  a respiratory airborne virus isn’t a parasite.

    You can definitely say “joe rogan thinks an anti-parasitic drug works on viruses.”

    I feel like they know this. They’re not defending Joe Rogan, they’re pointing out the very true fact that Ivermectin has, is, and will continue to be used for purposes outside of deworming horses. When you say, “Joe Rogan is dumb because he’s using horse dewormer”, his defenders can (rightfully) correct you by saying “they’re not just horse dewormers, they work for other things too”. When you say, “Joe Rogan is dumb because he’s taking an antiparasitic for a virus”, their only option is to admit he’s an idiot, or admit they’re an idiot.

    That has nothing to do with your original claim.

  You’re getting downvoted but you’re correct. I worked in the pharmacy industry during and before COVID. Ivermectin, as a pill and cream, were being used for a variety of things, human and animal; it wasn’t the most common medication by any means but we always had it in stock and filled it regularly, until the COVIDiots (patients and doctors!) decided it was somehow the cure and started flooding us with prescriptions for the stuff and we had to stop filling them.

  All this to say, unless Rogan has parasites (not ruling it out), no reason to be taking dewormer, horse or otherwise.
