Much has been written about ivermectin lately — most of it untrue. People are mocking the use of a "horse-dewormer" in the treatment of COVID. Outlets like Rolling Stone and CNN take great pleasure in ridiculing its use. They have printed and promulgated a false story about overdosed ivermectin users in Oklahoma clogging emergency room admissions. Any sane person not associated with left-wing politics and journalism has to wonder why all this negative passion is directed toward a medication with a high degree of anecdotal success as a treatment for COVID.
Off-label use of prescription medications has been going on for as long as prescriptions have been written. If a drug has been declared safe by the FDA, it may legally be used and prescribed for medical conditions for which it was not originally intended. Testing of drugs has been stringent since the thalidomide disaster of the late '50s and early '60s when a drug administered to prevent nausea in pregnant women was discovered to cause the birth of malformed infants. These unfortunate babies were born with flipper-like appendages instead of normal limbs.
Following this debacle, the FDA and other agencies throughout the world became much more strenuous in testing for undesirable side-effects. Health officials have been rightly obsessed with preventing a similar medical disaster. Testing periods have been, in almost all cases, lengthened before a drug is deemed safe. The rapid development of the COVID vaccines is a notable exception.
The particular objection to the use of ivermectin is that it is widely perceived to be a medication for animals, particularly horses. The fact is that this medication was approved for use in humans in 1996 for various parasitic infections, so in proper dosages, it has been tested for human consumption.

* Warfarin, a rat poison, became Coumadin, an anti-coagulant that has also saved countless lives by preventing blood clots.
* Alexander Fleming's Petri dishes containing staphylococcus bacteria, gave us Penicillin, which has saved millions of lives.
So, If rat poison and mold can save lives, why not a "horse-dewormer"?

They denounce it because they were told to by Fauci.
For those who think that government is benevolent and looking out for our good, or at least that government is a necessary evil and not a deadly malevolent evil run by secret societies:
we already have a cure for cancer (hint: it is another dog de-wormer) but the big drug companies will not allow it in the USA and government helps them keep it out of the country. It can be cheaply bought in other countries and is very effective. I know people here who are taking it and have put into full remission stage 4 cancers of the brain and liver. I checked with my pharmacist and they can make it but it would cost $411 for one pill; while from foreign country it costs $7 for a package of pills.
Do you think one politician would speak up about this? If they did they would be likely murdered or their children murdered.
All i see is that for people sure saying they were desperate to get treatments out as soon as possible, they sure spent quite a bit of their energy demonizing and ridiculing ivermectin. And any other potential treatment that wasn’t a new treatment by big pharma.
They couldn’t get EUA for the experimental pharma treatments if they would have said hcq or ivermectin could be beneficial treatments.

I found this article very helpful. Going to pick up my 1% tomorrow. The store said low stock.
This tying rat poison to Warfarin’s success and assuming it is true for ivermectin is the correlational fallacy also known as cum hoc ergo propter hoc (Lat., “with this therefore because of this”). This fallacy happens when you mistakenly interpret two things found together as being causally related. Two things may correlate without a causal relation, or they may have some third factor causing both of them to occur. Or perhaps both things just, coincidentally, happened together. Correlation doesn’t prove causation.
Ivermectin has been used for decades for people with scabies.

Just a question that I’ve been wondering about. Why was there a big switch for promoting ivermectin over HCQ?
I guess I missed the reason for the switch.
Excellent headline.
Will have to remember for future use.
You expect anything else from a vax pusher?
It wasn’t that the point was missed.
It was deliberately misrepresented.
