Implying it is for livestock exclusively fuels misinformation on the internet. Someone who actually genuinely needs ivermectin might not take it because of these lies.

Ivermectin is also available in other forms such as a paste for veterinary use in horses and other animals. (I am not recommending anyone take veterinary medicine.)
The people in hospital are not taking Ivermectin as prescribed by a physician. They're buying horse dewormer and dosing themselves.
It's ridiculous to treat them as the same thing. I truly cannot believe you are incapable of seeing the difference.
Please don't strawman. I never made a claim to the contrary in the parent comment. Debate in good faith or what's the point?
I’ve seen a lot of people doing this “gotcha” correction regarding its use for humans, which while true, doesn’t change the fact we have a bunch of people taking horse medicine.
It is something that can easily be taken wrong (given it has interactions with other meds), that's why people should take it under the direction of a doctor.
