    Where’s all these people when Ketamine is mentioned saying “no you can’t use it in hospitals on people because Vetaket exists” huh? It’s wild watching the world completely accept that Ketamine or Amoxicilin etc can be used on animals and humans, but then be completely propagandized that this one particular dewormer only works on equidae even though it’s been used as a human dewormer since its existence. Sure it does fuck all against covid and claims to the contrary should be shot down but “HoRsE” isn’t it, “viruses aren’t worms” is better.

      To me it’s literally akin to “Corn is used in cow feed” therefore “Corn is only for cows”.
      It’s asinine and stupid.
      Now the clarification could be that “Lesser grade corn is used in cow feed” therefore “you shouldn’t eat cow feed”.

      But that’s never the claim anytime I see “horse dewormer ivermectin” and never has any evidence been provided that it’s any different quality or type of ivermectin in the horse paste. Even if that difference in “quality” would even matter to begin with especially since the drug has been open marketed for so long and it’s production commoditized so much. I wouldn’t doubt for a moment that the same fucking factory pumps out both pill and whatever gets mixed into the horse paste… probably just the original pill product in powder form.
