You can already buy it over the counter for animals . A lot of nothing practically, nice for PR.

Super late on it too, most people cared about it during COVID. On that note some people buy antibiotics for fishies and just keep it in the fridge for when they get sick. People always find a way.

Yeah nobody was prevented from buying and using it if they wanted, it was always available at my local tractor supply. Most people around here just weren't dumb enough to take dewormer as some magic cure all to a virus.

A different perspective on medicine and parasitology & shots. Not a popular topic but I am undergoing my own parasite cleanse (not Ivermectin for the cleanse, at least) for four days now, and I've noticed a change in my sleeping pattern. I'm actually getting more sleep, less tossing and turning :)

Parasites are hugely ignored in people and can cause all sorts of issues long term. Most people don't realize these parasites dump and circulate waste throughout the body that collects and stagnates etc.

Correct, they are ignored, are very damaging. That is one of the reasons I'm trying out a parasite cleanse, to dump out any waste that has accumulated in the body over the years.

All drugs should be available over the counter.

'Muh freedom' to take a de-wormer for viral diseases, upheld by the Florida Senate!

But God is telling you to do it ("parents have a God given right and responsibility"), so it must be kosher.

Sorry, wrong God. Halal.

No, still wrong God. The Christian God, so it was blessed by the Pope.

No, wrong branch of religion. Uhh... well our God as interpreted by our religion said it was OK anyway. Not your God, who doesn't even exist.

Reminds me of that bit that Ricky Gervais did
