The truth about Ivermectin

This is a fantastic video!
We all know how "junk science" has played a part in Covid misinformation that the right wing antivax movement pushes extensively.
Ivermectin is a huge player in this & has been amplified to the moon by the right as a cure and a prevention against Covid.
Wellp........let's take a good hard look at Ivermectin.

There are still millions of Americans out there who think Ivermectin worked.

I've told this here before, but my next door neighbor was a Trumpster and she had her 3rd bout of bladder cancer. She was on Chemo about a year ago, but a lady in her church group told her that Ivermectin cured cancer as well as Covid. She discontinued Chemo against her doctor's advice and started taking Ivermectin. She died late last Summer. I think she had Covid to go with her cancer at the end, but not sure the cause of death.

Super nice neighbor, no idea how she could tolerate Trump, but she was a naive widow who probably just believed whatever her church group told her to believe. This misinformation kills people. Just a terrible waste, my neighbor maybe could still be playing with her grandkids in her pool this Summer, The neighborhood misses her.

If you take it, and feel better afterward, inevitably, you must have been infected with worms!

Unfortunately most right wingers have no clue that there is a difference between parasites and viruses.

issues related to one's privacy?

Maybe the only way to get the court to agree that the use of Ivermectin is illegal in the fight against Covid is to declare that Ivermectin causes zygotes to self-abort.

Covid is a virus, the same mechanism that makes penicillin type drugs useless for treating colds and other viruses. Ivermectin can treat protozoa and other parasites but not viruses.

Correct me if I'm wrong.
