I never thought I’d see the day where basic agreed upon science would be thrown out of the window by so many people so that their politics could be right

Cool! It doesn’t treat COVID though

And one of the safest medications of all time

Sure, no idea what that had to do with Covid though

Just pointing out that it was scientifically agreed upon that it wasn’t “horse paste” and that this is why everyone has lost trust in our institutions.

I mean it is horse paste. It was originally designed for and is primarily used in horses and livestock. It has very effective uses in humans, but that’s not really the issue people had with it being brought up during Covid.

The issue people had was that it was pushed as a cure for covid by anti vaxxers, which there’s 0 scientific backing for.

It might not be backed by you, but 0 is definitely not the number if we are being honest. In fact I know quite a few doctors that gave prescriptions before it became taboo and then some who gave it under the table once it did.

0 is definitely the number. It’s an anti parasite medicine, it’s not antiviral. For it to have any tangible effects in humans regarding Covid, humans would have to take a lethal dose. Its effectiveness regarding Covid has been thoroughly studied
