The guy commenting on the video pointed out that she added a comma. The actual label reads, ‘Do not give to horses intended for human consumption’, which is a whole different meaning. In other words, this stuff is so bad for humans, don’t give it to a horse you intend to eat.

This wounds my very soul and makes me laugh. Ever see the book "Eats, Shoots and Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation"?
Is it "Let's eat, Grandma!" or "Let's eat Grandma!"?
Ivermectin, by the way, is formulated for humans in some cases. It's a drug that's at the center of the eradication efforts for river blindness, and has resulted in the eradication of guinea worm in humans. It's a big deal.
But NOT FOR FUCKING COVID.
I know it’s used for humans (most frequently for skin parasites), but the rampant, unstoppable, juggernaut of ignorance employed by the people using it for COVID seems to prevent them from understanding that the dosages for livestock are measured in milligrams per kilo of body weight, while the dosages for human are in micrograms. And these mouth-breathers are taking it by the teaspoon.
