Ivermectin is an FDA approved drug and is regularly prescribed to humans. Sure, it probably doesn't do anything for covid but it's not just 'horse dewormer'.

- ezekiel68 5y agoYou can remove the "probably". The manufacturer of Ivermectin states there is no scientific evidence [0] supporting the use of the drug for COVID-19. So much for the notion some espouse that "Big Pharma" pushes their drugs on us without fail.

- OneEyedRobot 5y agoJust to throw this out there. https://c19ivermectin.com/ https://c19ivermectin.com/ It's a pity that the whole issue has become politicized, but that's modern times for you. That's why ivermectin is called 'horse dewormer' rather than simply a medicine for parasite infections with a number of human applications. It's a term like 'XXXX denier' which is used to tie a political adversary to concentration camps by playing on our disgust or fears. Does it do anything for COVID? Dunno. Should it be a discussable matter without internet censorship and crazy people twitterstorms? Maybe. Am I sick of being propagandized by everyone? Yes.
- nradov 5y agoIf you're so certain that ivermectin doesn't do anything for COVID-19 then you ought to let the NIH know. They're currently running a huge clinical trial on it. https://www.nih.gov/research-training/medical-research-initiatives/activ/covid-19-therapeutics-prioritized-testing-clinical-trials https://www.nih.gov/research-training/medical-research-initi... You might also want to let these researchers know that you disagree with their results https://www.mdpi.com/1999-4915/13/6/989 https://www.mdpi.com/1999-4915/13/6/989
