      Everytime I hear it introduced as “horse dewormer”. The bias is already made clear.

      While Mel Gibson is clearly off his rocker in that Ivermectin can’t do jack shit against cancer… So is OP for acting like it’s not safe for human consumption. It’s safe for consumption even at 10x a “normal” dosage (with all the Covid-19 studies showing that while more or less ineffective for COVID, not at all harmful otherwise at up to 3000μg/kg… or 15x a typical dosage http://ssrn.com/abstract=3714649).

      IVM has been used safely in 3.7 billion doses worldwide since 1987

      It’s 100% safe… and boatloads of it have been given to humans for longer than most people arguing about this shit have been alive.

      TL;DR… While probably useless for anything that people recently attribute to it… It’s safe for consumption as a general rule.

          And lying by stating its for horses in a manner that makes someone assume it’s not for humans at all resolves what?

            Because all the people taking it for COVID (and probably trying to cure cancer) were not getting it from the doctor. They were getting it from Farm supply stores . Everyone was calling it horse dewormer because that’s what it was. They were not going to get a prescription. I know because I live amongst these dummies that were asking on Facebook which one to get from the farm supply, what flavor was best, etc.
