FDA warned a horse drug will not cure COVID-19. Oklahoma just sold out of it.

The FDA has released a statement debunking the use of Ivermectin, a veterinary medication, as a treatment for COVID-19 infection. Nevertheless, stores in the state of Oklahoma report selling out of the product.

“You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y’all. Stop it,” the FDA tweeted over the weekend.

Ivermectin is an anti-parasite medication typically used to treat worm infection in horses, cows, pigs and other livestock. Ingestion or injection of Ivermectin in humans could cause long-lasting damage to the body.

“Once the damage is done in these situations, you’re not coming back,” an FDA spokesperson told NBC News.

Over scientists who have actual data they base their opinions on?

Sad. Stupid and sad.

But they'll pay to take Ivermectin instead of the FREE FDA-approved vaccine. I'm not rooting for excess deaths in Oklahoma due to Covid 19, but they're coming.

that COVID-19 is caused by a virus, not by a protozoan parasite. OK returns its hydroxychloroquine stockpile. OK residents become excited about the deworming medication, ivermectin. People warn OK that COVID-19 is caused by a virus, not by a parasitic worm, but OK isn't listening to communist revisionists anymore!

Coming up! Oklahomans are jabbing rusty nails into their feet so they can get tetanus booster shots to protect themselves from COVID-19
