Try to keep up Paul. You asserted that it was for use in horses. I provided evidence that clearly that isn’t the exclusive use and that it is in fact safe for human consumption.
Have you ever heard of “off label indications”? It’s clear now that you have little or no idea what you’re talking about regarding medications and their uses, or how fda indications are awarded. I appreciate your unintentional candor though. Lol
Come on Craig, its well known that it has uses for humans. Just not for covid-19. It is a fantastic drug for worms and lice
"ivermectin is an anti-helminthic drug used as a dewormer in veterinary medicine and to treat parasitic diseases in humans, including internal nematode infections such as Onchocerciasis, Strongyloidiasis, Ascariasis, cutaneous larva migrans, filariases, Gnathostomiasis and Trichuriasis, as well as for oral treatment of ectoparasitic infections, such as Pediculosis (lice infestation) and scabies (mite infestation). There is no good evidence that ivermectin is effective against COVID-19, although there are
low quality studies and, yes,
meta-analyses. Worse still for ivermectin as a COVID-19 treatment, the prior plausibility on the basis of basic science is low, because the in vitro cell culture studies that showed activity against SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, required a much higher concentration of ivermectin than is achievable in the blood with standard (or even high) doses of the drug. So, as I have said repeatedly, it’s
possible that ivermectin might have activity against COVID-19 in humans, but not very likely and, even if it does, it’s even less likely that it will be as efficacious as is being claimed"
