Lab leak was wrongly censored, why should YouTube censor ivermectin for Covid?

The same tactics once used to thwart discussion of the lab leak hypothesis are now being used to stifle discussion of Ivermectin. Morally I'm obligated to address it. While I don't recognize @twitter's authority on the matter, I do recognize its power. Anything to say, @jack

Youtube policy says not to share videos that: "that recommends use of Ivermectin for the treatment of COVID-19 Claims that Ivermectin or are effective treatments for COVID-19" https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/9891785?hl=en

The probability that an ineffective treatment generated results as positive as the 56 studies to date is estimated to be 1 in 2 trillion (p = 0.00000000000041). https://ivmmeta.com/

Why can't this science be discussed publicly?

When Canada's premiere was asked for the reasons behind not discussing ivermectin he boiled it down to 2 answers: (1) vaccines, (2) thank you for the rain. https://twitter.com/AL_Maplewood/status/1397733921102598146? Bizarre! But have't run across good answers except it competes with more expensive solutions (profit motive).
