    We should remember that there IS a difference between getting Ivermectin from the local Farmer's Coop that is NOT meant for human consumption and going to an actual hospital, getting an actual medical evaluation, and for medical professionals deciding to perscribe Ivermectin as a treatment option.

      yeah, the difference is that the medical professionals will determine that you have a parasitic worm and not covid

      I mean there are plenty of quack "doctors" that will prescribe ivermectin if you know where to find them. There's a billboard on the side of a major road here saying that you can contact them and they'll give you an ivermectin prescription from an "actual doctor"

        So long as its prescribed in human doses, that will at the very least, cause less harm than the horsey paste.

            Yeah, that's kinda the point.

            The stuff doesn't have instructions on the side of the box for what the human doses would be, so if you do the math wrong you're easily going to overdose yourself. Since we can assume that there isn't a regular doctor visit scheduled to check up on the patient, there is less chance that there is somebody who will be paying attention to enough vital stats to know when to stop treatment.

            And its not like we know how many people are using horse paste instead of getting the vaccine, so if somebody has just been steadily dosing themselves for long periods of time the stuff is going to build up the system. Its why it causes liver problems.

            When given to livestock, you only give like one or two doses and wait for the parasite poison to do its thing. You watch the animal to see if it starts gaining weight, if its poop is filled with dead worms, if the animal is acting like it has more energy.

            Since that won't happen with people trying to treat cold/flu symptoms, I'd imagine that its really easy to just take horse paste in the same way I take cough syrup and antihistamines when I get a cold, I'm not surprised if people are overdosing themselves on Ivermectin.

      Yes, the only tricky part is if/when chud medical professionals start prescribing it.

        Already happening. My friend's aunt was given ivermectin by some quack to treat her covid and she's handling it really poorly.

        But are they going to be prescribing the human variant or do we think they are just going to go down to the Feed store and dozing them with the horse cum?

        I'd imagine that the grifter is going to spring for the human designed stuff knowing that AT LEAST, what they are going to be giving them won't directly cause organ failure.
