The Daily Show Promotes a New Horse Medicine to Anti-Vaxxers, 'HorseyVax'

The Daily Show is still on hiatus, but that hasn't prevented its writers from taking aim at anti-vaxxers' new obsession with ivermectin, a horse dewormer that's been touted in right-wing circles as an effective treatment for COVID-19 (no evidence for this has been found). In a digital exclusive, correspondent Michael Kosta trolled "red-blooded, Hannity-watching, unvaccinated Americans" by offering "an even more effective horse medicine" called "HorseyVax." It's definitely not just the Pfizer vaccine with a photo of a horse on the box. Definitely not.

The Daily Show with Trevor Noah returns from summer break on September 13.
