Inmates Weren't Told They Were Given An Anti-Parasite Drug Instead Of COVID-19 Meds

Isn’t part of the prob with ivermectin that folks are taking veterinary size doses?

Is there any approved human use?

I don’t think? They had a thing on NPR about yesterday and they said the company who makes it is telling humans NOT to consume their product…how often does that happen?

Ivermectin is used in humans to treat lice, I believe. My understanding is that the issue is people taking horse dosages out of ignorance.

no one should assume that all physicians are equal...you’ve got D- MDs and A+ MDs, and also some that are always trying to improve and those that settled on the info they had when they graduated med school

there are physicians that still think fasciotomy is a good idea

that some are prescribing ivermectin means jack shit as far as it’s efficacy against covid is concerned

Oklahoma's ERs are so backed up with people overdosing on ivermectin that gunshot victims are having to wait to be treated, a doctor says

Crazy.

Also crazy that 88k prescriptions for the human version have been filled. That must mean a lot of doctors think this works?

My college roommate is a family practice physician, and he has told me more than once that it is common practice to prescribe a low dose of something if a patient is demanding it, assuming that it won't make things any worse.

People get it in their heads that they need something - anything to protect their lives, and appeasing them with a low dose of Ivermectin, even if it doesn't help with COVID, might make them feel more relaxed and in control. Plus, if they have any lice problems, you get that under control in the process.

And, yes, I know, the vaccine is the logical/scientifically-proven way to do that, but you can't always fix stupid.

I think they're anticipating that mutations are going to eventually render the current vaccines useless and are trying to push back the rush for boosters until they have a better idea of what that is going to look like. It's a giant cluster hump, but government officials are terrified of just admitting "We don't know how to fix this. Many of you are going to get sick and some of you are going to die no matter how we respond." We'd have mass hysteria on our hands on an unprecendented level.

Vaccine efficacy appears to wane a tad. Best to get boosters on such a lethal disease for the unvaccinated. Get vaccinated. Stay vaccinated and support ongoing improvements to the mRNA vaccine.

Yeah, the stuff I’ve read today trends a bit grim compared to the vaccine-as-panacea trope from earlier in the year.

The ivermectin treatment for lice is a topical cream, not a pill.

But I was assured that the number of people using ivermectin to treat covid was very small and nothing to worry about so the reports of emergency rooms filled with people who have ingested too much of it must be fake news designed to slander this amazing treatment.

Meh. People will do what makes sense to them. I got vaccinated in April, and I’ll get the booster when it is offered. Until then, I’ll live my life and let others do the same.

It’s one of the side effects of direct-to-consumer TV advertising that don’t tell on tv - “ask your doctor about…..”

Hmmmm. Very strange but of course it's a legitimate coincidence that on September 11th in Los Angles the De La Hoya fight was to take place at the Staples Center and Joe Rogan was supposed to "perform" at the Forum. Both contracted Covid - bad. Meanwhile, Rogan hasn't been cancelled. Yet.
What upsets me is there were several other fights on the card at the Staples Center and instead of still having them - they are "postponed" according to the Staples Center. WRONG! They were moved to Florida and Tito Ortiz vs. Anderson Silva is/was one of them.

Literally in NYC you can get $100 for taking the vax. These people would rather put themselves into a net negative situation of -$300 for beneficial vaccine to....*check notes*...own the libs? Not even sure any more.
