        Sure, but a doctor would at least know how to dose it properly for a human. It might not do much, but probably won't kill him.

        yes, im saying the people taking it on facebook are buying it from farm stores. medication formulated for animals is different and has different effects in humans. like ivermectin for horses is designed and dosed for the horse digestive system, not human

        basically joe should make abundantly clear he was prescribed it in a medical setting from a real doctor, he didn't go down to the store and buy horse medicine. Like he is a multimillionaire and sought the best treatment possible from what it sounds like in this video

      But also, ivermectin is an antiparasite, which would do nothing about COVID.

          there are other antiviral drugs though. ofc they are obsessed with one drug that hasn't been proven effective for covid in humans.

          "In vitro, ivermectin has antiviral effects against several distinct positive-sense single-strand RNA viruses, including SARS-CoV-2. Subsequent studies found that ivermectin could inhibit replication of SARS-CoV-2 in monkey kidney cell culture with an IC50 of 2.2–2.8 μM. Based on this information, however, doses much higher than the maximum approved or safely achievable for use in humans would be required for an antiviral effect"

          So sure, it kind of works, at least on monkey cells in a test tube....and it might work on you if you're willing to fucking poison yourself via mega dosing lol

          Ripped this from wiki, but the study papers are legit

                I think we can curr more than that in vivo now. Our big stumbling blocks here in america are lack of funds for early care. Kinda the kinda grand mismanagment of public trust that leads to people doing lines of horse goop

      Ivermectin at antiviral levels is going to fuck you up for the medium term. May as well just down a fistful of AZT at that point.
