1- they’re not buying the human pills, because those require a prescription and don’t actually work against Covid.
2- the tubes of medication they ARE buying are from veterinary stores, and the main purpose is indeed to deworm horses. There’s a horse on the package and everything.
3- the name stuck, because the people taking ivermectin to stop Covid were/are a bunch of antivax morons deserving of much more than merely scorn and ridicule for the number of deaths on their hands.
Yeah for treating different kinds of parasites not viruses
Then why call it a “horse dewormer”?

worms are parasites?
But it’s used on humans on a massive scale, calling it horse dewormer is misleading
Because it is used as a horse dewormer, it is a veterinary medicine used to kill parasites.
But we’re talking about humans, this narrative is weird and misleading
Not really. The whole thing started because people were buying it from farm supply stores where it was being sold for animal usage
