i mean, other than combating the horse past meme, this nobel prize factoid people are throwing out there is pretty meaningless. they didn't win a nobel prize for ivermectin being treatment against viral respiratory infections.

it's completely fair to point out that it's not just horse paste, but when you have people literally risking their lives and others by either pushing an unproven treatment, or going to pet stores and ingesting it into their bodies, it's kinda weird to reserve the word idiot for the people who are talking about it in a callous way vs what's actually dangerous, and potentially fatal.
