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.
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.
