Makes a Change From Rubber Bullets?

Ivermectin is a veterinary drug used to deworm cattle. However, it has been advocated, in some circles, as a treatment for human Covid19 infections. There's quite a difference between a nematode worm and a virus. There is actually no acceptable evidence that Ivermectin benefits patients with Covid19 infections. Four inmates of Arkansas's Washington County Jail are currently suing the sheriff and doctor of that institution, for prescribing them the drug (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/jan/17/arkansas-inmates-lawsuit-covid-ivermectin). The inmates claim they were told that the Ivermectin tablets they were given, were 'vitamins; antibiotics (these could have no effect on a virus) and/or steroids'. The inmates claimed that the dangerously high Ivermectin doses (for humans) produced side-effects including diarrhoea, bloody stools and stomach cramps. Consequently, the inmates maintain they were 'unknowingly' being used as research guinea pigs. If any of this is true, it is totally reprehensible. This is certainly not how valid 'research' should be carried out!
