Telling people the most widely human-used anti-parasitic on the planet is "horse medicine" to keep them from considering it *isn't* dangerous misinformation? The reason that lie was spread is because you can not EUA a drug in the US if there is any valid alternative treatment that *has* been properly tested.
No, telling people medicine formulated for 1500-2000lb livestock animals that's sold at feed/farm stores "horse paste" is not misinforming them.
I literally stood in my uncle's feed store and listened to customers tell my aunt they were buying it for themselves before "the gubbmint" stopped them, and some of them had traveled quite a distance because they were slow to take it off their shelves. They honestly thought people were just joking about the whole situation. My cousin actually got arrested for knocking a guy out because he was screaming in my aunt's face and trying to intimidate her into selling him appled flavored horse wormer.
