First, I absolutely do not advocate for ivermectin in place of vaccination. I’m vaccinated, and I don’t take that drug, but… I am troubled when I see media reports refer to ivermectin as a livestock drug and omit the fact that it absolutely is used in human anti-parasitics. It would be the equivalent of writing about someone taking Pepto Bismol, and saying “the man took a substance used in the production of rubber. It’s biased and misleading.

> I am troubled when I see media reports refer to ivermectin as a livestock drug and omit the fact that it absolutely is used in human anti-parasitics I think the association comes from the fact that human dosages are prescription-only, and supposedly no doctor would give a prescription for it to protect from Covid, so supposedly anyone taking it on their own against Covid is taking the over the counter veterinarian dosages for animals.
