To whatever extent there were loonies using rural king ivermectin it was because the covid loonies were making it impossible to get the medical grade version. This was a crime and should be treated as such. There was already some evidence that IVM was effective in treating the virus.Off label use of Ivermectin has been taking place since the '80s. It is something that should be studied.
At the urging of loonies, during the pandemic people were buying horsepaste (some urging parents to give horsepaste to children) at Rural King and ending up s***ting themselves to death, in comas or dying as a political statement or in response to conspiracy nutters.
