| #14 Referring to I ermectin as horse dewormer is the worst sort of agitprop. It’s indicated by the FDA for use in children, and listed by WHO as an essential human med. |

| #13 The CDC is a fraud organization. No onen says anything because they dole out funding. Think United Way when hearing their expert opinions. |

| #11 Be aware that animal brands of ivermectin and other meds are not processed with the same standards and often with the same other ingredients as those for humans. Even in the animal world many responsible breeders of show and performance / working dogs refuse to use the cheaper OTC livestock version of ivermection for the monthly heartworm prevention that dogs should get, absorbing the higher cost of labeled brands like Heartgard that require a prescription. What a 1,200-1,800 lb bull or horse can tolerate in the way of additives or impurities can do real damage to dogs - or humans. |

| #8 'horse dewormer' nomenclature is so that the Karens and associated busybodies of the left can post on Twitter: 'Dur hur Trump supporters were injecting bleach and now they are taking horse medicine' |

| #7 I can go to a local feed store and buy "horse medicine" versions of azythomycin or penicillin. Does that mean that they're both Horse Medicine? The "Horse Dewormer" thing is a propaganda point. And they have to keep pushing it because if they don't they get found out. And the Tokyo AMA has been pushing for its use, so they need to turn the propaganda up. |

| #4 It works. I have seen the results. I and many others do not believe the medical, news and political propaganda. Go your way and live in a your false sense of security. OH, I understand your thinking. You accept your years of training as 100% correct. Look at your leaders of today. They are far from perfect. Time will tell. The vaccine will have serious impacts for years to come. Burials are running seven days a week now. Help wanted. |

| #3 Probably a good idea to get your doctor involved when dealing with life-threatening illnesses. As it says in Ecclesiastes, there is a time for self-medication, and there is a time to consult your physician. |
