Ivermecitin using India/Goa and provided source for that claim.

What does the attached URLs has to do with your claim of "hundreds of millions of people in India who have been taking Ivermectin for significant amounts of time." and implying somehow that Ivermectin reduced the COVID case load in India which coincidentally is exactly what Anti-vaxx are peddling?

States which were using non-evidence based medication incl. Ivermecitin have dropped them after Directorate general of health services (DGHS) has issued guidelines to stop using them[1] and recently Indian Council of Medical Research have also dropped them from the list[2].

There's no reason to put India and Ivermecitin again in the same sentence unless it's to promote misinformation.
