Ivermectin News Report

Background Information
This is a Twitter post created by NTD Evening News reporter Jason Perry concerning a supposed study done on over 100,000 people to test the effectiveness of ivermectin for treatment against COVID-19. It suggests that ivermectin would have been an effective treatment and that many lives could have been saved if it was used.
Technique Used
Simplify Ideas
This is propaganda because
It is a post meant to persuade the public into thinking that ivermectin would have actually been effective for treating COVID-19 and that the government made a mistake not using it. It is a simplification of ideas because it fails to mention that studies have already shown the drug to not be effective against treating the virus, and the doctor who did this study, Dr. Pierre Kory, has been known to question federal studies into COVID-19 in the past. It is harmful because it encourages the public to use a drug that is not meant for the disease they are attempting to treat, which could lead to harmful side effects.
