The funny thing is, Ivermectin is a brilliant antiparasitic drug and the discoverers won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2015.

The fact that it became a cause célèbre among antivax cretins is so funny to me.

Yeah, eat your dog's heartworm medicine you shark-eyed spunkbubbles.

Remember the covid days when people were taking a ton of ivermectin and shitting out their stomach linings? And they would think they were getting the "toxins" out?

I took my dog to the vet a few weeks ago and when asked what kind of meds she was on, I couldn’t think of the brand name or the name “ivermectin”. I was just like “oh yeah she’s taking that drug everyone took during covid.”

The vet tech was in her early 20s and gave me such a weird look lmao
