Over the last several decades, the Food and Drug Administration has allowed pharma companies to sell hundreds of drugs to patients without adequate evidence that they work and, in many cases, with clear signs that they pose a risk of serious harm.

          Elon took all the horse tranqs (ketamine).

          The horse paste majic covid cure (trust me bro, my brainworm never lies), was Ivermectin.

              … somewhat ironically, it is at least barely, slightly plausible that ivermectin could have taken out the brain worm…

              it is an actual anti-parasitic, but uh… its only been tested and approved as an anti-parasitic for humans via oral ingestion…

              … but it is intravenously administered to cows and pigs as an anti-parasitic.

              So… IV ivermectin in a human could potentially work, but … good luck figuring out the right dosage, and hopefully human bio chemistry and blood brain barrier just function identically as within pigs and cows.

              I am not a medical expert, but I suspect that latter part just maybe might not be a great assumption.
