Yep. Injectable as GP shows can use same carrier, but people aren't using injectable nor do they adjust dosages from what I have seen on the net.
Meanwhile, even if ivermectin worked, it would be secondary to vaccination because you want to prevent as much as early as possible. Should any of those wonder drugs end up working, it wouldn't help ICU capacity much :-(
I think he might have meant the dosage that it is sold in is different.
Ivermectin for treating parasites is typically supposed to be taken as a single dose. For some parasites it might need to be repeated in 3 to 12 months.
If a doctor prescribes it to treat a human I'd expect the prescription to be for the right amount of pills for your body weight to deliver that single you-sized dose.
Horse ivermectin is sold in a quantity suitable for a 1250 pound horse.
From what I've read it appears that a lot of people buy that horse-sized single dose and use it all. Worse, a lot of them seem to take it daily.
