Maybe they couldn't get a doctor to prescribe them the human pill because of all the politicization so they took the "horse paste" version. You seem to have first hand knowledge of all these people's situations, are you following people to the livestock supply stores or talking out of your ass from stories you read on Reddit? Most people that I know have that have took Ivermectin were taking the human pill. Only on the internet and news media have I seen people talking about horse paste. Also, some vet meds are okay for humans (as long as you dose correctly), yeah you shouldn't take them, but that doesn't stop some of my liberal friends I know from taking horse tranqs (ketamine).

The only reason that they want an ineffective pill that doctors rightly won't prescribe, but not a safe and effective vaccine, is as you say, "politicization". It's still a bad idea, on multiple levels: taking Ivermectin for COVID in the first place, taking the horse paste version, self-administering, and guessing the dose.

  No, your first sentence shows you're lacking an understanding. They genuinely fear the vaccine and believe Ivermectin works. If it was exclusively about politics they'd embrace the vaccine since both Trump and Biden are pro-vaccine. Taking Ivermectin for COVID from a doctor as an objectively "bad idea" is ridiculous, because it has been widely prescribed around the world for COVID. At best, it is a "marginally pointless idea."

It's been well-documented in the news, including people being hospitalized after overdosing on the stuff: https://www.mississippifreepress.org/15002/person-hospitalized-after-taking-livestock-ivermectin-from-feed-store-to-treat-covid-19/ https://www.mississippifreepress.org/15002/person-hospitaliz... https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/health/2021/08/25/ivermectin-livestock-deworming-drug-poison-control/5583817001/ https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/health/2021/08/25/iverme... https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/why-you-should-not-use-ivermectin-treat-or-prevent-covid-19 https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/why-you-shoul...

  Since you cited the hilarious poison control story, you might enjoy this analysis: https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/too-good-to-check-a-play-in-three https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/too-good-to-check-a-pl...

  At least one of those was debunked, but yeah the same news that said that someone was convinced to drink fish bowl cleaner because T recommended hydroxychloroquine when it turned out she was trying to poison her husband. It's a smear campaign and if people are taking it, it's because they can't get the human form. It's perfectly safe to take the human form and people take it preventively. You'd think the HN crowd would be for elective controlled drug consumption and against pushing people into black/grey markets. Kinda rich coming from the people who try to use ketamine (omg horse tranqs!) for everything.
