This is an old picture from years ago when a store had to ban gangsta types from wearing balaclavas in the store.

Has anyone credible proved that it's a "credible" medicine, or are conservatives still dying on this hill?

Yes. For a long time. Doesn’t appear to be “credible” against covid. The point being made is that the Don Lemon’s of the world referred to it as horse medicine. You can’t possibly be on board with that.

Before Covid, ivermectin was a rarely prescribed drug in western humans.  GI nematodes are rarely encountered here There are much easier anti parasitics to prescribe and it is most commonly used in veterinary medicine

Ivermectin proved to be even more of a ‘Wonder drug’ in human health, improving the nutrition, general health and wellbeing of billions of people worldwide ever since it was first used to treat Onchocerciasis in humans in 1988. It proved ideal in many ways, being highly effective and broad-spectrum, safe, well tolerated and could be easily administered (a single, annual oral dose). 

 

What was the reasoning for your preferred media outlets to refer to it as horse medicine as opposed to trying to report it straightforward?

This article is from 2017, so not political in nature, and shows that it has been used quite often to good effect, just not in western people since we rarely get parasites it kills. But the line I thought was most telling against the "horse medicine" statements "Perhaps more than any other drug, ivermectin is a drug for the world’s poor. For most of this century, some 250 million people have been taking it annually to combat two of the world’s most devastating, disfiguring, debilitating and stigma-inducing diseases". We have known for some time that a quarter of a billion people take it annually but since they are poor liberals don't care.

No, American doctors treat mostly American illnesses.  Unless you work in an International travel clinic, you most likely have never prescribed it.  Common things are common, just not here....

It’s commonly given to horses, and many conservatives bought it from veterinary outlets to get their fix. Do you deny this?

This is how science works and how we find answers to difficult questions.  It's often messy, something greatly misunderstood by many on this board

Invermectin is given to 250 million people a year and less than 1 million horses, you are truly special. As for how it works, maybe read what I posted from 2017 otherwise I don't know what to say because if you are illiterate I can't help you

I don’t deny it, nor do I care who took what or where they got it. It’s a medication, proven safe and effective and used by hundreds of millions of people over decades. Why did your favored media mockingly refer to it as horse medicine? Why not just play it straight?

In the US, it is a horse medicine.  Avoid eating shite and you should never need it:  https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/worms-in-humans/
