What I find stunning is that for some reason that I cannot fathom, other than my assumption that people feel a political loyalty that blinds them...
Some people now feel that taking livestock deworming pills is safer than being vaccinated. As if a vaccine is inherently dangerous and that taking a horse pill is safe.
News flash:
* Taking random animal medicine in any form is inherently risky.
* Overdosing on pills designed to deliver medicine to 1000 lbs animals is unreasonably likely
* Tampering with over the counter horse medicine is trivial compared to a medically controlled injection. Remember the Tylenol scare?
* A bad pill can kill you just as dead as a bad injection.
* The US already has required shots. You have almost certainly received them. Diabetics likely take shots 3 or 4 times a day.
* There is far more actual research on taking covid shots than taking horse medicine. Other than we know horse medicine overdoses are up 250% this year "for some reason".
To those who simply can't get over the political nature of being vaccinated, I ask
Would you serve your kids cat food because Tucker Carlson questioned if the food provided by school meal programs was safe because it came from 'the government'?
because that is essentially what you are doing now if you take livestock medicine rather than be vaccinated.
To those who can't get past the notion of doing something you simply don't want to do, I recommend that you reflect on what the term "Patriot" means at its core.
Is a patriot one who is willing to do something they potentially don't want to do in order to protect the people or is a patriot only someone willing to protect their own interests?
Sometimes I think people in America confuse liberty with anarchy and patriotism with political loyalty. You say that lockdowns and masks are BS. Well, then here is a way to minimize them. Get vaccinated.
I think the FDA sums it up nicely:
"You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y'all. Stop it,"
- armagon 5y agoI find that when people characterize a widespread anti-parasitic medication, used in humans for over 30 years, as a "horse de-wormer", that I have a great difficulty in believing they have anything meaningful to add to the debate.
- tigershark 5y agoThe morons of a certain political faction are actually taking horse dewormer. Stop lying please. 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...
- uberman 5y agoCan one get a legit prescription for Ivermectin to treat parasites in humans? Absolutely! Is Covid a parasite though? Where do you believe that the average person is getting their over the shelf Ivermectin from? Do you have an alternate hypothesis for Ivermectin shortages for livestock at feed stores or the sudden increase in calls to poison control and hospitals for Ivermectin overdosing? Why would the CDC issue a warning specifically about consuming livestock medicine if it was a minor isolated occurrence? Is there any large scale clinical study (that has not been retracted yet for data manipulation) let's say with more than 1000 participants that clearly shows any benefit to taking Ivermectin for Covid? I'll give you a hint, the answer is no. The largest double blind placebo controlled experiment for Covid Ivermectin (3,500 people) (https://www.togethertrial.com/trial-specifications https://www.togethertrial.com/trial-specifications) clearly states: Ivermectin : Trial Stopped for futility
- uberman 5y agoJust to be clear, I am not opposed to you or anyone else taking Ivermectin. Whatever floats your boat. What I am opposed to is someone laboring under the misconception that taking Ivermectin is a replacement for being vaccinated, wearing a mask, or taking any real precautions against spreading Covid.
