Ivermectin is not part of what I'd call alternative medicine so it is quite irrelevant as to whether any promotion of such is based on a profit motive. What Ivermectin is - and what most likely caused it to be the black sheep to those who instigated its banishment - is dirt cheap. This makes it more likely that the actual profit motive did not lie in those promoting Ivermectin but in those who called for its banishment since there is hardly any profit to be made on something that cheap.
