Are you guys simply unaware that it's a heavily used medication for humans or are you all just being hyperbolic?

as an antiparasitic

Yes, but not specifically for horses. If the Left are going to claim the high ground on facts they should stick to them.

If part of what you're saying is a lie it allows people to dismiss your whole statement.

overconfidence is a parasite.

I'm not saying it's right, just that that's how people are. If the goal is genuinely to engage people and bring them over to your side there are better ways to go about that than mockery and half truths.

This is what I found.

It sounds like something warrants further investigation.

I'm not suggesting it doesn't warrant further investigation, and am certainly open to the idea that it might in fact be helpful. I think what the left is more upset about is that there's a subgroup of people who refuse to get vaxxed and/or wear masks, yet are eager to take an antiparasitic horse med because of who's telling them to take it.

They're skeptical of science backed by a large body of peer-reviewed data because the left believes in it, but are supportive of fringe science because the left doesn't buy it. Or something like that?

Honestly, it's a pretty dumb position to take, regardless of the ultimate efficacy of Heartguard For Horses.

The left's moral high ground stands!
