FDA is Worried About New COVID Cure
Studies are showing Ivermectin is effectively curing COVID-19, even with just a single dose! The FDA is really worried the public might hear that Ivermectin can be purchased from Pet stores, and even Amazon, in a formulation intended to treat Horses. If we don't need a prescription to get the drug then PhRMA (and hence FDA) loses all control, and can no longer deny the Public access to the COVID cures like they do with Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ).. So the FDA has just released an FAQ telling us not to be naughty

Obviously humans have to be very careful scaling the dose from a 1250lb horse to a 170lb human, the usual human dose is about 18milligrams, or 1 gram of 1.87% horsepaste, or 170/1250 of the dose which is intended for the 1250lb horse. But how can any mathematical risk compare with having to face the disease alone, with no effective antiviral and with Doctors not wanting you anywhere near their surgery or staff? Although the FDA is aware of studies using the drug, it is not telling the public that Ivermectin is an apparently effective anti-COVID drug which has been approved by at least one other country (Peru) for use in COVID-19 therapy as an equivalent to HCQ. Ivermectin has been approved for use in humans for decades, being distributed for free by Merck in African and South American countries to fight parasitic diseases. In the USA Ivermectin is sold as "Stromectol" and we give it to kids for the hair-mites they get in their hair at school. The same dose is effective in COVID (150-200 micrograms/kilogram).
