Some of the side-effects that may be associated with ivermectin include skin rash, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, facial or limb swelling, neurologic adverse events (dizziness, seizures, confusion), sudden drop in blood pressure, severe skin rash potentially requiring hospitalization and liver injury (hepatitis).

on Facebook. Her husband died of pneumonia which turned out to be covid-19. When he was taken to the hospital, she insisted that he not be given any vaccines of any kind.

I can name a few people with wormy hearts but I don't think they can be cured with ivermectin. Maybe the MAGAts could be persuaded to take laxatone for hairballs, use a sulfur dip for mange, and wear flea collars.

made some interesting findings re ivermectin & CV in vitro (in a test tube). The ivermectin was apparently found to to be effective against the virus so further in vivo (in live animals) testing was planned.

It looked quite promising but I have heard nothing since.

It kills all kinds of things. I’m not sure the coronavirus has much in common with lice or guineaworms however.
