Five Oregonians have been hospitalized recently due to the consumption of an antiparasitic drug, ivermectin, despite no clinical data supporting its use in the protection against COVID-19.

The Oregon Poison Center has managed 25 cases involving the use of ivermectin between Aug. 1 and Sept. 14. Two of the five Oregonians hospitalized required intensive care.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved ivermectin tablets to treat people with intestinal strongyloidiasis and onchocerciasis, two conditions caused by parasitic worms, according to the FDA website. Some topical forms of the drug are approved to treat head lice and skin conditions, like rosacea.

1. I told my hairdresser this. She said they must've overdosed. Sigh.

2. Hard to find empathy for their foolishness.

However, they're ultimately victims of a deliberate disinformation campaign aimed at sowing distrust and prolonging the Pandemic through the 2022 midterms.

I know that sounds like but I'm running out of alternate theories.

3. They should be admitted to a veterinary hospital and fed hay and oats....

and a couple of sugar cubes at bedtime if they promise to keep their damn mouth shut.

4. Those are presumably the same people who refuse to vaccinate

because vaccine is supposedly unsafe.

5. This saddens me greatly. Somewhere an innocent horse may be going without its meds.
