FDA Approves 'Horse Drug' in Fight Against COVID
As in a U.S. Food and Drug Administration tweet about a month ago about the dangers of taking ivermectin to treat COVID-19 since, among other things, ivermectin is used to treat animals.
“You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y’all. Stop it,” the FDA tweeted.

But a few weeks before that nasty tweet, the agency put out a news release suggesting the use of dexamethasone sodium phosphate to treat COVID.
Dexamethasone, the FDA said, is normally to be used against arthritis, blood disorders, breathing problems and much more. What the agency did not say in its news release is that dexamethasone is also used to treat horses for musculoskeletal inflammation issues.
Did y’all read that? The FDA says it’s OK to use horse medicine to treat COVID. My, my.
It was approved because dexamethasone has multiple uses for humans and for horses.
Ivermectin does, too.
However, in the continuous drumbeat to vaccinate, vaccinate, vaccinate, health policymakers seem to be closing their eyes, plugging their ears and chanting “NO-NO-NO” [to any other treatments for] COVID.
