Why Bill Maher makes me want to pull out my hair sometimes

 Bill Maher is great, I enjoy watching his show. But on a recent episode he complained about Ivermectin. We should at least study it, study everything he claimed. Yes it is true we need to throw everything including the kitchen sink at Covid but right now we have treatments that work and people are not using them. Of course yes study everything and let's see what works best. However what he didn't explain or understand is that there are two forms of Ivermectin. There is a pill meant for people and it is a legitimate medicine for certain conditions so yes study it for Covid. But a lot of people, primarily in the South, are going to the local animal feed store and buying Ivermectin in tubes that are meant for use in horses. They are poisoning themselves because they hear about the drug on Fox "news" channel (not a real news network, only for entertainment purposes). We just need to be clear and careful when we encourage people to experiment on their own.
