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 .
in the correct dose and formulation, it has a long track record of safety.

Bear in mind that the folks buying the stuff from the feed store are people whose rationale is "I don't trust that experimental vaccine recommended by my doctor, but I trust this horse medicine I read about on the internet." I think we can reasonably assume that a whole bunch of them aren't bright enough to properly dose their horse medicine for humans, or to know when it might not be safe for them to use.
When this is all done, med administration is going to have 19 rights, the lates being "right species".

Okay, I still don't have a good idea of how big a problem the horse paste thing is. Given the number of articles that refer to ivermectin (only) as a medication for deworming horses and not an antiparasitic that has been approved for human use for 30+ years, I suspect significant exaggeration.
