Right! SheltieLover Sep 2021 #3

And she said that a prescription isn't necessary to obtain Ivermectin for your horse which explains why these nutz are getting it so easily - if they can find it. I saw an interview with a guy who runs a store that caters to livestock owners and he said that it's now nearly impossible for him to get it for his legitimate customers.

More fallout from TFG. I'm listening to Mary Trump's new book in my car and on disc #3 she addresses how he did absolutely each and everything wrong handling this pandemic - and, after addressing Ebola, that the Obama administration had all the plans in place for dealing with an epidemic, but TFG just scrapped the whole thing - and they were briefed on these plans!
