Sabine Hossenfelder on Didier Raoult and Hydroxychloroquine

Someone in the comments said "Now do Ivermectin". I think they meant "Now do a video on Ivermectin". That might not be good for her YouTube channel. Upsets the worms, you know:

Ivermectin and its related drugs act by interfering with the nerve and muscle functions of helminths and insects. The drug binds to glutamate-gated chloride channels common to invertebrate nerve and muscle cells. The binding pushes the channels open, which increases the flow of chloride ions and hyper-polarizes the cell membranes, paralyzing and killing the invertebrate.
