Federal health agencies and officials across the country are warning people not to take ivermectin — a drug used to treat parasites in livestock — to treat and prevent COVID-19.
According to The Boston Globe, poison control centers in at least a dozen states have reported an increase in calls related to ivermectin ingestion. In an interview with CNN, Dr. Anthony Fauci said there’s no evidence it works, and that it’s more likely to cause harm.
“Don’t do it; there’s no evidence whatsoever that it works and it could potentially have toxicity… with people who have gone to poison control centers because they’ve taken the drug at a ridiculous dose and wind up getting sick,” he said. “There’s no clinical evidence that indicates that this works.”
Dr. Megan Ranney, a professor of emergency medicine at Brown University, told CNN that vaccines and monoclonal antibodies are the only confirmed methods of preventing COVID-19. Ivermectin, she said, is not a “miracle cure.”
“I want to be really clear, there is no data supporting that ivermectin prevents or cures COVID-19,” she said. “Unfortunately, the promotion for this drug has spread like wildfire among conspiracy theorists and people who are out to make a profit and we’re seeing people buy it from vets and take it themselves with really serious consequences. Another example of the very real harm of misinformation.”
Ivermectin first received attention last year when a study showed that ivermectin inhibited the replication of COVID-19 “in vitro,” or in a laboratory setting. In April 2020, the FDA wrote that the type of study was “commonly used in the early stages of drug development” and that ivermectin was not given to people or animals.

Ping for your interest
He must be afraid he won’t earn as much from his patents for the “vaccines” for the disease he illegally restored funding to research that accidentally (we should hope) got out?
Well, if Dr. Fauci warns against it, that seems reason enough to trust it ;)
I wonder if safe doses were made available if it wouldn’t have a better outcome.
Wassamatta fauky? Starting to eat into your moderna profits?
Because no money goes into his and his friends pockets when people are saved by it.
Pretending that Ivermectin is only for horses and cows is even a bigger lie than pretending masks will prevent passing covid. It has been used to treat humans for many things for decades.
Corrupt scumbags.
Why would they use the term "y'all"? Sounds a bit bigoted to me...as if they're directing their message to a specific group of people, ie., cowboys, farmers, etc.
Right to Try
I know over a dozen who have been cured by it.
Moooo!
Weeeheeeheeeeheee!
Fauci is evil.
The Tractor Supply bought stuff is
administered by weight of the recipient.
There are a lot of people out there
self-administering thinking they weigh
the same as a horse.
I find the concern of the HCQ/Ivermectin concern trolls to be awfully suspicious...
thank God my ivermectin paste came today...plus my NAC came today too....
[[“Don’t do it; there’s no evidence whatsoever that it works]]
Blatant lie-
[[and it could potentially have toxicity]]
So can’t aspirin, Tylenol, cough medicines all sold over-the-counter- etc etc etc- But when taken as directed- there is very very little risk of overdosing-
Funny how a medicine that has been taken for decades very safely for many ailments all of a sudden is ‘too dangerous for folks to take’ now that covid has arrived-
where’d ya get the NAC?
I know some people who are using it as part of their preventive measures.
“... there’s no evidence whatsoever that it works ...”
That is an absolute lie. I personally know someone who took ivermectin, prescribed by a physician, and it helped immensely and immediately.
Actually didn’t the Japanese come out with data?
Don’t even eat the horse that has been treated with ivermectin.
