Ivermectin is useful and effective for humans against parasites. Many people point to its use in places like India and other tropical regions.

It is also effective for animals that come into frequent contact with natural or nonsanitary food sources.

It is essentially useless agaimst viruses.

I know someone who takes it once a week to keep from getting cancer. She said it works because she doesn't have cancer. Her boss offered to pay her insurance through Obamacare. She wanted no part of it. Someone told her about American Affordable Healthcare. She asked boss if he would pay for that.

Made by the same company that made a Covid vaccine. Cracks me up that right wingers clutch their pearls over one and embrace the other

Ivermectin can be used in humans in small amounts to kill parasites. But I can’t buy a large enough quantity to treat my 24 actual horses because these stupid MAGA people are trying to kill themselves with it.

mary-colinchisholm.bsky.social•1 day ago

i wonder if there is a danger of parasites becoming resistant because of drug overuse, similar to antibiotic resistance.

ccburtner.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yes. That is already happening.

If stupid and willfully ignorant people want to poison themselves with horse de-wormer, I say, “Go for it!”

nursegenius1019.bsky.social•1 day ago

I remember the infomercials for Colon Cleanse claiming parasites were the cause of extra weight people carried. Miracle product that would get rid of parasites living in your body I knew people that swore they saw parasites in their poop. I never saw any weight loss

sarcismy2ndfav-asm.bsky.social•1 day ago

How does a parasite load cause weight gain? I've always watched my livestock for signs of weight loss that would make me conduct a fecal egg count.

patbyrnes.bsky.social•1 day ago

Good. Our nefarious plan is working. The fools fell for Ivermectin as a cure-all and will soon die off from its utter ineffectiveness.

Did it kill Bobby Brainworm’s intelligence?

Oh, now they wake up? Now they are getting all scholarly? I no longer read the Atantic's pompous delayed reactions.

Where were these staid pillars of thought WHEN IT MATTERED?

Tell it to the kids ripped from their parents. (No shade on you, I also spit on the FNYT.)

I hate conspiracy theories myself...
HOWEVER, you people posting about Ivermectin only being used in animals or horses, you're really off base!
"Ivermectin was found to be effective against human parasites, leading to its approval for human use in 1987, under the brand name Mectizan".

skipabilly7314.bsky.social•1 day ago

In small doses. For parasites. Not viruses. As such, anybody taking it to cure COVID or anything not related to parasites continues being a moron

br-en.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yes, and I totally agree... however, a significant number of people, including who chimed in here, gleefully reposted, were all saying "horse medicine"
That's exactly how it was made out on / in the media, no background.
That's why it got so much backlash!
Recognized facts, would have prevented that

blueskykiwifly.bsky.social•1 day ago

It does say this in the article

"Ivermectin was legitimately a wonder drug for the poorest people on Earth. Since its discovery in 1973, it has become a leading weapon in the fight against horrific infections such as river blindness and elephantiasis."

Ivermectin, bleach, arsenic. Let them poison themselves, not like they're a benefit to society.

jeanotwhatimean.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yeah well I say let them treat all the life threatening illnesses with the stuff.

lindalarsencooks.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yes! Hopefully they stay away from hospitals so others who aren’t stupid can get treatment.

margaret64.bsky.social•1 day ago

Can you make this a gift article? I need ammunition to direct at my whacked out friends.

chloezd.bsky.social•1 day ago

Not just for horses. I give this to my dogs once a month to prevent heartworms.🐕🐩

sfshlv.bsky.social•1 day ago

I use Heartgard for my dog to prevent heart worm, too. That is all it does. It is effective for protecting his heart from heart worms. If it is cure all as MAGAts believe, all the dogs will live longer and healthier without any ailments. I haven’t seen the cure all effects. Not a valid narrative.

wltran.bsky.social•2 days ago

Ivermectin is used on dogs as a heart worm preventative.

deawells.bsky.social•1 day ago

It's a horse medicine folks. Are you a horse?

At this point, I say let ‘em have at it. At least Ivermectin isn’t contagious. 🙄

A guy that I went to high school with killed his brother and his mother with ivermectin.

Do your homework. US exponentially leads the world in Total CV Cases 113M & Deaths 1.2M. Govt's that allowed IVM. Cases in India 45M & Africa 13M (w 4X US Pop, Bangladeshi 2M (w 1/2 US pop). Check the nos. W IMV no mRNA EUA.

So when they overdose or have terrible side effects let them cry in the damn corner

anne1965tx.bsky.social•1 day ago

My veterinarian had me worm my dogs once a month with ivermectin. I had several die of breast cancer after being on ivermectin for many years. In my opinion did nothing for cancer.

My neighbor who almost died of
Covid SWEARS by ivermectin. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

mary-colinchisholm.bsky.social•1 day ago

it likely coincided with a return to health that was already underway, kind of like eating meatballs after a week of ordinary flu and waking up the next day feeling a little more energetic and the day after that even better... voila magic meatballs.

gopiscomplicit.bsky.social•1 day ago

She was in the hospital where they wouldn’t give it to her. On account of not being an actual horse even tho she’s a horses ass.

So ever since she got out of the hospital, she believes her immunity is forever if she just takes ivermectin horses paste.

I just agree with her. Yep, absolutely.

usedlobsterdealer.bsky.social•1 day ago

For a drug meant to get rid of parasites, it isn’t doing a very good job with getting rid of the Anti-Vaxxers leaching off everyone else’s immunity to protect their dumb asses. They must be the wrong kind of worms for Ivermectin to be effective at purging them from our system.

nomorescrubs.bsky.social•1 day ago

Ivermectin, especially in higher doses can cause seizures and neurological deficits. By all means maga, go right ahead.

hairyoldgoat.bsky.social•1 day ago

I guess Ivermectin is great for MAGA plebs who aren’t living near a rifle range and can’t afford a gun are therefore unable to get their RDA of lead dust to acquire the neurological deficits they crave.
