[boorockomamba]

They get mad when you call them sheep,
but they don't mind using a drug for sheep.

[picklesickle]

These people are allowed to own guns? Scary

[zammmerjammer]

A virus is not a worm.
A person is not a cow.
-- American public health agencies in 2021

[bjornh]

People taking a drug for livestock must've misinterpreted "herd immunity".

[Pradeep-srsz]

At this point, I’m just letting natural selection play itself out

[LaTonyaHogue]

How is this not illegal? Going on air and telling people things that do them physical harm?

[aloft]

The same people that need to be told to not put plastic bags over their head.

Antivaxers: "Don't be a sheep!"
**Takes livestock medicine**

[celtjim]

She's so stunned by this she had nothing that she could say for about 30 seconds.

[richardowens]

So, let me get this straight - vaccines against COVID-19 are available, but people would STILL consider veterinary drugs as a treatment option, instead? Have I got that right? And, are these the SAME people who refuse to wear masks or get the vaccine?

He said " I love the poorly educated". This is becoming very pathetic.

[topherbarrow]

My wife's idiotic co-workers use that crap. People have lost their minds.

[jarrysciligo]

Who saw this coming? When fascism comes to America it will come carrying a herp wrapped in a derp.

"You're not a horse. You're not a cow."
"Hey, it works on sheep."

[falloutmentalist]

If people are willing to do stuff like this, they shouldn’t be admitted into hospitals; send them to the vets.

[michaelgrabianowski]

Let natural selection do what it does best. You can't fix stupid.

[ayanamiry]

When the FDA puts out a notice that says, "SERIOUSLY YA'LL, STOP IT", IM DONE! LMFAO🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Tupelo]

Let's see, the folks who call others "sheep" are taking livestock medications? Yep, that checks out.

Irony is dead.

[cinderbliss]

It's the same people who laughed at the desperate people of Afghanistan clinging to the C-17 find themselves with the same desperation to cure covid 🤷
