Here are the “dangers” of taking ivermectin outlined in the article that you linked to.
“Do not swallow ivermectin lotion or cream that is meant for use on the skin.”
“Taking large doses or doses intended for animals is dangerous and can result in overdose, causing serious harm including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, low blood pressure, dizziness, balance problems, seizures, coma, and even death.
Ivermectin can cause birth defects if taken early in pregnancy.”
“Dosages intended for animals may contain ingredients that are not meant for people to consume, and how these ingredients can affect humans has not been studied.”
The same precautions could be said about just about any substance. Not eating lotions that are meant to be used on skin is something that people teach their kids. Taking large “doses” of anything even drinking too much water can kill you whether or not the water was intended to be fed to animals.
As far as ivermectin causing birth defects when taken early in pregnancy... I quote from The Lancet, a medical journal, “Ivermectin is one of the most broadly used drugs in global health. More than 3ยท7 billion treatments have been safely distributed in the context of Merck’s donation programme. Pregnant women are usually excluded from treatment but no formal evaluation of the safety in pregnancy has been done to date. Additionally, no systematic reviews or meta-analyses of ivermectin exposure in pregnant women have been published according to our provisional literature search of MEDLINE, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library.”
So, saying ivermectin can cause birth defects when taken early in pregnancy is much less scientifically correct than saying drinking too little water early in pregnancy can cause birth defects. This actually has been proven to cause birth defects.

The article you linked to was a good example of propaganda meant to discourage the use of ivermectin.
I took ivermectin when my wife and I came down with Covid that we caught from the fully vaccinated staff at the dentist’s office. (The dentist’s office actually had to be shut down for a month.) I was hoping for a miracle cure, but I didn’t get better any faster than my wife who didn’t take it. I took the version meant for horses at a dosage that was half the typical amount per pound that was prescribed for humans when taking the pill form. I was much more comfortable taking a substance that was meant for animals from a reputable source and manufactured by a reputable company than purchasing pills from abroad. I don’t like feeding my dog or cat treats or food from China or India.
It is very hard to sift through all of the anti-ivermectin propaganda that the government and Western major media sources used to discourage it’s use. I would guess that there is 20 times as much propaganda as reliable information that comes back on a standard Google search. But there are now current studies even from government sources that have concluded that ivermectin was and is an effective treatment against Covid.

“Ivermectin alone or in combination with other drugs appears to have beneficial effects on SARS-CoV-2 infection. In addition, ivermectin is known to inhibit the entry and replication of viral RNA into host cells through a variety of strategies/pathways. However, we hypothesize that ivermectin is capable of increasing the replication capacity of SARS-CoV-2 by enhancing autophagy. Although ivermectin has anti-inflammatory properties, it can induce pathological complications and inflammatory responses during COVID-19 treatment by increasing stimulation of the P2X7 receptor and its downstream signaling pathways. Furthermore, despite its role in altering metabolic processes, it may induce ROS and it may be one of the other side effects of ivermectin in the treatment of COVID-19. It appears that the combined treatment of ivermectin with other drugs may reduce side effects and demonstrate its therapeutic efficacy in the treatment of COVID-19.”
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ is the National Center of Biotechnology Information from the National Library of Medicine. I am surprised that they have been allowed to release information that directly contradicts the FDA, Dr. Fauci, and many other government sources. Obviously, there are still government employees and others who still care more about the truth than risking their livelihood.
I should probably have added that the conclusion that I quoted had quite a bit of hedging after the key sentence, “Ivermectin alone or in combination with other drugs appears to have beneficial effects on SARS-CoV-2 infection.” I quoted the entire statement to show that even when a clear-cut conclusion has been made by government sources... they are compelled to attach a bit of nonsense to give their masters something to hang on to.
That is called job security. There is now no doubt that ivermectin is helpful against Covid, but you can’t declare an emergency and compel people to take experimental vaccines and force people to jump through other hoops when effective treatments are available.
This little hit on Ivermectin/Hydroxn looks like something a 12 year old created it Not very convincing
