I’m going to break my own rule and post in this thread…

My neighbor is a nice guy, we run our cattle at each others pastures depending on what we need for genetics and compatibility with bulls. He is a rancher and an electrician and did the wiring my my shop and some in my house when I built it.

He took Ivermectin. I’m guessing he took 2 mL in a drink of water. I know he made himself horribly sick a few years ago when he gave himself a shot of oxymycene (tetracycline based vet med).

I can’t understand the thought process that a vaccine developed specifically for humans is less safe than a vet med where the manufacturer specifically says it is NOT safe for humans and further reccomend that an animal treated with that product not be slaughtered for human consumption for 14 days after treatment.

I get that people are scared, the various forms of media have done everyone a huge disservice, and people choose who they can trust based on political agendas rather than fact based reporting… Even if I was concerned about getting vaxed, I don’t think I would resort to vet meds, or some other unproven treatment because ‘you can’t trust what’s in that vaccination’ or ‘you don’t know the long term effects of those mRNA drugs’… YMMV. This IS a personal decision, we each get to choose our path here, I don’t disrespect those who choose to skip the vax or put vet meds into their bodies. That form of uncontrolled research is up to you.

From the Ivermectin label…


CAUTIONS

1. IVERMECTIN LIQUID for horses has been formulated specifically for use in horses only. The product should not be used in other animal species as severe adverse reactions, including fatalities in dogs, may result.

2. Some horses have experienced reactions with swelling and itching shortly after treatment. In most such cases, the horses have been diagnosed as carrying heavy infections of Onchocerca microfilariae, and it is assumed that the reactions were the result of microfilariae dying in large numbers. Although the signs have resolved spontaneously in a few days, symptomatic treatment may be advisable. Consult your veterinarian should these symptoms persist.

Warnings
Treated horses must not be slaughtered for use in food for at least 14 days after the latest treatment with this drug. Avoid smoking and eating while handling. Protect eyes from direct contact with the product and wash hands after used. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
