Some of them are well-crafted grifts, like the Ivermectin thing isn't so much the drug itself for me but the "big pharma bad so take THIS big pharma instead". Could understand more if they were pushing herbal remedies that can be found in the woods, like "shrooms kill c19" would resonate as more authentic?

I think flat earth comes under a similar umbrella, that and the Q thing - lots of attention and low-critical-thinking audience who will just go further down the rabbit hole if given evidence against.
