    No, you’re both total morons and have absolutely no idea what actually works in the real world against viruses. If you think ivermectin is going to help with COVID, you’re a total asswipe and a total moron, there’s no ingredient in ivermectin that has any effect on the COVID virus whatsoever.

    And no “god” is going to protect you from the horrible outcomes of your own ignorance. You don’t get vaccinated, you take your chances at being killed by COVID, it’s that simple. Period.

          Not just cattle parasites. It also cures people parasites. Now I do my best to avoid them rather than needing to cure them, but I’m fortunate enough to live somewhere that that’s an option

            I know it’s sometimes used to treat parasites in people, but I doubt it could do anything to kill the COVID virus. Getting the vaccine took 2 minutes, most of it just waiting to go in for the jab. It was easy and effortless and didn’t cost anything.

              Oh absolutely it’s an anti parasitic not an antiviral. I just think it’s important to not pretend like it’s solely veterinary when it’s one of the most powerful tools we have for a problem that humans very much still face

      There were hypotheses that ivermectin initially looked like it was helping with covid outcomes because it was being used in regions with high amounts of undiagnosed parasite infections. So, by clearing out the parasites, they improved the outcomes of covid co-infections.

        I’m not sure why that would improve outcomes of covid co-infections since COVID is a virus, not a parasite or bacteria, but I think people talk themselves into believing stuff works that couldn’t possibly actually work, (like people who take Prevagen).

          Because parasites add stress to the body and take up resources, so clearing them out leaves the body more capable of fighting off covid.
