Good thing I've been scalping all this horse paste. Soon I'll be rich.

I didn't follow it. Does it help? What is it normally used for

---

Yeah well maybe you should do some research, TC!

lmao

It helps to kill worms and other parasites in horses
Among anti vaxxers it's the new hydroxychloroquine

Hows horse paste sales?

Speaking of hydroxychloroquine, had a patient call on Tueday and tell me that the CDC quietly admitted that it's effective against COVID, but they are too embarrassed that they were wrong to say it loudly. Said our corporate policy should change to allow for unrestricted filing of it for COVID.

i wish pharmacists would refuse to fill those bogus perscriptions

It turns out it helps according to some studies coming out of India, I think S America as well. It does the same thing the mrna vaccines do in that it blocks the protein from attaching cuz it's already latched on, it's just not near as effective. Still better than nothing, would have been good to know at the beginning of the pandemic, but rendered entirely moot with the vaccine supply already meeting the needs. I think it was something like 30% effective at preventing the virus compared to placebo group and helped people from getting as sick.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8088823/

For countries without access to the vaccines it would probably help significantly. I got both shots and I'm already itching for my Delta variant booster in a country with more vaccines than we're ever going to need, which is what really makes the entire thing silly.

horses need it more than the humans who made horrible choices.
horse medication doesn't work on humans for coroni infections.

the shot works.

This makes reference to the Elgazzar study which was entirely withdrawn

We actually saw a prescription for this a few months ago and the pharmacist actually called the doctor to ask what the hell they were treating with it

Which is one among near two dozen studies cited, Table 1

Why not just get vaccinated, lots of evidence that works

Who was that guy who'd post long ass posts about this stuff?

Many of the studies that have purportedly found this are sketchy af.

Etc. At one point it kinda looked like there might be a small effect, buy now it seems likely that the majority of any signal present was fraudulent.

Did they provide you with a link or some proof of this claim?

I don't get why people are getting hung up on ivermectin being used for horses, like that's supposed to be a slight against it. It's been used to treat parasites in humans for around 40 years now. It still sees widespread use in Africa for stuff like river blindness. That being said, you're a fool if you're taking it to prevent covid or in lieu of getting the covid vaccine. But people trying to make it sound like humans don't already take ivermectin for legitimate uses, are just ignorant.

It's just a potshot. Which honestly is all it really deserves at this point.

I mean yeah it's not just for horses

But it's an antiparasitic

Covid is not a parasite

But it could kill you! I'd rather pester a doctor to prescribe me an unproven off-label treatment of another drug and pay $200 a pop for it!

I assume horse paste can kill you due to the poison control calls, and people still take it.
