The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have said the drug does not help prevent or treat coronavirus, and this week issued a health advisory detailing an increase in severe illness caused by taking ivermectin.
Calls to US poison control centers about ivermectin exposures increased five-fold from the pre-pandemic baseline, with an especially sharp rise in July 2021, a CDC report said.
The Food and Drug Administration asked people to stop taking the drug, stating "You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y'all. Stop it."
The good thing is this: not everyone who doesn’t want a shot instead takes things like this. I would wager that most who don’t want the jab simply want their own immunity vs. any drug.
It does show the power of how social media contains a wealth of poor advice across the spectrum. I’ve seen posts saying you should dump your life savings into Bitcoin, GameStop, MyPillow (not even a publically traded company) which is pretty unsound financial advice.
