heard this on taxpayer-funded ABC Australia’s radio news bulletins this morning, but can’t find it on their website:

1 Sept: news.com.au (Murdoch): Ivermectin dangers outlined after man hospitalised
People are taking the controversial drug Ivermectin to try to cure Covid-19. Here’s what happened when one Sydney man tried it.
by Samantha Maiden
Doctors have warned of the dangers of quack cures for Covid-19 after a Sydney man was rushed to hospital after self-administering a drug used to deworm cows called Ivermectin.

Conservatives including ex Liberal MP Craig Kelly have been pushing the drug in the US and Australia as an alternative treatment for Covid-19 for months.
But that’s led to a spike in poisonings overseas and now it seems Australia with patients self dosing the vet medicine before presenting with explosive diarrhoea and vomiting.

Westmead Hospital toxicologist Associate Professor Naren Gunja has revealed a Covid-positive person is recovering at home after presenting to emergency after taking Covid “cures” they ordered online.
“Thankfully they didn’t develop severe toxicity but it didn’t help their Covid either,” Associate Professor Gunja said...

US infectious disease expert Anthony Fauci has also begged Americans not to take the drug for Covid.
“Don’t do it,” he said. “There is no evidence whatsoever that works.”...

ABC yesterday (Australia time) with another beat-up:

1 Sept: ABC Australia: Northern Territory clinic warns against sourcing or using ivermectin to treat COVID-19
ABC Radio Darwin / By Conor Byrne, Jolene Laverty, and Jack Hislop
PHOTO CAPTION: Australian Army’s Major Amanda Parry shows an agricultural student from the Federated States of Micronesia how to inject a pig with ivermectin

A “handful” of people have caused concern at a Northern Territory health clinic after asking about an unproven treatment normally used to treat parasites in humans and animals, instead of vaccines, to treat COVID-19...

“It seems to be a very small issue,” Dr Webster said.
“Fewer than 10 people have been asking about it at this stage.
“We haven’t been asked across our service to prescribe it. People have enquired about it...

Yes, thank you. I have seen that. There was some controversy over the study in Egypt so they re-did the meta analysis again censoring that study too.

I was referring to something from around 2012 or so. Way before covid. It was just a research paper by real scientists who were interested in the mechanisms of action of Ivermectin. It works for many different things and they wanted to know why (presumably they could parlay that knowledge into a new, improved, patented drug). It was a little over my head because it was detailed in various effects on cellular components I had never heard of. The bottom line was just that “wow this stuff is really good”.

Merck and J&J both have developmental stage drugs that are basically Ivermectin with some changing of molecular structure so they can patent it and charge $50 a pill for something that already works for 50 cents a pill.

re the Sydney man hospitalised, note it states the man took Covid “cures” (plural). that was also mentioned on ABC radio, so it wasn’t only Ivermectin.

Ivermectin is available by prescription from Walgreens via Goodrx for $34.00. Prophylaxis must be executed within 48 hours from the advent of fever and/or cough to be fully effective. 20 tabs @ 3 mg each. Most drs. in my area are fully versed on its useage. Dr. Zelenko in NewYork has had dramatic results prescribing HCQ and Ivermectin. Google his name.

Yeah, but it’s all just political, they can’t give you a Citation from a trusted medical source that shows it would be a problem.

Business Insider is the Left’s Wall Street Journal; for soyboi tycoon wannabees to display on their “devices” while waiting for a $10 Starbucks latte in San Francisco or Austin.

Same with Accutane. I and my son have been on it through the years for acne. Amazing drug. Not when pregnant.

You are correct. Ivermectin is a specific molecule. Its chemical formula is C95H146O28. It is this same formula whether used by humans or animals. The body cannot the difference between ivermectin in a pill or a paste. The only difference is the vehicle and the wrapper.

Do these snot-nosed reporters not understand that their condescending waggy-finger headlines will only INCREASE interest in Ivermectin?

Not that it’s a bad thing, mind you.
