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.
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.
No, I just believe the assumption that there will ABSOLUTELY DEFINITELY be some horrible toxic filler material that is only safe for horses in there to be absolutely ridiculous.
In fact, if there was, wouldn't CNN, MSNBC, the Wall Street Journal, and the Washington Post all be screaming about it right now? They care about our health right? They want us to be informed right?
But no, it's ivermectin they're smearing. If it was the filler ingredient that made it unsafe to ingest, they'd say something about it so that the conspiracy theorists like us have no excuses left!
I challenge anyone to PROVE IT.
I'm waiting.
Would you trust a scientist who proves literally anything about chemistry and medicine to you? There are plenty of scientists debunking claims about the vaccine and the virus, and this community largely dismisses all of them as being compromised and enemies of the Plan.
With that in mind, I would definitely not make medical decisions about consuming drugs untested on people on the basis that no scientists have specifically proven to your personal standard that you should not be consuming untested drugs designed for horses.
But to each their own.
