FDA about Ivermectin: "You are not a horse," "You are not a cow. Seriously, y'all. Stop it."

On Twitter, the FDA was more declarative in its warning.

“You are not a horse,” the agency said. “You are not a cow. Seriously, y’all. Stop it.”

The FDA said it has received multiple reports, including some in Louisiana, of people who have “required medical support and been hospitalized after self-medicating with Ivermectin intended for horses.”

“Taking large doses of this drug is dangerous and can cause serious harm,” the FDA said.

According to an anti-vaxer, "The label says it works for covid."
Do you suppose they tap each other on the forehead while administering?
