If doctors are prescribing this, then why are people getting animal doses? I'm sure there are a few doctors willing to prescribe Ivermectin for COVID but they certainly do run the risk of malpractice by prescribing a medication which is not approved for the condition they are prescribing it for.

As you well know, the FDA approved 3 vaccines for emergency use and now one is fully approved.

Just using your rules and logic. There is a big difference between emergency approval and full approval.

Where descriptions of study methods were sparse or unclear, we attempted to contact authors to clarify methods, but lack of information led us to downgrade findings in several instances. Overall interpretation of findings was hampered due to variability in the participants recruited, treatment regimen, and the care offered to those in control groups. We have tried to take this variation into account through subgroup and sensitivity analyses. Nevertheless, dosing and treatment regimens and the use of ivermectin with other components of “standard care” require further research."


This would explain why the FDA hasn't approved Ivermectin for use against COVID. It's why doctors aren't prescribing it and people in Mississippi have to get it from animal pharmacies.
Yep, I read the study. Are you familiar with off label prescriptions, a common practice where prescription drugs are prescribed for uses not approved by the FDA ? Would it shock you to know this is a common practice to meet medical needs? Would it shock you to know LOTS of doctors around the world are prescribing Ivermectin? You know WHO doesn't "approve" drugs any more than CDC does, right?

Did you read what you posted? Did you really take "Nevertheless, dosing and treatment regimens and the use of ivermectin with other components of “standard care” require further research." and turn that into "this is why the FDA hasn't approved Ivermectin?" Because it needs further research? Curious, did you take one of the vaccines that was not fully approved but allowed to be used under an emergency authority?

They don't. "Off-label prescribing is common. According to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, around 20% of all prescriptions in the United States are for off-label use"

You really should read this before you decide to sue anyone.

Off-license prescriptions isn’t the same as Joe Sixpack going to Chewy.com and ordering up a drug meant for 1500# horse and taking it. The geniuses who can’t figure out the difference between a horse and themselves are suddenly smarter than all the doctors by not taking an approved vaccine because they think it’s dangerous. Would be Mississippi.

I love seeing that chart. Showing the ivermectin start and the decrease in deaths. It’s a graphic used to convince people at first glance that ivermectin did something. I’m not really sure why they would want you to think that, but, what it actually shows is that ivermectin did nothing. Look closely at the graph and you will see that the case fatality rate is fairly constant with an actual increase towards the tail, meaning the cases and fatalities drop roughly in parallel to one another. So the same percentage of infected people were dying from COVID the whole time and towards the end more were actually dying. A better question is why did the cases go down, which would have nothing to do with ivermectin unless the entire population of that area was taking it prior to infection.
