flag The NIH is testing ivermectin’s cancer-fighting potential, sparking scientific and political concerns.

flag The National Cancer Institute is conducting a preclinical study on ivermectin’s potential to kill cancer cells, with results expected in a few months. flag The research, announced during a January event tied to Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s “Make America Healthy Again” initiative, has drawn criticism from career scientists who say it diverts funding from more promising work and lacks scientific basis. flag While NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya supports investigating public-believed therapies, no new evidence supporting ivermectin’s anticancer effects has been cited, and details on funding, personnel, and study rationale remain undisclosed. flag Ivermectin is FDA-approved for parasitic infections and skin conditions but can be toxic at high doses. flag The move has raised concerns about politicization of federal biomedical research.
