Mississippi health officials are pleading with state residents not to take a livestock drug to treat COVID-19 as calls to poison control centers soar.
Fearful Mississipians skeptical of the safety of vaccinations are shockingly turning instead to swallowing ivermectin generally used to eradicate or prevent parasites in livestock.
Do not use ivermectin products made for animals, Mississippis Health Department flatly stated in a Facebook post Friday. Animal doses are not safe for humans.

He's been doing his best, but he's had to deal with all of these antivaxxers and a stupid governor. He's been kind of like Fauci was with Trump. I hope the people who are living in reality down here appreciate all that Dobbs has done. Hope he gets some kind of award after all this is over, if it ever ends.

Covid is not a parasite/worm. We do not give Ivermectin to horses as a preventative. Its given every 6 months to get rid of whatever they have picked up off the ground, or been laid on them (like bot flies).
