A reasonable, responsible government that actually cared about people's lives would not be screaming "HORSE DEWORMER, HORSE DEWORMER!"
A reasonable, responsible government would be saying exactly this:
"Even though ivermectin has not been approved by the FDA to treat covid-19, there is still some evidence to suggest it can help reduce the severity and duration of illness. If you attempt to use Ivermectin formulated for large farm animals, make sure to reduce the dosage accordingly to adjust for human body weight so you do do not overdose on medication."
But no, they started screaming, "HORSE DEWORMER!!!"
I hate these people.
I have horses. I also have Durvet 1.87% ivermectin on hand. The box lists only the ivermectin and no other ingredients. Are you saying they're lying to me about what I'm giving my horses?
Looking at a label for one of these boxes right now online. Tell me, does it say, "All ingredients" or "active ingredients"?
Because the one I'm looking at only lists on the box the ACTIVE ingredient.
And you can only label an ingredient as active or inactive for the exact animal species its tested for. Inactive ingredients are rarely listed on animal medication.
An ingredient that is inactive in a horse is not necessarily inactive in a human.
Think about this: a dog cannot eat chocolate. Why not?
It contains theobromine.
In humans, this is an inactive ingredient. We can metabolize it just fine and it does nothing interesting.
Dogs cannot metabolize it. Its an ACTIVE ingredient for them. Which is why it can make them sick or kill them.
Since the box I'm looking at is only listing the ACTIVE ingredient for the horse (the ivermectin) and not the INACTIVE ingredients for the horse, then you can't be sure that any ingredient that is considered inactive in a horse (and therefore not worth listing on the box) is not ACTIVE in a human being.
Because it hasn't been tested in people for activity.
Does that make sense?
Have you looked at the ingredients in vaccines? Many if not all of them include aluminum, formaldehyde and thimerosal, and who in their right mind would want to put that crap in their bodies? You're telling me that the horse de-wormer may be tainted, and I'm telling you that at least some Big Pharma products, by the very ingredients listed, ARE tainted. Additionally, many Big Pharma products, by their own admission, can induce a whole host of unpleasant side effects, including death. IMO, all of this pretty much puts the lie to what Big Pharma's testing for human consumption is all about.
I took an entire tube of horse de-wormer over the course of a couple weeks for a suspected parasite infestation. I'm not dead and the only 'side-effect' I've noticed is that my energy level, which had been depleted for the past year, returned to normal (parasites deplete energy). I also know a lot of other people that have taken the horse de-wormer. They aren't dead, they no longer have the virus they took it for, and they report no ill effects.
I'm glad to hear that you're okay.
And on the converse, I was vaccinated with two shots of Pfizer back in January, along with all of my coworkers, and none of us have had any side effects or medical problems despite being among the first people in the country to be vaccinated.
But the plural of anecdotes is not data. Not for me, not for you.
The stuff included in the vaccines is not anecdotal. And all testing data of pharmaceutical products is anecdotal until enough outcomes are compiled to call the results data.
Hope you remain healthy, even through virus season this fall. Or maybe all you got was the saline solution.
