A leading Australian GP has been caught up in a worldwide anti-vaxxer conspiracy theory that the Queen is being treated for COVID-19 with ivermectin, thanks to a photo mix-up.

The rumour kicked off after Dr Mukesh Haikerwal was interviewed for TV show A Current Affair in a segment on “global concerns” for Queen Elizabeth, who is reported to be suffering mild symptoms after testing positive for the virus.
