Every time anyone mentions Ivermectin in a negative light, I assume they are utterly uneducated.
Yeah, dimwitted political driven numbskulls pointed out it was originally approved for animal parasitic infections.. that was in 1981...
By the late 80's it was approved for human uses. While the initial FDA approval was for parasitic infections, which it cured dozens of, it was found to have anti-inflamatory and antiviral properties. It was prescribed for a bunch of issues and won its inventor a Nobel prize for creating one of the most important drugs in human history..
In the years before Covid, the FDA sanctioned ongoing studies into its use as an anti inflammatory drug, and antiviral drug, and as a treatment for certain cancers.. they are all still in clinical trials...
See they didnt get emergency rush clearance because unlike all these other treatments, Ivermectin's patents expired ages ago... pills are super cheap... there is no money to be made on them...
i have no idea if it worked vs covid or not, but every single person including doctors who claimed it was just a horse dewormer was either being intellectually dishonest, or they were an idiot who had no clue what they were talking about... so using it as an insult isnt the flex you think it is..
