So go to an animal pharmacy to save money on a drug that there's no money in. Nice contradiction.
That is all you got? You know it costs money to go to doctor, right, vs an “animal pharmacy”, right?

ha, nope. It's you that are here defending people taking a non-approved drug at animal doses for COVID.

Yes, they both cost money, except you can use health insurance for one but not the other.

Show your homework. All I have stated is there are doctors prescribing ivermectin. If someone wants to go to a feed store that’s their prerogative, but not at all what I am “defending”, but nice try in putting words in my mouth. Typically really.

Oh, I'll one up you then with a study that says Norway had more restrictions.

But you are right. Comparing two countries' outcomes using only a single factor of restrictions is meaningless. Time to lift the restrictions at least here in the US. Thank goodness I live in a place where there hasn't been anything draconian. People have made their decision to be protected by a vaccine or roll the dice without one.

You are correct, I don't think it's known for certain. My main point though is Fox wreaks of hypocrisy

Maybe the good people of MS can get ivermectin from a doctor, but find it cheaper to go to an animal pharmacy? I can't speak intelligently on the medical habits of the people in MS.

I can note that there is NO MONEY in Ivermectin treatment (an off patent drug) for the pharma companies, while there is BIG MONEY in even emergency authority vaccines for them. Do you think that the pharma companies would spend lots of money on drug trials for Ivermectin, when they will make NO MONEY off them, or would they rather spend money on trials for a new vaccine that they will MAKE BILLIONS on?
From my very limited reading on ivermectin, the MDs advocating for it do seem very credible. One of them was an early proponent of dex. But they’re also believers in all the other public health measures being done to include vaccines. They just think this could be one more tool. I'm open to it.

So bottom-line I have no idea if this stuff works but why not just start with the vaccine which, like I said, these same mds say is a no-brainer?

Think I will stick with only using bag balm designed for animals. It is better than hand lotion for dry hands. Nothing else.

We agree. Both are effective interventions and people and doctors should be free to choose.

I'm fine with that as long long as you continue onto CNN and MSNBC cheerleading the politicians breaking their own dictates (one of which I cited above-Pelosi for the umpteenth time)

So if you will go ahead and call out CNN and MSNBC for us now.
