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.

Wow, sseriously? . Wonder if there was some safety issues for certain folks ? (Like maybe it caused kidney or liver issues?)
I’ll have to check out why
Thank. Just a bit curious why they won’t list inactive ingredients.
Fromswanson, it’s only like $8 a bottle for like 120 I 5hjnk it was,p which isn’t too bad. A lot of stuff costs upwards of 20-30 for like 60 or 90 pills
IL. Check Walmart prices, gonna order from them soon
There isn’t a cure all to be sure, but we can increase our chances if we have preexisting conditions. It won’t work for everyone, but it will help a good number of them most likely. If it cuts down deaths by even say 60%, that means that instead of 1000 people dying, now only 400 out of those 1000 Will die. That’s pretty significant
My daughter who is 4 months pregnant caught covid. With the approval of her Mid-wife went to a farm and home store and got Ivermectin (apple flavor). Took the proper amount and was fine after 4 days!
Whatever Dr. Dipshit says I do the opposite.

Plus Walgreens and cvs clinics offer it too
Good job helping him.
Thanks
As an other poster said, when ivermectin is only described as for animals / livestock, it’s fake news. I’ll add, it’s death persuasion, criminal deception, and psychological fear manipulation.
“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.”"
Re potential toxicity: Everything has an LD 50/50 rating - Lethal Dose 50% die at the stated level. Peanut butter and even water have an LD 50/50.

That’s about the same price as it used to be from the other vendor. Thx, I’ll check it out.
It’s supposed to help your organs. With all the shoddy research the feds do lately, I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if this is somehow politically motivated. Not saying it is, but I find it hard to trust them with much of anything these days. I’ve been using NAC for over a year now, and I’ve never felt healthier. I take a lot of vitamins and supplements though, in addition to eating very very processed foods.
Where I live in the Philippines the test isn't available.
Well dang...third world life has its pluses and minuses
