I guess people are taking a drug called ivermectin instead of getting the covid vaccine vaccine

@Budwick Hey dummy... you missed this...

[quote]However most people are taking the veterinary version intended for horses. (Easier to obtain)[/quote]

@Budwick only one twisting words around is you dummy. When did I say it wasn't approved? I said its not going to work. And if it does to some degree its going to be about as effective as dog asprin is for treating covid lol

@Budwick [quote]the drug has been in use safely for years.[/quote]
How "safely"? Ivermectin can have some nasty side effects; see "Serious Neurological Adverse Events after Ivermectin"

[quote]It's used as an anti-parasitic drug most often in humans.[/quote]
True. I know biology isn't your strong suit, but there's a world of difference between the various multicellular invertebrate phyla such as helminths, and noncellular infectious agents such as viruses. [b]A world of difference.[/b]

Wasp spray is great for killing yellowjackets, but it does nothing against rodents. By the same token, there's no reason to believe worm killer is effective against corona viruses.

@ElwoodBlues Yes, but according to the logic of the "deep base," maybe humans should consider ingesting wasp spray for COVID.

@NoahB [quote] I said its not going to work[/quote]

And yet it does, most recently for Joe Rogan - a quick recovery from covid.

@Budwick Actually, Joe Rogan took thousands of dollars worth of monoclonal antibodies, not to mention zithromax. You can't separate the effects.

@Budwick lol joe rogan took like 50 other drugs along side ivermectin. Also I don't believe him about taking ivermectin. Virtue signaling.

@Budwick [quote]Rogan added that his treatments also included monoclonal antibodies, Z-pack antibiotics, and a vitamin drip for "three days in a row."[/quote]

@MarkPaul

Mark - I hope you are not seeing your vet for your personal health issues. I remember having to warn you against listening to CNN about injecting Clorox a while back.

@MarkPaul Joe rogan is also in much better shape physically than most of the sheep deworm drinkers

@Budwick [quote]@MarkPaul Mark - I hope you are not seeing your vet for your personal health issues.[/quote] Trying to change the subject to disguise the fact you've lost your ivermectin argument? You failed to prove safety, you failed to prove effectiveness, and so now you change the subject? [b]LOL!!![/b]

@ElwoodBlues [quote]to disguise the fact you've lost your ivermectin argument[/quote]

There's no argument Woody. The stuff has been used safely in humans and other animals for decades.

Ignoring the truth won't make it go away. When ivermectin has been used safely, it's always been in prescribed human sized doses under a doctor's supervision. Buying yours from the feed store ain't safe, no way no how. That's why there are so many ivermecting poisoning cases these days.

[quote]Poison control centers nationwide said there was a threefold increase in calls related to exposure to ivermectin in January compared to the pre-pandemic period, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. As of July, “ivermectin calls have continued to sharply increase, to a fivefold increase” from the time before the pandemic, the CDC said. [/quote]

@ElwoodBlues @Budwick it has been used safely when prescribed by a doctor in the correct doseages. But thats not really whats happening Budwick. Being obtuse about this is doing you no good mr.wick

@Budwick OMG. You got burned yet again!

@NoahB If those are stories about people using meds meant for animals - the real story is that Darwin is kicking in.

@Budwick they are and I agree

@NoahB Excellent.

@Budwick Of course Ivermectin is also a human medication so..... Just because it used for one species does not mean it can't be safely used for another. It has been used by humans for over 20 years now with virtually zero negative outcomes so the point of calling it horse de-wormer is what again?

@hippyjoe1955 @hippyjoe1955 Joe - I think you may have replied to the wrong person. Unlike Elwood, I do not get my meds from Tractor Supply - I go to Walgreens.

@ElwoodBlues Oh look another religious tract I will ignore. Not sure why this clown keeps posting. No one is reading his nonsense. I know I certainly don't. I see his name and skip the rest. No point in debating religion when the topic is science.

@hippyjoe1955 no surprise to hear you don't read the information that proves you wrong lol
