The CDC has sent a health advisory warning doctors and the public about the 'rapid increase' in prescriptions for the anti-parasitic drug ivermectin. It also cautions about an increase in reports of severe illness caused by the drug to poison centers.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention sent a health advisory Thursday warning doctors and the public about the"rapid increase" in prescriptions for the anti-parasitic drug ivermectin.
The CDC also cautions about an increase in reports of severe illness caused by the drug to poison centers.What the ivermectin debacle reveals about the hypocrisy of the anti-vaxxer crowdIvermectin is used to treat parasites such as worms and lice in humans and it is also used by veterinarians to de-worm large animals. For months, conservative media -- including Fox News hosts Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, and Laura Ingraham -- have talked about how it could be used to treat Covid-19.
The CDC advisory reminded the public that vaccination rather than treatment"is the safest and most effective way to prevent getting sick and protect against severe disease and death" from Covid-19.
