Really crazy times: - doctors say: take a vaccine but people say “I don’t trust big pharma” - random guy say take ivermectin and people say “great I trust pharma”. Merck is marking tons of money now. So this is all about packaging of the message. I think the only way to convince people to take vaccine is that Binden (and democrats) starts telling people not to take one… This is just beyond stupid and this is all result of our nanny state. Im 100% for Florida approach: let’s god sort them out.

To be fair, ivermectin is an old drug with a well established safety record ... when using proper human dosing. The COVID vaccines are only just getting their first full approvals. If someone is evaluating the drugs purely on their long term track record of safety, ivermectin wins by a long shot. But none of that really matters, because the problem is about efficacy. It might be "safer" to take ivermectin in a vacuum than one of the vaccines, but that doesn't matter if ivermectin doesn't protect you and you die of COVID anyway.

  > To be fair, ivermectin is an old drug with a well > established safety record But then why these crazy doctors are saying not to take it? Conspiracy? I guess we not should trust these "doctors"...

    For the same reason a doctor would say you shouldn’t take penicillin to treat COVID. People are conflating safety with efficacy.
