Along_the_Wire I’m just pointing out that it could be a cheap tactic to discredit it, which ultimately has no relevance as to whether it’s actually useful or not.

Likewise citing that it’s backed by “lunatic anti-vaxxers” could be a lazy attempt to discredit by association, which again has no actual bearing on its potential efficacy.

Again, I genuinely don’t feel informed enough to weigh in on whether it may or may not be beneficial, but I’m just noting some snide deflection which doesn’t contribute anything to the relevant debate.

      hugopal appears to relate to the fact that it’s commonly used on horses

      I think this will be a surprise to most but it’s actually most commonly used on humans with great success (Africa mostly). Which is why the online branding of it as a drug for horses only seems a little cynical to me and suggests a smear campaign. I wonder why?
      I’ve bought bangers off shady bastards in dark corners of clubs for many a year, passing said bangers onto friends who danced, skipped and whistled whilst necking them without so much as a by your leave. I’d defo sample this stuff if push came to shove. I’m not on board with the current withchunt. Perception is key. I do agree that Rogan is a fuckin douchebag however. I only watched the podcast for the guests, which I’m sure 99% of viewers did anyway.

        No snide. Anti-vaxxers are pushing for full tests and big pharma has form of something gets in their way ie AZ

          Committed to the cause to the last. Last words were literally Make America Great Again.

          One less fucking idiot.

          LT42 there’s really weak evidence to indicate it may help with shortening duration of symptoms post-infection for some people, but there is absolutely no evidence for prophylactic use.

              What people don’t seem to understand (because they’re stupid) is that there is Ivermectin for human use but over this way it is prescription only. Consuming the over the counter medications for horses and cows is so beyond idiotic I’ve already wasted too many words. Could the approved-for-human use help with Covid? Doubtful but I suppose in some people it could help for some odd reason. The animal version? You’re likely to end up in a far worse place than if you just rolled with Covid. It sure as fuck won’t work as a preventative measure.

                  jonattonyeah absolutely. that was my way of saying as nicely as possible that these people are definitely the same group as anti vaxers.

                    GlaxoSmithKline are my favorite. Their selling strategy is to pair an MD who generally knows what they’re talking about with an absolute thunderbabe for the sell. They’re barred from working directly with us as a gov’t department but they do trainings (with a nice catered lunch) for our community partners. I go sometimes - for the free lunch and to see what 24 year old fox they have peddling their wares. It’s never dull.

                        jonattonyeah yeah I have a friend who fills that role. Her work attire is tucked in yet nearly completely unbuttoned shit with a suspiciously mismatched bra. Right after college she was involved in that scandal with Wellbutrin being sold as a treatment for ADHD. Was absolutely bathing in money and comped vacations.
