So apparently they're eating dog food now?
Ivermectin for canines doses
@winjim - do you know Ivermectin has NOT got beneficial therapeutic effects against COVID-19?
Not dog food - please keep up!
Ivermectin is a cheap antiparasitic drug widely used for nearly 50 years in animals and humans. It is a treatment used for adults suffering from bad Scabies and people with intestinal strongyloidiasis and onchocerciasis, two conditions caused by parasitic worms, so in human medicine form in UK it's
approved by NICE, on prescription.
Some studies (reputation uncertain) have reported benefits eg:

Others have been widely discredited. No trials have results which suggest adverse effect.
The BBC reported this:

I am not recommending consumption of animal level assurance medicine: people can consume more or less what they like: some people smoke: and that's been proven to be bad for you: uncertainly worse than consuming canine ivermectin tablets.
But this not 'anti-vaxx' (see thread title): it's an earnest search for medicine when we still have none, certainly outside hospital.
However groups with an anti-vaccination agenda seem also to suggest ivermectin is sufficient as a prophylactic, and the messaging often comes mixed in with conspiracy theories. Any support for 'anti-vaccination' is a bad thing.
You'll be poo-pooing the idea that it's a good idea to keep Vitamin D levels up next! UK levels of Vitamin D (derivative) in UK are particularly poor in those communities which seem to suffer the worst effects of COVID-19. No causative effect has been shown.
