People are literally buying it from Tractor Supply when doctors won't prescribe it. That's why people say horse dewormer. It is literally horse dewormer they are taking.

Sure, but still a false equivalence and a strawman at best. The few people who bought horse dewormer to get ivermectin doesn't discredit those who "smartly" bought the correct human dose for ivermectin.

When most conversation is asynchronous, it usually turns out:

[Ivermectin Mentioned]

"That's horse dewormer."

[Person internally: No it's not, it's a real drug. Scrolls past your conversation thinking 'this person doesn't know what they're talking about']

Both people then go away having learned nothing.
