To have referred to it only as horse dewormer was part of thought out plan to push people toward the death stab.
It has no known antiviral mechanism. Its primary function is as a dewormer. Worms can interfere with Covid treatments, but that is not a real problem in the USA. If your doctor thinks you have worms, he definitely should give you a prescription for ivermectin.
Ivermectin has minor side effects, but much worse than the "death stabs", which has proven almost completely harmless. Worse yet, when idiots self prescribe, they often take huge doses of ivermectin, and can do some harm to themselves.
Why the fuck should anyone care that a patient and doctor want to try ivermectin?
There is a deeper question in there: why should any drug require prescriptions? Why should some drugs be illegal? If you want to "treat" your depression with meth, who am I to tell you not to. That is a totally separate debate.
But if we have prescriptions, then they should be limited to we know works. There were some studies in worm infested areas that showed ivermectin in conjunction with antivirals helps with Covid. There were massive, quick studies done in developed countries, hoping to reproduce that result. Because these developed countries did not have worms, they did not get positive results.
You filthy fucks tried to make it impossible to get ivermectin and lots of people made lots of money doing it.
I am not part of any medical body, and have no say over drug approvals. Having said that, ivermectin is readily available if you have a valid prescription. If you can find a doctor who agrees with your beliefs, all he has to do is write you a prescription.
Several states have passed laws allowing it to be sold over the counter, meaning you do not need a prescription.
States have expanded access to over-the-counter ivermectin, raising concerns among health experts about safety, misinformation, and self-medication risks.

Go fuck your dog asshole. We'll whistle for you when we need advice from an.asshole.
Where we are right now is that your health opinions are being adopted as the rules, and the health advice of the experts is being outlawed. The worst part of that is that we are taking health advice from one of the few demographics that is losing life expectancy... Through bad health decisions. This is a disaster.
