Ivermectin blamed for death of Colorado woman; experts renew warnings about misuse of drug...

More "finding out" after "doing her own research" ...

https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/colorado/news/ivermectin-death-warnings-misuse-drug-colorado/

The Douglas County coroner is reporting a 74-year-old Colorado woman died of "ivermectin toxicity" in August, CBS News Colorado has learned. It's the second such death in the state, and it's triggering renewed cautions about the different forms of ivermectin.

"It's safe when used as prescribed," said Dr. Shireen Banerji, the director of the Rocky Mountain Poison Center.

"It's not safe when you are using veterinary medicine not prescribed for you -- it's not the right formulation," said Banerji.

Our shih-tzu tolerates it well and whatever risks of side-effect there may be, I believe they are infinitely less than the risk of heartworms.

It is stochastic, but murder nonetheless. They knowingly manipulate people to kill themselves and each other.

This aptly illustrating that a degree from Youube Univeristy and a few doctorates from "this really cool podcast!" are worth exactly what we pay for them.
