And please stop with your critical thinking bullshit like you're the resident expert on a BB message board. Nobody gives a shit.. MOO!

I didn’t claim to be the the resident expert of anything, but I will claim that you are the resident court jester. Now go back to your TV. It may be telling you how to think about something important.

I’d like to respond “unbelievable”, but nothing surprises me anymore. It just gets more and more unreal by the day. Simple things that would be highly effective like this are lost.

Holy shit! Is the CDC trying to kill refugees?!?!? Are they really just racists trying to kill anyone of color? Makes you wonder what's really going on..

From the CDC website:

Summary of Recommendations

This guidance is intended for the International Organization for Migration (IOM) physicians and other panel physicians who administer overseas predeparture presumptive treatment for intestinal parasites, but may also be referenced by U.S. medical providers caring for refugees who will be receiving presumptive treatment after they arrive in the United States.

While these recommendations have been implemented in many overseas sites, logistical and procurement issues still limit their full implementation in some. All Middle Eastern, Asian, North African, Latin American, and Caribbean refugees should receive presumptive therapy with:

* All Middle Eastern, Asian, North African, Latin American, and Caribbean refugees should receive presumptive therapy with:

- Albendazole, single dose of 400 mg (200 mg for children 12-23 months)
AND
- Ivermectin, two doses 200 mcg/Kg orally once a day for 2 days before departure to the United States.

* All African refugees who did not originate from or reside in countries where Loa loa infection is endemic (Box 1) should receive presumptive therapy with:

- Albendazole, single dose of 400 mg (200 mg for children 12-23 months)
AND
- Ivermectin, two doses 200 mcg/Kg orally once a day for 2 days
AND
- Praziquantel, 40 mg/kg, which may be divided in two doses before refugees depart for the United States.

I’m not sure if this is a genuine question, or if it’s meant to be sarcastic, or something else.

That being said the ivermectin in example above is standard protocol for regions that have endemic scabies or other parasites. It is used to prevent transmission or other than desirable outcome For a large group of people with a scabies or a other infestation. We did this regularly on humanitarian mission while I was in the military.

Oh it's pure sarcasm directed at all the people who said ivermectin was too dangerous for humans, and was only meant for cows and horses....
