In 2018, NPR thought Ivermectin was so harmless they advocated giving large doses to humans to poison mosquitoes that bite them.

Imagine this: A pesky mosquito sips some of your blood. Hours later, the blood-sucker drops dead, poisoned by the very blood it just slurped down.

That may sound too good to be true, but it's a tantalizing possibility, according to research published this week in the journal The Lancet Infectious Diseases. The study points to a potential new tool to fight malaria: the medication ivermectin. Studies conducted in the 2000s, including one in 2010, show that malaria-carrying mosquitoes die after feeding on individuals who have ingested the drug.

.........

In their study, the researchers demonstrate that three high doses of ivermectin make human blood deadly to mosquitoes for at least 28 days after the start of treatment. This high dose of ivermectin was also well-tolerated with few side effects.

Government intervention has created an atmosphere where doctors fear to prescribe it, distributors fear to sell it and pharmacies fear to fill it. They are not fearing the market forces. They are fearing what the government will do to them.

In what world is that not the same thing as being illegal?

illegal (adjective)
contrary to or forbidden by law, especially criminal law.

law (noun)
the system of rules which a particular country or community recognizes as regulating the actions of its members and which it may enforce by the imposition of penalties.

It wasn’t derided as “horse paste,” unfit for human use, back then. But that was before politics had utterly invaded and corrupted medical reporting.

Ivermectin is so safe that in 2018 NPR ran a story about considering it’s hi dose use in our blood to kill mosquitoes!

Go ask your doctor if he’ll prescribe it as a preventive, and your pharmacist if they’ll fill it, then get back to us.

If they cooperate share their info so others can contact them

As I understand it, both HCQ and Ivermectin are widely used in central Africa to fight various tropical maladies, including malaria. Coincidence or not, most of those countries have very low Covid infection and death rates, far below the US and most European countries.

The paste is for horses the pills are for human, dog chewables are for dogs.

I suggest you never take the dog’s Ivermectin as it has other medications in it.

The horse paste, one tube is for a 1,200 pound horse so the dose for humans needs to be carefully calculated.

The pills can be prescribed by a Doctor or purchased on-line at various websites.
Those are the safest and proper way to obtain and use Ivermectin.

This find is gold.

The suppression of ivermectin is crime of the year.

Mass murder. Huge numbers of people could be saved lifelong health problems and death if they took this incredibly cheap drug as soon as they had symptoms. No I’m not pretending all of them would avoid hospitalization and serious injury. But many would.

Don't have one.

and your pharmacist if they’ll fill it

Don't have one of those either. Don't need 'em.

What are you so scared of?

Each click on the plunger is for a 250lb horse. Careful measurement is surely necessary.

A rather apt description.

Any way you choose to say it, US politicians are dictating medical treatments.

Government death panels have been culling the weak since the Wuhan flu appeared.

Yeah, that’s a Tweet that says “should not”.
Does that make it illegal?
Twitter is law now?
Suggestions are actionable legal points?

I know, it’s fun to pretend but really that isn’t meaningful in the real world.

You go ahead and pretend if it makes you happy.

They gonna kill us all, oh noes!
