On the latest episode of "The Jimmy Dore Show," comedian and political commentator Jimmy Dore highlighted the similarities between Pfizer's expensive new antiviral drug for COVID and ivermectin, a generic drug used to treat the virus.

"I've never seen the propaganda machine so hard at work as it's been against ivermectin," said Dore. "Ivermectin won a Nobel Prize for human medicine in 2015, but the media really has everyone believing it's for horses."

Dore suggested the motivation behind the propaganda is profits.

Dore played a video of John Campbell, Ph.D., explaining how Pfizer's antiviral and ivermectin treat COVID in "the exact same way."  Campbell told viewers Pfizer's new antiviral drug shows very high levels of efficacy in preventing severe disease, hospitalization and death.

"But there's another drug, which is generic, called ivermectin, which works in the exact same way as the Pfizer antiviral," Campbell said. "And there is conclusive proof from the scientific literature that the modality of action of the two drugs is the same. Both of these drugs inhibit viral replication."
