Emerging story

In recent weeks, demand for the drug Ivermectin has increased significantly due to the false claim that it can treat coronavirus. Shortages have led people to purchase Ivermectin for farm animals. Because of this, the FDA has used its platforms to warn against human consumption of the drug. 

In response, a number of Twitter users have highlighted the fact that the government requires Afghan refugees to take Ivermectin, suggesting a contradiction. These posts have gained significant interactions, with some managing to get over 10,000 likes.
