Covid 19 conspiracies dump

[Rev. Rye]

Just for the record, the problem isn’t just that people are using the wrong formulation of Ivermectin. It’s that, while some studies have shown promise in using ivermectin to combat COVID, there is a catch: the dosage approved for humans is not enough to actually do the job. To get the desired effect, it has to be present at a concentration that’s lethal in humans. Not lethal in very rare cases, we’re talking “a visit to the ER with your only hope of survival being that you took it recently enough that you can get your stomach pumped” lethal. If you’re taking it in human-approved doses, it’s useless in fighting COVID. A medicine that only works when you give someone enough of it to kill them isn’t a very practical medicine. Unless you’ve got river blindness, or are concerned that someone might try to poison you with it in the future, but I don’t know if ivermectin is one of those poisons where mithridatism actually works.
