Very annoyed FDA begs people to stop taking horse drugs to treat COVID
The FDA is fed up.
The nation's pharmaceutical regulator is clearly irked by the dangerous promotion of the drug ivermectin — used to address parasitic worms in animals and sometimes humans — to treat or prevent the respiratory disease COVID. On Saturday, the agency tweeted:
"You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y'all. Stop it."
In Mississippi, for example, some people are ingesting ivermectin, resulting in a worrying spike in poison control calls. "At least 70% of the recent calls have been related to ingestion of livestock or animal formulations of ivermectin purchased at livestock supply centers," the Mississippi State Department of Health said on Friday.
Like every disease, real prevention is much better for all parties involved than someone falling ill and having to seek treatment. What's more, continued disease outbreaks result in floods of sickened people that overwork and exhaust doctors and nurses, sometimes resulting in trauma. Fortunately, highly effective vaccines are available in the U.S, which undergo rigorous, continued scrutiny for safety from the FDA. They protect over 95 percent (and in some regions 99 percent) of people from severe illness that requires hospitalization.
"In vaccinated individuals, the vaccines will be really protective against the Delta variant, in particular for severe illness, hospitalizations, and death," Dr. Thomas Russo, the chief of infectious disease at the University of Buffalo, told Mashable this week.
As the FDA states online: "FDA has not approved ivermectin for use in treating or preventing COVID-19 in humans." It's particularly bad to use doses meant for large animals, like horses and cows, in human bodies. "Taking large doses of this drug is dangerous and can cause serious harm," the agency said.
Disinformation looms large online and elsewhere these days. Beware. It's best to heed the words of experts who research vaccines and viruses, as opposed to recommendations from feedstores: You want to prevent a serious infection, not try and treat one with an unapproved or unauthorized medicine.
Vaccines have had, and continue to have, excellent safety track records in the U.S. (in addition to eliminating maladies like the crippling disease polio in the nation).
Oh come on! Let’s encourage them .. let evolution take its natural course

ReplyDeleteAt least they are acknowledging COVID exists. Small victories.
ReplyDeleteThis is what it’s come to, eh? People are literally injecting drugs made for animals instead of taking a vaccine made for humans.
ReplyDeleteThe FDA & CDC have both revised their information so many time they still have no idea what or how to treat this threat What happen to the 7 to 10 years of testing before a drug is released to general public, funny they pay big pharm millions of dollars & within 2 weeks there’s a medication available ! The ones making money now are the hospitals finally found away out of the red,& the big pharmaceutical companies, good luck to all
ReplyDeleteThere are some drugs that are not allowed to be used in animals intended for food because it taints the meat. You could take those and then eventually when you get eaten by the zombies it will make them sick.
ReplyDeleteYeah just take the jab cause you know that it’s only right you put all faith and trust in what the FDA AND CDC SAYS. Just ask the nice folks that were part of the Tuskegee study and how bout the ones that took part in MKULTRA!
