Calling it a horse dewomer is mostly political babble. I've asked a physician about it and the answer as to why they were being taken was mostly because there was some faint evidence that it works and the likelihood of side effects weren't that high compared to covid. To make it abundantly clear, I took the vaccine and I think you should too, but calling it horse dewomer is pure politics

I get what you’re saying, but… You are right; calling Ivermectin a horse dewormer is MOSTLY polarization. It’s approved for humans. There are also a ton of off label uses for OTCs and that has always been OK and not ridiculed. We’ve moved on to polarizing everything so why not, “the other side” is always full of idiots, right? Side note: anyone that does recreational drugs has about no room to talk on this topic. In this case, he alternates between generally talking about the drug, and talking about the actual horse paste product. Which seems to be the exact same drug, but with some paste and not FDA approved. I wouldn’t, but the horse paste is probably safe if you use a scale to measure the sub-gram amount needed for a human, but who knows!? There could be benzene and garbage in there and no one would know, it’s not intended for humans. I think it’s all a bit ridiculous. And while people will hate what you said, it has a grain of truth in most cases when mocking people who are interested in Ivermectin, just to mock and belittle them.

People are literally purchasing it at a feed and supply store with a picture of a horse on it and a label that indicates that it is meant for horse use. Regardless of the active ingredient, that is unusual behavior and rightly garnered attention.

  Exactly. That's why whenever ivermectin shows up in the news, it's because someone has taken so much of it that it made them ill. A 900 pound animal dose for a 150 pound human is quite a tall order.

It's not because of ivermectin, it's because people are eating a paste that is literally used to deworm horses. It's no babble, it's the product description. https://www.horsehealthproducts.com/all-products/horse-health-ivermectin-paste-187 https://www.horsehealthproducts.com/all-products/horse-healt...
