Stutsy, I am
definitely very intentional in what I say, to the nth degree, and I'm trying to convey information. But this is what I'm referring to when I humbly say that I believe you miss things because you are CONVINCED a-priori, before all of the facts are in.
I have almost always used those descriptions, NOT to say that Ivermectin was known as a wonder drug for COVID, (
as that debate is obvious, or certainly SHOULD be obvious as it's why the drug comes up for discussion in the first place), but to counter the massive misinformation that it is a veterinary medicine, not intended for humans. If you're paying attention, I frequently mention that it has been used around the world on millions of humans for a wide range of uses, (
as it was found to be useful for medical applications that extend well beyond it's initial intent).
I'm simply letting them know that it is indeed a human drug, it's not just a run of the mill human drug, but one that all scientists, researchers and doctors had previously heaped praise upon, prior to COVID. IMHO, there is a reason that they don't want this super effective and versatile drug in use. Very specific reasons. I thought it was HORRIBLE, that with all of the other unbelievably dishonest and Orwellian things being done during the pandemic, that they would do a hit job on this drug to ensure that folks COULD NOT use it. Doctors will not prescribe it, and those that do find that Insurance companies have colluded to not pay for it, and even if you have an Insurance company that pays for it, many pharmacies will not fill the prescription. This level of collusion is unheard of, yet folks like
@Stumpfan and
@DM8 throw the "conspiracy" label at any honest person who notices and points it out. I mean, the freaking FDA put a picture of a vet and nuzzling a horse on their web page when talking about it. Misinformation, and misleading "studies" regarding it's effectiveness are all over the place, meanwhile, our ERs and hospitals were spilling over with patients.
TL;DR
I'm using the terms "miracle drug" and "wonder drug" to let people know that all of the experts gave these labels and were SUPER high on the drug prior to the collusion occurring during this pandemic, and that it is a HUMAN medicine used for decades to help some of the most needy and desperate humans in third-world countries, with all kinds of issues. Not to imply that it is guaranteed to also be a miracle cure for COVID.
