An ABC investigation has uncovered a black market trade for Ivermectin on encrypted social media platform Telegram.

Over the next three weeks, the channel attracted more than 550 users from around the country and processed dozens of orders worth potentially more than $10,000.

"I'm particularly concerned as I only have one lung and feel this could be my last hurrah if I did get it," another wrote.Independent researcher Kaz Ross, who tracks extremists and anti-vaccination activists online, says the channel was the first example she had seen of an underground trade in Ivermectin and Doxycycline in Australia.

Multiple scientific studies – including one at Monash University — are trying to determine the potential uses of Ivermectin for COVID-19-infected people, but it has not been proven to be an effective treatment for the disease. While a 3mg Ivermectin tablet is listed on the register, the 12mg product being imported by users of "IM Packs" is not.

The TGA said in some circumstances individuals could import a three-month supply of unregistered medications for personal uses, but they still required a prescription from a medical professional.

I guess she worked out that a fool and their money are easily parted.... The business case is there to be exploited!

Not unproven. Proven not to work. Stop introducing doubt with passive words.
