Hat tip, Bluesky

Truly the stupidest cult. Obsessed with a drug that doesn't work against an infectious disease that they don't even think is real.

1. Stupid people are breeding.

[aeromanKC]

2. I have zero thoughts and prayers for anyone dying taking it.

[NickB79]

3. It was always OTC

In the livestock meds aisle 🤣

[Bayard]

14. Exactly

Just go to the horse aisle at Tractor Supply. Or, order it online. Duh.

[evolves]

4. "Cattle and swine"

That about covers it.

(With apologies to actual cattle and swine...)

[BidenRocks]

5. It's not Fentanyl that's killing people!

Just sayin'.

[Bluetus]

6. Well, I guess we wont have to worry about Texans having horse worms.

Bless their hearts.

[BootinUp]

7. The labeling on the box regarding what it is used for seems clear to me. nt

[Bluejeans]

8. This news requires a quote from my departed father (a world class food and flavor scientist)

"You can't help stupid people!"

[usonian]

9. Tractor Supply sells it. So must a great number of hardware/animal supply stores.

This is from the description of one item.

Special Precautions

For application in horses only. Administration to other species may cause highly adverse side effects to occur-including death.

[llmart]

10. Well, if someone is stupid enough to take it after reading that...

I say "thanks for thinning the herd".

[cstanleytech]

13. There might not be much thinning if they already managed to breed.

[Solly Mack]

11. A worm-free Texas by New Years!

Damn

[cstanleytech]

12. RFK probably drinks it by the gallon to treat that brain worm of his.

[ananda]

15. Is this worthy of a Darwin award?

Anyhow, it should cull the Magat herd a bit.

[The Wizard]

16. At least

they won't have worms,

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

17. MAGA Texans should take all the Ivermectin they can.

[PSPS]

18. Youtube is awash in ads for this with claims that it cures ... everything!

[The Wizard]

19. Texas

Where the men are men and the sheep are nervous.

[mountain grammy]

20. Praise Jeeeeeeeesus!

21. So, how many people died from taking Ivermectin?

I hear that if it’s 10 or more, the CDC will take it off the approved list. Just like they are doing with child vaccinations,
