FDA Warns People Not to Use Horse De-Wormer Ivermectin to Treat COVID: A Closer Look

Late Night with Seth Meyers

Vaccines that prevent COVID don't make DeSantis any money, but Regeneron DOES. He's got a financial interest (through his wife's ownership) in the company that provides the EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE monoclonal antibody treatment, which people "need" once they REFUSE to prompt their own immune systems to produce the correct antibodies.

[Tadicuslegion]

If the people who call everyone else sheep could stop taking livestock medication, that'd be great.

[LJStability]

"Regeneron is the same thing as getting vaccinated". Yeah, if I put that answer on my board exams they probably evict me from the testing room.

Horse: I hope the humans don’t find out about the 2015 Nobel Prize…

[bjoardar]

Doctor: "Did you take horse de-wormer medication?"

Patient: "Neigh."

[davidpumpkinsjr.]

Not only should Fox News be held accountable for any human who dies from ODing on horse medicine, they should also be held accountable for any horses that die because they can't get their meds.

[elishmuel]

I just can't believe we now live in a world where a person like desantis, responsible for thousands of needless deaths can go on tv, lie and point the finger at the person doing the most to save us. Just crazy times.

[LostKing]

If the fda has to tell you not to take a livestock dewormer… you might need to rethink your whole human experience 😳

[homerj.simpson]

"We're the greatest country in the world!"
"I can't afford to see a doctor!"

Still doesn't compute. If universal healthcare is a form of "socialism" (which it isn't), then "socialism" is pretty damn great.

[McClintockNYC]

Hey Seth, just wanted to thank you. Through the shutdown I was in total isolation. One night I realized I was watching until the very end just to hear you say "We love you." That's meant a lot to me. I love you, too. I'm a smart, funny person, so maybe should have gone with smart and funny here, but the world needs love. Thank you!

[magispitt]

I've actually started to enjoy this show more without an audience - Seth has a more natural charisma and delivery with his co-workers

[Chipotleadvisory]

I feel like Brian Kilmeade’s office at Fox is baby proofed because he was constantly hurting himself on all the sharp corners.

[mutualbeard]

As an Australian I, once again, must to apologize to all my American friends for releasing Rupert Murdoch on the world. We already knew that when he left Australia to become a US citizen he was a total sphincter.

[brianstraight]

I think we're gone as a society. Even the society from "Idiocracy" is looking at us going, "You took horse pills? Idiot."

[robinbeers]

OK, That horse sneeze/snort was literally laugh out loud funny.

[batherrofmoistureaposto]

This did not age well.... someone should be responsible for spreading dangerous lies like this....

[JoeHuman]

Serious question.
At what point do we just call it a day trying to understand people who drink bleach, fill garbage bags with gasoline and use horse de-wormer?

[scootdaws]

The old three stooges joke. Curly: I'm going fishing. Larry: You got worms? Curly: Yeah, but I'm going anyway.

[charlleedodson]

I bet Heartguard is gonna have to put “not for human consumption” on their packaging. This is fucking stupid

[ToddPataky]

"Why isn't the federal government doing what I refuse to do in my state?" Gov. DeSantis
