Yes, so imagine the outcome if a community in deepest Africa getting a hold of information that imparts the opinion that the white man is giving them stuff meant only for cows and horses or is somehow unsafe... Also, if people are buying ivermectin from animal suppliers, treating people like they're stupid usually works really well to convince them to change their behaviour, doesn't it?

Honestly, there must be some freaking adolescents in charge of the FDAs social media.
You've mis-read, they're not. The FDA is warning people not to take livestock medication, not mocking anyone. Other people on social media are mocking those who are buying drugs from farm suppliers, then dying because they refuse to trust the doctors. There is a never-ending stream of social media posts following a very similar pattern, it goes roughly like this:

- posting memes about how vaccine mandates are bad and covid is a lefty hoax or only affects the elderly and infirm, but they are young and healthy so they can choose their own risks, or how if you have your vaccine why should you care if they have theirs or calling people who get vaccinated sheep who submit to government control, or that they would rather get covid than submit to government tyranny.

- explaining how they've got covid, but it's only minor and they'll be back out soon.

- pleading for prayers before they go on a ventilator.

- dead. Usually with a GoFundMe to cover funeral expenses or to help look after the children they've left behind. Sometimes they're in their 30s, sometimes 40s, they all assumed that it would be someone else that died.

People who get affected by covid, deserve treatment, help and sympathy. People who have spent months and months explaining how hospitals and doctors are all in it for the money, and mocking and undermining public health measures to prevent the spread of disease, loudly and publicly calling those people who take vaccines sheep and cowards, before pleading for prayers in a hospital bed then dying of a disease they refused to protect themself against, when it keeps happening over and over and over again...No sympathy. And I understand why people are mocking them. I feel bad for their children growing up without a parent, but maybe those children will learn that even if you think covid is a lefty hoax, covid is a virus that doesn't care about your political leanings.
