The thinking in this comment is incredibly muddled.
Scientists and doctors have not concluded that ivermectin is effective. Some studies have claimed efficacy, most have not.
The dosages of ivermectin claimed to be effective against covid is much higher than the dosage that's safe for humans.
Horse dewormer is not the same as Ivermectin. It contains ivermectin, at a dosage higher than what's safe for humans, and it also contains other compounds that have not be judged safe for humans.
Why trust the muddled science on ivermectin, and ignore the more conclusive science on vaccines? If the scientific process is good enough to discover ivermectin, why isn't it good enough to discover good vaccines?
