If you can buy it at a tractor supply store and you use it as an alternative to medically tested and proven treatments recommended by doctors across the board, does the rest really matter?
TDS is a cop out. Then venn diagram for Trumptardism, COVID deniers, and antivaxx conspiracy theorists is practically a single circle.

It's weird because the only rational opposition to the currently available vaccines is that they *haven't* been extensively medically tested for long term effects. Which seems to be your gripe with ivermectin? These vaccines have been tested in the short term, yes. Vaccines usually take several years to develop because they do extensive testing for *long term* side effects. Many vaccines are recalled or discontinued due to unforeseen long term side effects. Therefor taking these vaccines is as much taking something on faith as a wacky ivermectin guy is. Yes they do work, but we don't know the long term side effects and you might already HAVE robust immunity to covid from a prior infection- one which you might not have even known about. Because for most healthy people it barely causes any symptoms.
Also nobody is claiming ivermectin is a vaccine, they are claiming it is an effective treatment for those who are already sick. In a hospital setting, under the guidance of an experienced doctor. It's not at all "drink horse medicine" or whatever stupid thing you want to reduce it to.
Banning people for wanting to have good faith, rational discussions of these things is just neurotically crazy and authoritarian. We are adults, let us discuss adult things.
Again I have no dog in the fight with regard to ivermectin, but "used for horse lmao" is not a scientific conclusion. Lots of treatments are used for lots of different things. Don't claim to be scientifically minded if the words "ivermectin" or "hydroxychloroquine" make your brain think of donald trump. You are not thinking clearly at that point, much less scientifically.
