Good grief. America's Frontline Doctors, a group of quacks who claim to know more than actual experts are pushing the use of ineffective parasite med to prevent and or treat COVID.
On a personal note, my hubby works for a farm store and has overheard customers explaining to each other how to dose animal wormer for people. This is in a community that is anti-mask, anti-vaccine, let's just all get infected. Up until, you know, they need hospitalization .
So you want to take a dewormer. We treated our horses with this and it is an effective anti-parasitic dewormer. Unfortunately people are taking the entire tube. The product is weight-based and comes packaged for a creature with an average weight around 1300 pounds.
ETA: Disclosing my position--I'm sure someone has done it. I'd like to get an idea how big a problem it is since there have been at least a couple of major claims about it that were picked up by big media and social media which created quite a narrative prior to being debunked.

I can barely get my horses to take an entire tube. (Or the entire dose since some are too small for a whole tube) They tell me it's gross. ?
I've been wondering what form people are taking then found out that my local Tractor Supply and family owned livestock shop are out of ALL internal forms- paste, sheep drench, and injectable. I didn't even look at the pour on stock since that's not what I needed. I hope people aren't trying that. I do suspect that much of the shortage is other animal owners panic buying. I hope so anyway.
Regardless, when I did find the drench, price has gone up $10 for 8 Oz. The empty shelf at TSC also reflected that price increase.

Do you notice how it's mostly right wingers who are always pushing the conspiracy theories etc? 99% of them probably?
Who are the people gullible enough to fall repeatedly for these stupid assertions that actually sometimes prove fatal? How many antivaxxers and mask avoiders have been seriously compromised and are now inundating the internet with their videos of platitudes?
I wonder if the situation was reversed, would they feel as sorry for us as we do for them? I doubt they would!
Wow, that's a bold statement. While I agree that it seems the highest percentage of vocal antivaxxers are Republican, I can assure you that where I live, which is heavily weighted to Liberal, the antivaxxers are mostly Democrat. Enormously Democrat. So are the minority populations which are, by the way, being hit the hardest. So you should prolly take off your hat of superiority, there......it's rather ugly, anyway.

Same in my area as far as antivaxxers and those hardest hit
Please quit using 'prolly' for probably. It makes you look uneducated and high schoolish, thus muting the desired effect of your answers

Indeed, Florida, Texas, Mississippi, Missouri, the Dakotas, etc etc are known democratic and liberal states, with equally represented Dems in their govt.
Judge reverses order to give Ivermectin to patient! Even admits the ignorance of judges!
Brilliant. The orginal order should never have been made,
The studies available on the internet all say the same thing, while invermectin has shown some improvement in some covid cases the percentages arent high. Also randomised controlled studies are needed to verify whether the results can be replicated

Sorry this was proven false and Rolling Stone magazine had to print a correction on this.
