Like what happened with Joe Rogan, oh wait, he recovered.

  As have people who didn't get ivermectin. As have people who didn't get any treatment. That's why we rely on data from more than one case, to figure out relative effectiveness of different treatment methods.

  Do you believe that to be some sort of counter-argument or opposing view for anything I said? Regardless of the answer, I'm not interested in debating the wisdom of taking dog medicine in unstudied doses for an unstudied treatment with unstudied effectiveness that has a clearly documented ability to strip the lining of your intestines. You want be a trailblazer with every Facebook remedy? Be my guest.

    You know IVM has been around since the 70s? People take it all of the time. It’s a very studied drug, on the list of WHO’s 100 most essential medicines. The inventor won the noble prize for it. The cultivated animosity towards it is more of a result of propaganda. With this much money at stake, it’s easy to see who might actually be pushing that propaganda.

      Let's make it explicit: I personally know people - including one direct and one extended family member - involved in this Facebook-science culture. I have seen the videos they are following, I know they are taking the medicine for an unresearched purpose in recommended dosages without any cited scientific reasoning to support. I'm not anti-Ivermectin anymore than I'm anti-any prescribed drug. I give it to my dog. My dad has used it, under the guidance of a doctor.
