Do not take livestock dewormer for Covid. You are not a horse.

You don't know me! jk. Fully vaxed and masked. Did I mention I was a big Darwin fan?

I couldn't find ivermectin for my dog a few months ago. People keep buying the drug for themselves.
penzick
Also, if your horse gets covid, do not give it Ivermectin. Still a totally different thing.

ugh, my parents raise cattle and started taking this stuff. I told them the only 'studies' done on it in regards to covid were poorly +

The was also a shortage of ivermectin because of these people. So people like me, who use it for livestock, were SOL.
Criscartersfallguys
I know a guy who’s been bragging he’s taking this stuff. He’s real not smart.
RdizzyC
There is evidence, it is just a compilation of extremely poor studies into poor metastudies, and it only has antiviral properties in petri..
RdizzyC
dishes, it isn't possible to reach high enough levels in blood plasma for anti-viral activity, no matter how high the dose given.

I have a script for ivermectin - I spread it on my face every night for rosacea. There are a bunch of people who do buy the "horse paste"
jdemonic80
for this purpose as it costs a whole lot less. My original rx would've cost like $1k, luckily I had a friend at a compounding pharmacy that

was able to get it made for me for like $30 for a few months supply. Still, there are a lot of people depending on the "horse paste" to

we had to hide our ivermectin stock so that farmers could actually deworm their animals, instead of finding it sold out to covidiots.

"It's not approved yet" Is their way of saying "I'm anti-vax. When it is approved I will find or make a new reason to be anti-vax."

Ivermectin is not "livestock dewormer", it's one of the safest most effective anti parasitic tools we have. Also has antiviral properties/1
superfloof
Agreed. Such ridiculously polarizing language for something that MAY (or may not, follow the science as Imgur likes to say) pan out.
SkinlessBoneless
/2 I'm not advocating taking it instead of vaccine, but it's not some random drug. We used it for SARS which is also a COVID variant

Peer reviewed isn't good enough to tell people to take it. You have to actually go through the process to test it and get it approved.

AndyS1234
Thank you for bringing this up. Meta analyses like these are important for building the foundation of knowledge about possible treatments. 1
AndyS1234
There are many possible treatments being investigated. And any treatments will need to have timing and dosage studies as well. 2
AndyS1234
It is important to keep in mind that however effective/ineffective any treatment or prophylactic may turn out to be. It must also be shown 3
AndyS1234
To be safe for the patient. No mater how promising the early results may be (and these are only moderately promising) the vaccine remains 4

I read a similar report for Emergency Use submitted to the WHO. In lieu of ANY other treatment at the time, it was still knocked back

Well kinda, it’s more that as they walk it acts as a pump. Sort of like our calves.

That made it gross to me, for some reason. Ugh. Just thinking about it acting as a pump. Why did you do this.
Sincari13
I can do grosser. Geldings have a sheeth where sweat & dead skin collects and you clean it by hand. Avoid eating cottage cheese on bath day.
johnzaku
I don’t mean to be gross, but our calves do much the same thing as we walk. They promote blood flow back out of our legs.
