The New Mexico Department of Health (NMDOH) began requiring the reporting of overdoses from Ivermectin, an anti-parasitic drug commonly used in pets and livestock. While Ivermectin does exist as medicine for humans, online misinformation is touting it as a treatment for COVID-19. Ivermectin is not approved for the treatment of COVID-19 and health experts are...

I wonder how many deaths from Ivermectin overdose there have been nationwide.

    IT'S NOT FOR HORSES. IT'S NORMAL. YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO TAKE IT. IT'S FROM THE EARTH. DOCTORS HAVE BEEN GIVING IT TO EVERYONE FOR DECADE. IT'S. NORMAAAAL.

      I live in NM. It's a poor state with shitty government services and lots of the other things are substandard too. I only very rarely go to ABQ so I can't give you any info on it. You could search r/NewMexico, r/Albuquerque, etc for existing threads about moving to the state. A million people ask about it.

      I pay way too much rent and the food costs are also very high. But - long story short - I'll be stuck here until for ten years or so. But if the US goes fascist starting in 2024 - maybe I'll become "unstuck" and flee to Canada. The future of the US looks very dark to me.

    Wtf, Ivermectin is a fairly safe drug for humans, like they would have needed to eat several whole tubes of horse paste to come close to a lethal dose. Even if you thought Ivermectin is an effective drug against Covid why would you eat so much of it.

      Owning the libs at the equivalent of an Olympic medal winner isn't for everybody.

          On the box - remove the horse pic and replace it with a smiling Pelosi pic.

          Ninja edit: This is complicated. Maybe that wouldn't work. They might think Pelosi is mocking them if they don't take it.

          They're cultists but they aren't 100% all in. I seriously wonder if that makes them more fucked up. They have doubts. Imagine their dilemma. Consider their friend Mike. Nobody in his family wears a mask, of course they'll never get the vaccine, and he and his wife have got four kids. He acts like it's a total impossibility that anybody in his family can get sick.

          But the cultist can't imagine that Mike might be lying a little or even totally lying about everything. The cultist feels guilty that he has doubts. He's sane enough to worry about dying but he must reject even the idea of the jab. So he uses the totally batshit workaround that his ilk use. He'll take the horse paste because other people like them are taking it too.

          At this point it just seems like a subconscious suicidal tendency.

          It might be. All I can do is guess what's actually happening in their noggins. And those are dark, dirty, and confused labyrinths.

    Apparently everyone I tell about this has never heard of ivermectin. Only people with terminally online brain now's about the sweet apple flavored horse dewormer.
