Ha! Guess I'm just a dumbass, cause I'm one of those idiots taking ivermectin. Confession here: I'm fully vaccinated and totally believe in the vaccine, but this Delta variant is relentless, so I'm doing whatever else I can, too. No side effects so far, and it's been a few months.
And it's not the horse version. A doctor prescribed the human version for me, which is pretty harmless having been taking by billions of people worldwide for that nasty river blindness stuff in Africa.
I read everything I could get my hands on about it, and if a few doctors were using it successfully, I decided, why not? Also, it appears to have kept my son out of the hospital when he got severe covid.
And a bonus! If I get lyme disease, I'm in luck, because they're starting to use it to treat that nasty stuff.
I can laugh at the satire and humor about it, though. I'm a pretty tolerant sort of other people's opinions. I'll let you know if I start neighing. :)
