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.
If they CARED if it was dangerous for people, then it would be tested and classified. If they expect people to eat it, they will classify it. No question. End of story. Even if they believed it was safe.
Even water has an MSDS sheet, and we literally die without it. It's classified because people will consume it.

They do not care about classifying everything in horse medication, because they didn't expect people to eat horse medication.
There is no hurry or requirement that they test proprietary chemicals designed for and tested for horses if it's exclusively being used in a medication not designed for people.
Testing chemicals on people requires people volunteers. If there is no reasonable expectation that people will be consuming a chemical, they not only WON'T test it on people, but they wouldn't even get approval from the ethics board to do so.
Human testing requires ENORMOUS justification. Legally, ethically, and scientifically.
The fact that you're choosing to eat this stuff does not mean they were expected to predict that people would be eating this stuff. There's not an MSDS for some of the stuff in Tide Pods, either.
They're obligated to care if it's dangerous to people. PEOPLE HAVE TO HANDLE THIS STUFF WHEN THEY ARE MAKING IT.
THATS WHAT THE MSDS IS FOR LMFAO.
Your logic is so ass backwards.
People aren't required to eat this when they're handling it...
That reasoning is specifically why I do not believe there is any hazard of accidentally ingesting the filler ingredients in small amounts. Because there would be a warning to the employees that work with it if there was.
I’ve been a horse trainer/barn manager for 15 years… I have had more horses try to sling this stuff at my face than I can count… so far, no issues I’m aware of (and no COVID haha)
You can believe what you want about it, but no lab I’ve ever existed in has taken special care to inform me that I shouldn’t be eating random chemicals I was mixing.
It’s kind of… a given…
Like, you don’t even drink lab water. You could. But you don’t. It’s the trigger discipline of lab work.
But they're generally going to be required (either by regulators or insurance companies) to have warnings and instructions about what happens if you accidentally do end up doing it, because these company's legal departments typically go to great lengths to cover their ass in the event of any sort of liability, even if it's unrealistic or potentially laughable that people might ingest it in such a way.
That's why they included toxicity information for the ivermectin in the same document. In case it's accidentally ingested or an employee is accidentally exposed to some quantity of it while producing it.
They included toxicity information about ivermectin because they have data about ivermectin, since it's a medication that HAS been tested on people. They don't re-test every component of a medication over and over again every time it's re-released in a slightly different mixture.
Look, I appreciate the perspective you have on this. I just don't think it's one that's based on a lot of experience with how these things are tested, regulated, and understood. Which is why I'm trying to help provide that context. And I've done so. If you choose to think I'm lying, manipulating you, and you don't want to accept my perspective on this, that's perfectly okay, and I hope that your health remains well.
Have you ever dewormed a horse? It’s much more of a contact sport than you’d believe. Deworming generally happens every 6-8 weeks for the whole barn at the same time. I guarantee you if I deworm 25 horses, at least 5 of them are slinging that paste directly at my face….
This explains how Corminaty was approved by the FDA without these tests.
