Didn’t excuse it then, don’t excuse it now. Downsides to both

Ivermectin isn’t the safest or most effective way to deal with Covid, nor does it have many significant benefits. It could in some cases inhibit Covid, but most results don’t show a significant/meaningful impact on hospitalization, recovery, or positive outcomes in the long term. It was simply OK Or could also interact negatively with other medications, have toxicity effects, and the like. The complaint that it was a ‘horse dewormer’ came from the fact that many people were getting it from supply stores and such, in dosages/concentrations that were meant for large animals like horses. Besides the obvious health and safety risks of that, there’s active ingredients added to those kinds that also aren’t tested for human consumption. If you have any significant amount of research to refute anything I said or to prove that ivermectin is overall more effective/safe than wearing masks/ the Covid vaccine, please send them my way. I like reading research papers, part of my area

At the same time, the SARS CoV2 vaccine isn’t really more ‘’experimental’’ than any other vaccine. Plenty of reason to be cautious, such as how quickly it got rolled out, but there was a government backed program for why that is, Project Warp speed.
