  I was thinking whatever those horse tranqs were back during COVID days.

    Elon took all the horse tranqs (ketamine).

    The horse paste majic covid cure (trust me bro, my brainworm never lies), was Ivermectin.

        … somewhat ironically, it is at least barely, slightly plausible that ivermectin could have taken out the brain worm…

        it is an actual anti-parasitic, but uh… its only been tested and approved as an anti-parasitic for humans via oral ingestion…

        … but it is intravenously administered to cows and pigs as an anti-parasitic.

        So… IV ivermectin in a human could potentially work, but … good luck figuring out the right dosage, and hopefully human bio chemistry and blood brain barrier just function identically as within pigs and cows.

        I am not a medical expert, but I suspect that latter part just maybe might not be a great assumption.

        Nobel prize-winning anti-parasitic for humans, yes.

        Several studies show no statistically significant effect on COVID-19 length or severity.
