Time magazine recently interviewed CIP postdoctoral researcher Kolina Koltai for an article about America’s Frontline Doctors, a group that has promoted ivermectin, a medication normally used to treat livestock with parasitic worms, as a treatment for people with COVID-19. Koltai, who studies anti-vaccine misinformation, said that the group has had “the perfect storm of everything that you needed to have a large population of people susceptible to vaccine misinformation. … This idea of doctors fighting the system is a narrative that’s appealing to a lot of people.”
