I get a certain evil pleasure out of knowing all those raging conspiracy theorist kiddies who always comment on my threads about how COVID is just the flu and other nonsense and then rage quit calling me a sheep are now out there taking livestock medication and dying (or getting very sick).

But yyyyeeeeaaaaa the vaccine is the real risk ::rolls eyes::

@freemo @funny I disagree here. Not because I think ivermectin works but because this makes it seem like people in favor of ivermectin are doing this. In reality very few people are using horse ivermectin. Also, it's not as if there is enough conclusive evidence to dismiss ivermectin and I assume that a lot of the polarization surrounding the best covid treatment has made it so that people who are vaccine skeptical are having to resort to using ivermectin made for horses because doctors are not prescribing it for covid. In any case, it'll be interesting to see what kind of mental gymnastics people will use 12-48 months from now when we have more data. I predict that we'll end up with something in the middle where vaccine activist will realize that we should have explored alternative treatments (non-vaccine medications) more aggressively and the vaccine skeptics will see that ivermectin is not a miracle drug against covid although they'll probably still think it was a better choice than the vaccine.

I agree with most of those points. Except that numbers do show a rather large spike in ivermectin poisoning from the veternary form. So it is happening for real
