I don’t know but when other countries like Mexico, Brazil, India, etc are using it with overwhelming positive results, I guess you can’t overlook those results and shut the door on it.
 

I guess I’m more open minded than others and I’m ok with that 

LOL.....not when you know the science behind the drug doesn't key on viruses.  

 

Sometimes it's best to use some common sense.

Who knew????  All these scientists trying to save our chicken flocks from Avian Flu only need to feed them Ivermectin to cure the virus.

 

They are going to be surprised when they find that out from Facebook.

No, they aren't. 

 

 

Study in Brazil on ivermectin as a COVID-19 prevention is flawed, experts say

 

Mexico City Officials in Row Over ‘Misleading’ Paper to Justify its Ivermectin Drive

 

Success of ivermectin in preventing COVID-19 in India has not been proven

 

 

 

Do you know who makes Ivermectin? Merck.  What does Merck say about Ivermectin as a Covid treatment?

 

Merck, which makes ivermectin, has warned that there is no scientific basis to use its medicine to treat COVID-19, while the World Health Organization (WHO) and other regulatory bodies have also stated that there is no evidence that the treatment has an effect on the coronavirus and could be harmful in large doses.

It surprises me how fired up people get about COVID information or disinformation. Still. Even something like a Wuhan lab leak theory. Did Trump suggest Ivermectin? Maybe that is why it hits such a sore spot.

It hits a sore spot because one million Americans died from Covid, many of them because of misinformation like the nonsense about ivermectin. 

 

How can people not care about that? That's baffling.

If you're talking about me, I'm not worked up about it.  Just trying to bat down disinformation and am always surprised at the number of people who believe it, even after it's been explained to them that it's wrong.

Moved. Thanks.

 

However, please use report function in the future. Tagging individual mods usually leads to long delays in reviewing these kinds of things because they get lost in other notifications and/or we may not be around the site for whatever reason. The report tool leaves a notification in a separate module for all mods to be able to access/review.

Not sure I understand your sentence.  But, it is horse medicine.  Amazingly, some people still think it kills Covid.

ivermectin is snake oil that con men are selling to treat covid.   and there are plenty of marks willing to part with their money to buy it instead of getting the free vaccine that actually helps.
