Ivermectin was developed for humans around 1985 for human river blindness and patented by Merck. I have no idea where the horse issue came from.
I was referencing the whole set of lies presented by the CDC and Fauci during the covid Plandemic and how they lied about ivermectin and its usage.
The LSM spewed the lie that is was a horse medicine and Trump was killing people for even mentioning it.
They even still have their filthy propaganda posted from those years

During COVID, when medical authorities threatened the licences of doctors who prescribed it and pharmacies refused to fill prescriptions, it became widely known that you could buy the animal version of the same drug at farm supply stores without a prescription. Similarly, there are a couple of antibiotics you can get the animal version without a prescription, but they didn't have billions of dollars worth of experimental cavaccine approval dependent on having zero alternative treatments.
Probably after the COVID situation started.
Anyway, it was pure propaganda, meant to ridicule and destroy Trump and his people! This purely political move cost lots of lives!
There are many medications shared by veterinarian and human medicine. There may be different dosage and purity, animal medications are usually cheaper version of identical human ones.
Many human medications were originally applied to animals. Then, after long time, after they have proven themselves on animals, they are approved to human use.
So many, many medications, could be ridiculed in identical way, if this would serve their purpose!
Ivermectin is wildly used as a DEWORMER.
My wife is a dog breeder. All puppies get worms from drinking their mothers milk. So, around week five she will add some Ivermectin to their food. They will all poop out small round worms within 24 hours.
We have a bottle of it in our fridge right now.
It is a clear liquid. She measures it out in milliliters with a syringe.
It is also available in a paste form. Under a couple brand names available to feed to livestock. You can buy it at any farm supply store. I believe Panacure is one of the brand names. It comes in a big tube. You can feed it directly from the tube into your horse, cattle, sheep, goat mouth. Hence the term “horse paste”. This is because all of these animals get parasites from eating off the ground. So, you need to treat them just like giving your dog a deworm pill.
FYI, Ivermectin is given to people all over the world to fight bacterial infections and parasites. I take it all the time IF I feel like “I am coming down with something”. Typically it will flush out your system LITERALLY. But, it gets rid of the bad juu juu.
The issue is MD doctors hate for you to self diagnose and treat your medical issues. Just like I never tell them IF I take Fish Mox instead of going to the doctors office to get a prescription for Imoxicillian. All of these are available from various Pet Health medication companies online.
