I accept people who were supporting Ivermectin when it first came out, we didn’t know much about its effects on covid, and it seemed to help some people. It’s not particularly bad for you, so if you’re hospitalized it was a reasonable last resort. But multiple studies have now come out showing ivermectin really isn’t effective against covid, so it doesn’t make sense to support any more.
Also IIRC the “horse dewormer” claims are about people actually taking livestock dewormer, because it contains ivermectin and they can’t get medical ivermectin prescribed. And then people are being hospitalized because livestock dewormer contains other chemicals which aren’t safe for humans.
- evv555 5y agoThere was a story about people using horse grade ivermectin and overdosing. However the "horse dewormer" label is being used to talk about medically prescribed Ivermectin as well like in the case of Joe Rogan or the woman suing the hospital to have Ivermectin administered to her comatose husband. If a doctor wants to prescribe Ivermectin alongside with Regeneron then there's nothing to make a big deal about from a medical perspective.
