I had fiber internet installed a week ago. The installer and I got to talking about Covid. He said he got it and started suffering strong-but-not-hospitalish symptoms for about 2 weeks. He got ahold of Rx grade ivermectin and within 3 hours of ingesting started feeling better. His co-worker, who regularly works with cattle and administers ivermectin (getting it all over his skin inevitably), says he’s never had Covid. 2 small anecdata points, but I hear many other stories of its success and I wonder why people are so vehemently against its use.

i regularly handle doggie treats, because i have a good doggo, and i have never had covid.

the same is true for my wife. 2 small anecdata points.

if you'd like more information about our doggie treats, so as to start a prophylactic course of treatment, please let me know.

Even if it did work, it wouldn't work within 3 hours. You probably also took a Tylenol or Advil at the same time. Or maybe it made you feel better later because you had some parasite.
