I don't disagree; it just seemed the sort of question you would want to ask a doctor.

If you are medicating a food animal, you should have already asked a doctor about the medicine you are giving that animal.

Reminding people of simple grammar does not require the intervention of a doctor.

If you are trying to somehow claim that the horse goo you bought at the feed store isn't actually for horses, and is instead for humans, then you very much want to be in contact with a lawyer, rather than a doctor.

I promise, I'm not trying to insult the fellow in the video (or anyone, for that matter.) The point I'm trying to address is that misinformation on the internet doesn't spring up suddenly overnight, like a mushroom...it's usually carefully cultivated. Usually by "internetainers" and "content creators" trying to generate clicks.

The lady in the video is perfectly comfortable discussing medication with (presumably) a stranger on the Internet.

I am pretty sure you have completely misidentified what is going on in that video. I see no sign hose two people are not having a real time conversation.

More likely - One woman recorded a video of reading that label - the clip probably only has a small segment of her presentation. The gent then took that video, clipped down to that bit, added his thoughts, and released it as a sort of response.

Let's just all drop it and we can move forward, hey what?

Bingo!

She’s attempting to put forth a video containing the idea that ivermectin is a medication intended for humans, presumably to prove that its use by humans to fight Covid isn’t completely idiotic.

The man has made a response video (in which he quoted a portion of her video) to illustrate that her entire premise is based on an extremely flawed misreading of the label.

Day 12 Orr 13 of lockdown. First time since the first case we have had declining numbers 53 (83 yesterday).

Someone enjoys lockdown.

Getting tag teamed.

Covid conspiracy protests. Big turnout of 1.

'What the hell happened?' NZ conspiracy group shocked, in disarray after almost nobody turns up to anti-lockdown protest

Cute cat. (I had to edit my first comment as the joke was too easy and a bit too risqué for Eric's Grandma).

First, all of my thoughts are going out to the people of Louisiana and surrounding areas. I was up all night watching that, and I can't imagine having to deal with the natural disaster on top of a pandemic on top of it being during the anniversary of Katrina; the PTSD from that alone ... if you're in an area that has to regularly deal with natural disasters of that type, you just get sinking feeling.

...and it seems like more and more of this country is prone to natural disasters, doesn't it?

In today's terrible pandemic news, a person I know and her daughter are "out with the COVID" which seems like a frighteningly common occurrence recently. Overall numbers in some places are worse than at the prior peak, yet ... no one is doing anything?

It's bizarre. I feel like so many people have made a collective decision to say, "Eff it." The people that have been vaccinated are just wishing a pox (quite literally) upon the unvaccinated, and the unvaccinated* just don't care about other people, and together, no one is doing anything. shrug

*The ones by choice. Words cannot express how difficult this must be to people who are unable to get vaccinated.

I don’t think anywhere on earth is free from catastrophic natural disasters. I was born in NOLA (hurricanes, floods), we moved to the PacNW (earthquakes, volcanoes, blizzards) and for half my life and counting, I’ve lived in one place or another in Tornado Alley.

That said, you couldn’t PAY me to live on the side of an active volcano like Mt. Etna.

As a general matter, I agree. I think I remember reading, a while ago, about where to live in the US if you didn't want to have any natural disasters (hurricanes, earthquakes, flooding, tornadoes, etc. etc.) and it was some place in Connecticut?

....but, for reasons I think we are all likely familiar with, it does seem like the severity and/or occurrence of extreme weather events has been on the upswing, whether it's wildfires due to drought or rapidly intensifying hurricanes.
