The Ivermectin COVID-19 treatment controversy exploded in 2021 as a flashpoint in the global pandemic culture war. The drug, which has both human and veterinary applications, became the subject of intense online debate after being promoted as an alternative COVID-19 therapy. The meme cycle reached its peak when the FDA issued a viral warning stating, 'You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y'all. Stop it.' This prompted a flood of memes contrasting 'horse dewormer' jokes against claims of media suppression. The template remains a popular way to satirize medical skepticism, government messaging, and the surreal nature of internet-driven health trends.
