Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said taking a de-worming medication to treat COVID-19 was "crazy." His comments, made Sunday on "Meet the Press" come amid a reported rise in calls to poison control centers about ivermectin.
Ivermectin has not been proven to treat or prevent COVID-19, according to the US FDA and CDC.
Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear on Sunday said taking medication meant to deworm livestock was 'crazy' amid a rise in calls to poison control in his state related to ivermectin.
"When it comes to misinformation, I really don't think this is a red or a blue issue, it is a fact versus fiction or a sometimes sane versus insane issue," the Democratic governor said Sunday during an appearance on NBC News' "Meet the Press." "My first job in life was mucking stalls at a horse farm. Taking a horse dewormer is crazy under any circumstance."
Beshear's comments come amid an increase in calls to the Kentucky Poison Control Center compared to last year related to the misuse of ivermectin, the antiparasitic drug often used to de-worm animals like horses and cows, the Louisville Courier-Journal reported.
The Kentucky Poison Control Center received just one call in 2020 related to the misuse of the drug, according to the Courier-Journal. So far this year, the Kentucky Poison Control Center has received 13 calls about the misuse of the medication this year, according to the report.

They want to make sure there’s enough for the refugees and illegals....and, for them.
COVID stays away from my old Kentucky home
Ivermectin, it works ev’ry day....
Well Beshear let me put it this way, its not whats put in a horses mouth that defines a man. But rather what comes out the other end is what defines a person of your caliber Mr beshear!
Then allow doctors to prescribe it since it works better than your vax.
The vaccine is the horse $hit.
Poison control...yeah that’s needed for Joe’s Jab...
Yep, caught in a huge lie and still pushing it.
Lefties are probably calling the poison centers non-stop.
Panic Pornographer ping.
How many different medicines are taken by humans and horses alike? I know that aspirin has been used for horses, so does treating your headache the same as deworming your intestines?
My Ivermectin scrip is from and MD and it is for human consumption.
So quit with the scare tactics.
Beshear is a horses ass.
Amoxicillin, for starters.
A most likely fake election winner, pushing fake news.
Showing facts to a leftist is useless. They’re important for the right and independents, but leftists just need to be destroyed.
BullShit!
The sheer amount of anti-Ivermectin stories being generated by the media makes me even more confident I made the right decision to protect myself and my family by using it.
guy has no real understanding of the history of ivermectin
a real media would call him out for his massive ignorance
Beshear is to Kentucky as Biden is to the U.S.
