Whether or not ivermectin is the cause for the point, doesn’t really matter. If there another factor that’s responsible for cases falling in an Indien state that still suggests that Delta cases falling is possible.
I object to the way this comment slid the assumption that ivermectin was good but politically suppressed under the radar instead of stating it explicitly and making the case for it.
It’s following the classic advice of “politics is the mindkiller”. Focus on the fact that there’s something getting the cases down without pointing to the political charged part.
I do think it’s good if people take an unbiased look at the fact that Uttar Pradesh managed to bring their case count down by three orders of magnitude.
Isn’t the more likely reason that about 75% of people in Uttar Pradesh had already been exposed to the virus or vaccinated by late July, as shown by the national serological survey findings?

Other north indian states also show similar drastic drops, and I doubt all of them administered prophylactic invermectin.
