nmates being given Livestock dewormer as Covid treatment in County Jail, Fayetteville

not fda approved though some clinical trials in labs (NOT on people but petri dishes and test tubes!) are currently ongoing... and yet idiots are rushing out to buy horse wormer based on the idea that ivermectin--NO FDA approval, not completed trials, not tested on people--will save them from covid while refusing point-blank to get the fda approved, SAFE vaccines developed FOR people! fucking crazy.

Here’s What You Need to Know about Ivermectin
FDA has not approved ivermectin for use in treating or preventing COVID-19 in humans. Ivermectin tablets are approved at very specific doses for some parasitic worms, and there are topical (on the skin) formulations for head lice and skin conditions like rosacea. Ivermectin is not an anti-viral (a drug for treating viruses).

Never use medications intended for animals on yourself. Ivermectin preparations for animals are very different from those approved for humans.

When Can Taking Ivermectin Be Unsafe?
The FDA has not reviewed data to support use of ivermectin in COVID-19 patients to treat or to prevent COVID-19; however, some initial research is underway. Taking a drug for an unapproved use can be very dangerous. This is true of ivermectin, too.

There’s a lot of misinformation around, and you may have heard that it’s okay to take large doses of ivermectin. That is wrong. Even the levels of ivermectin for approved uses can interact with other medications, like blood-thinners. You can also overdose on ivermectin, which can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, hypotension (low blood pressure), allergic reactions (itching and hives), dizziness, ataxia (problems with balance), seizures, coma and even death.

I think that the people who take medication for animals, consider the lack of approval from the FDA as an endorsement.
 
FOX TV's Laura Ingraham: We know that our FDA has in many ways failed us
by not allowing for the use of Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, both of which
are used around the world to reduce COVID hospitalizations and death.

FOX TV's Sean Hannity: I pelted them with questions about COVID-19
and the vaccine and therapeutics hydroxychloroquine, Ivermectin ...
as well as other proactive treatments and practices that are already helping
COVID -19 patients all across the country.

FOX TV's Tucker Carlson: On June 5th [Bret] Weinstein discussed the benefits
of a drug called Ivermectin, which can and is used around the world to treat and
prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

FDA -"Do not take Ivermectin for COVID"
NIH - "Do not take Ivermectin for COVID"
WHO - "Do not take Ivermectin for COVID"
Merck, company that makes Ivermectin - "Do not take Ivermectin for COVID"

- Daily Kos
 
All of the Trumpland and MAGA country states overfilled the hospitals
with unvacinated patients in every available space, including the emergency
room halls and corridors. Add MAGA loons suffering from Ivermectin
poisoning, despite nationwide warnings on every form of media. Their
own state's Poison Control said to knock it off.

"Rash, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, neurological disorders, severe hepatitis
requiring hospitalization. No, these aren't symptoms associated with any COVID
vaccine. They are symptoms associated with ivermectin toxicity"

Editorial: Step away from the livestock meds.

Rash, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, neurological disorders and potentially severe
hepatitis requiring hospitalization.

(Mayor) Dennis Newberry, is on record, via his own public (now removed or set private)
Facebook post, saying he has “procured” some ivermectin for a longtime friend who
he says is deathly ill with COVID-19. (Sidenote: He put quotes around ivermectin,
which also worries us a bit.) Newberry mentions that his friend is in the hospital,
but the mayor is asking for prayers in hopes that trained health-care workers will
stand aside and allow his friend to be dosed by amateurs with a drug commonly used
to treat parasites in horses. If you are not typically in the horse-deworming business
and are just hearing about ivermectin, the FDA has made a point of saying it does
approve it as a COVID-19 treatment. “You are not a horse. You are not a cow.
, y’all. Stop it,” the agency tweeted over the weekend in a plea to those planning
to dabble in a little ivermectin self medication.

Reports of poisonings have been pouring out of a handful of states hard-hit
by the COVID surge, as desperate people attempt to self-medicate with a
livestock de-wormer called Ivermectin.
