    So this is all from posts I only sort of remember, but basically there was a paper that said it could kill covid. Except the context is that it was in a vial, not in human trails, and the dose of ivermectin was like 5x or 10x or some other crazy number times the lethal dose for humans. Basically, they figured out if you throw an obscene amount of toxic shit at covid, it'll die :surprised-pika: . So anyway, (this is the part im really foggy on) some white south american farmers picked up on this, and theres apparently a white south american farmer to US chud meme pipeline or something? and now we're here. :cat-confused:

      The trial was a "try any medication to see if it can kill covid" study.

      There are dozens of drugs that have some benefit at heroic doses, but those sort of studies were done before we had a vaccine.

      Those studies were done in case none of the vaccines worked.

          the horse elves showed me a geometric tunnel. I said "wow but that's just a normal tunnel" and they said shut the fuck up.

      I thought it was South African farmers that picked it up originally but yeah
