.... please check in and let me know where I am wrong.
Now Ivermectin is used as a dewormer for horses and it goes after parasites and worms in the horse's gut
(digestive system).

The C-19 virus is taken into our respiratory system through the mouth and or nose and then it is taken on down
to the lungs where the virus attacks the epithelial cells and then the person gets the disease.

Even if Ivermectin works on C-19 it goes into the wrong area of the body that needs to be treated when taken orally.
BTW if any anti-vax MAGA person wants to make it work better then they might want think about grinding it up and smoking it.

(18,767 posts)..actually do use it for parasites. Hubby has flat out refused to sell it to people who have scripts from way across the country..or for any script that calls for it to be used wrongly...in MUCH higher doses. He informs the people its not a valid script and in that dose, it could harm or kill them. He said most folks just say OK and head out...to another pharmacy.
Yesterday he had a vial of Moderna that he was going to have to waste and announced it over the store speaker and he got THREE folks come up to him for boosters.
