Americans Use the Metric System

It is a horse dewormer. It is used for that and that is what people were buying .
You can’t say the vaccine was rushed and also champion for a different medicine to be pushed through instead just as fast.

Again-
Ivermectin is an anti-parasitic drug, and has been used on humans around the globe since 1987 with outstanding results. Won awards for its effectiveness. Not some unknown medicine to "be pushed through".
The vaccine absolutely was rushed, which is why it needed "emergency" status in the first place.
You're making circles in the logic again.

You are just trying to make it about something it’s not. So yes it is my “circular logic” in the sense that I make a comment, someone else tries to make it about something else, and I stay on topic. If you buy meds from a farm supply store, with dosage instructions for farm animals, you are indeed buying horse meds. It doesn’t matter what it is. You are buying stuff for packaged for horses. It’s that simple

Are we not talking about Ivermectin?
I'm discussing the topic.
I'm not "trying to make it about something else".
I think this is the flaw in your circular logic.
Like many drugs, with ivermectin there are human versions, and animal versions OF THE SAME DRUG.

Of course you are trying to make it about something else. I stated that people took horse meds to illustrate a time that Americans had to convert metric measurements. It was metric because it’s medication and they had to convert it because the dosage was for livestock, and not a prescription for humans. Very black and white.

It had nothing to do with why people were taking it. Just an example of Americans using the metric system in a discussion about Americans and the metric system.

Technically I could give a 4 year old “adult” Tylenol. It’s the same drug, one just has the proper concentration and dosage recommendations for a 4 year old.

Much like you could take otc horse pills concentrated and dosed for deworming livestock, if you chose to do the dosing yourself.

People are free to do dumb stuff if they choose.

And it's not really different "versions," it's just a different dose based on who/what is taking it. Like you're saying, ivermectin is ivermectin whether it has a picture of a horse or a person on the box. It's approved for both. The only difference would be the recommended dose. Dan doesn't seem to understand this; or as per part of his usual MO is being purposefully obtuse so he can make stupid arguments. The only things I could see that would be half relevant to his argument would be 1. if the one with a horse on the package contained other additives specifically for horses or 2. ivermectin was not approved for human use. In this case neither of those 2 come into play.

The only point I'll give Dan is that his basic premise was an example of Americans having to convert to metric. Though given his past behavior I'm almost certain he used the ivermectin example knowing it would bait people into the argument you're having with him so he can play superior and get some jollies out of it. He very well could have used an example of a Japanese box dinner from World Market with cooking instruction using metric units.

lol nothing I’ve said has been less than 100 percent factual.

Stop being a bitch for 5 seconds and answer me this.

Say you went to the doctor and he prescribed you Ivermectin, or any hypothetical drug for that matter.
And he hands you the script and the pickup location is PetSmart. He says “hey don’t worry, it’s the same thing”
I don’t believe for a second that you or anyone else wouldn’t be a little concerned about that. No fucking way.

You work in a lab for fucksakes. Do you think you would have to go through the same QC steps if you were making shit intended to be packaged for livestock vs humans? Cmon now
 
This has nothing to do with the ability of ivermectin to treat COVID, it has to do with the over the counter form people were buying and taking…which was for horses lol. How is this even debatable??

All of the equine products i am seeing online have both ounces and grams listed on the package.
So not much conversion to metric going on there.

Of course it matters, people were taking "horse meds" because doctors were not prescribing ivermectin.
Let's not spin in circles over this.

You're trying to make this about something it's not. I thought we were supposed to be talking about Americans converting to metric units. That's what you were bitching about a few minutes ago.

I'll answer you question anyway. Medicines for both human and animals require strict quality control procedures which for all accounts are equal in status. The only real difference is the governing body that's in charge of the regulations. "Animal" medicines are under the CVM and "human" medicines are under the CDER; both entities are part of the FDA.

I'm starting to see how this circle game is played, and it is juvenile as fuck.
People making different points, about the same subject, is not "making it about something else".
You just say that so you can play dumb and accuse the other person of going off topic, and they are wrong and you are right.
Nothing personal against you, but you could see how this can be pretty aggravating and confusing?

Another good phrase I use whenever you post anything, “consider the source”
