Except he's not wrong. People are going to farm stores and buying Ivermectin and dosing themselves. Yes, it can be used on humans for specific things, no it is not a treatment for COVID.

I am currently working on a project (web design) for a company that sells Ivermectin. Imagine my (lack of) surprise to see it recently populated in our most popular products page lmao. Not "human prescribed" Ivermectin, mind you. The actual horse paste.

The presenter flat out lied. I really don't see how as Americans you can't hold up your senior public officials to higher standard of truthfulness, and be surprised when it goes down the toilet. Your country has become a blatant kleptocracy and you come to reddit to talk shit in defence of your corrupt officials.
I guess if the presenter said "People are imbibing a drink known as H20 which is used to hydrate cows and horses, the Surgeon General would reply that "let me say that H20 is not recommended for hydrating humans, but humans should get their approved version from the tap or the supermarket"
Ivermectin is a treatment for Covid. The fact that it is not FDA approved for Covid doesn't mean it is not a treatment for Covid. The doctors who use it are the ones who judge that, and the FDA cannot dictate to them.
It is just like saying that aspirin is not a blood thinner because it is a pain killer.

It is not an OFFICIAL treatment for Covid, but it's effects are absolutely undeniable. It does work at beating COVID, even if the side effects are extremely dangerous.
