Didn't you read the OP link, at all? This is the first paragraph:
"The Mississippi State Department of Health issued an alert on Friday that the Mississippi Poison Control Center has received an increasing number of calls from people who have taken the drug known as
ivermectin -- and that at least 70% of such calls related to "ingestion of livestock or animal formulations of ivermectin purchased at livestock supply centers."
Did you click the link I posted from webmd? This is the second paragraph:
"The drug,
ivermectin, has been used widely used for decades. It was introduced as a veterinary drug in the 1970s. Doctors also prescribe it to treat head lice, scabies, and other infections caused by
parasites."
Therefore, I asked the question: Is Covid-19 a parasite? Not expecting to get an answer here... I went looking, and found this research paper:
"As we consider SARS-CoV-2 and the COVID-19 pandemic, it is essential that scientists, governments, the media, and the general population also come to grips with the everyday cost of parasitic diseases. Plasmodium (malaria), schistosomes, filarial worms, hookworms, Ascaris, whipworms, and other protozoan and metazoan parasites take a tremendous toll on local communities."

So... my next question: What is Plasmodium?
"The intra-erythrocytic development of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum depends on the uptake of a number of essential nutrients from the host cell and blood plasma."

Blood-plasma dollars, sprang to mind.
Along with this fascinating factoid:
"A number of countries don’t allow people who have just been vaccinated to give blood, as well as banning those in recovery from coronavirus. With others simply staying home as
new infections rise, doctors say donor pools have shrunk to alarmingly low levels, menacing urgent operations."
In COVID hangover, as more around world get vaccinated, fewer give blood
