Fortunately for me, I know next to nothing about ivermectin, except that the American left is very, very concerned people might be taking it, and I don't know of anyone actually taking it that doesn't have a radio show or podcast. So in my ignorance I would guess very few people are actually taking it and a lot of people are talking about it.
- jdsfighter 5y agoAlternate data point, I live in one of the major cities in Oklahoma. I work for a mostly blue collar shop. The overwhelming majority of our workers are unvaccinated, and I'd say a large fraction of them are very vocal about their use of ivermectin.
- davidw 5y agoPeople are turning up in hospitals because they've OD'd on it.
- swader999 5y agoNo they aren't. All of those reports have been retracted.

Only stands to reason that if people are taking it kind of randomly, a few are going to screw up and take too much.

- tawmec 5y agoNot once in that article is an overdose mentioned.
- davidw 5y agoSo you're suggesting that taking even a regular dose might send people to the ICU?
- tawmec 5y agoThe article linked simply says there have been people who misused ivermectin who presented at the hospital. For what reason they went we have no idea because it does not say. For all we know the two individuals who landed in the ICU were admitted because they were attempting to unsuccessfully self-treat COVID and ended up there, not because of the ivermectin misuse but because of COVID itself.
