That’s been said multiple times. By government agencies and media conglomerates. Amazing what you can find when you look for it.
Literal talking point from the FDA https://twitter.com/US_FDA/status/1429050070243192839?s=20 https://twitter.com/US_FDA/status/1429050070243192839?s=20
Debacle with CNN and Joe Rogan https://news.yahoo.com/lie-joe-rogan-accuses-cnn-151300650.html https://news.yahoo.com/lie-joe-rogan-accuses-cnn-151300650.h...
- _fizz_buzz_ 5y agoha, that's pretty funny actually
- dekhn 5y agoit's almost as if joe rogan took prescribed ivermectin on purpose to show CNN how dumb they were calling it horse medicine (i dont' think what rogan did was Smart, but what CNN did was DUMB).
- ceejayoz 5y ago"Literal talking point from the FDA" Oh, come on. The tweet links to a page that gives information that doesn't fit in 280 characters; making a sly reference to what people are talking about is hardly outrageous, and likely intended to increase distribution of the useful info in the link. 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... The next tweet has a FAQ, too (https://twitter.com/US_FDA/status/1429050498515144708 https://twitter.com/US_FDA/status/1429050498515144708) that's quite clear that ivermectin has some uses in humans, but isn't approved or shown to be useful for COVID. If you base your reality off single jokey tweets, that's on you.
