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.
Then you must work for the horse dewormer companies and could potentially identify the chemical components of the proprietary substances listed on your MSDS that were not tested nor classified.
If you can provide me with the chemical formulae of those substances, I can run a secondary MSDS check on them and tell you what I come up with. I have some time today.
No, it's just that there's no logical reason to believe there would be anything other than a paste of some kind, which is probably made out of food grade ingredients, which renders the consistency they want it to be, and some flavoring, which is probably also food grade.
There's no logical reason to expect any other "mystery" ingredients there that will be highly toxic to humans, and I disagree that chocolate is a good example. Food grade pastes are common in pharmaceuticals and food, and there's no logical reason to expect why one food grade paste filler material would be toxic to humans and unsafe to use.
You're putting up some air of mystery around it that is unwarranted and unreasonable and it just kind of makes you look stupid. You're like the the Wizard in Oz putting up this big show but behind the curtain there isn't a goddamn thing.
I'll bet you anything the paste they use to thicken it is mostly freaking cornstarch. Lmfao
What you believe to be a logical assumption is not really an argument when it comes to things like this.
You believe that there's no logical reason that this paste would be harmful to humans.
The people who made this saw no logical reason to test this paste on people, to care what sort of ingredients might be harmful to humans, and so forth.
Also, "highly toxic" is a matter of dosage, and since you don't know the dosage of the other ingredients in the paste that may be potentially active in humans, you have no way to determine whether or not you're ingesting a potentially toxic dose of a "low" toxicity proprietary ingredient that, again, has never been tested in humans.
At the end of the day, I don't tend to put things into my body that don't even have a complete MSDS sheet filled out on them.
You will put such things into your body.
That's just a difference between us. And you can disagree with me about our willingness to risk it, but I think people should have an informed consent, and while you are consenting, it's impossible for you to be informed when the information needed for you to consent doesn't even exist.
As proven by the MSDS sheet that YOU provided to this conversation.
But we're going in circles. Like I said, take the risk if you wish. Just trying to make sure people are getting the full information about the risk they're taking before they decide whether or not it's worth it.
And if you're asking me whether or not I'd bet my life on that logic, you can be DAMN SURE I WOULD.
