I've been seeing a lot of people advocate for the horse de-wormer ivermectin as a defense against the covid19 virus, and I've come to the conclusion that they could well be correct. After doing some research of my own, I've discovered that there is not a single case of a horse dying, or even getting sick from covid 19 after being "de-wormed". That must be the proof that it works! What do you think?

This was directed at readers who can recognize the humor in it. There's no mention of the "Horse dewormer" being used by humans, the "joke" is that no HORSES got sick! (can't believe I needed to explain this)!

I know a fella who has problems with raw tomatoes. He won't eat them as a result. He explains it this way: every Italian who has eaten raw tomatoes throughout the Renaissance is dead.

Well, you may be interested to know that:
Ivermectin was approved for human use in 1987.
The doctors who discovered Ivermectin won a Nobel Prize in 2015 for its successful use in humans to treat several devastating tropical diseases, including river blindness (onchocerciasis), strongyloidiasis, trichuriasis, ascariasis and lymphatic filariasis, as well as to treat less severe conditions such as head lice and scabies.
Ivermectin is also used in veterinary medicine to treat parasitic diseases.

You need to stop reading from those sources. I have two prescription medications (yes, for HUMANS) in my home right now that contain Ivermectin.

LOL. And I'll bet the worms didn't die from COVID-19 either. (Ray was making a joke.)
