Article is fine, the commentary encouraging people to kill themselves is not. Removed. Edit that part out and we can restore it.
Edit Aaaand restored!
Same reason they’re still hung up on Hunter Biden and Hillary Clinton: the nazi grifters keep recycling the same material.
If anything, they’re going further and further back, reviving fringe conspiracies, so that it seems like the plot to oppress them has continuity throughout history, even since ancient times. (Of course, the problem with that is having to skirt around the OG nazis, who did the same thing with essentially the same conspiracies.)
Because they’re fucking stupid. Let them shovel it in their faces and improve the gene pool. who the fuck cares?
Let them eat that stuff by the spoonful. You cannot convince them otherwise, anyway. If they survive, good for them, if not, they just claim it was gods will.
My mother, born and raised in Norway, fucking believes this shit about Ivermectin. Line… Why???
My mother passed away last summer. While cleaning out her house we found a half used bottle of ivermectin injectable solution. Like I’m pretty sure my mother bought vet supplies and was injecting herself.
They’ve forgotten all the things they chanted to us aa kids; “don’t believe everything you read online.”
Especially if she can sort of read English but isn’t too proficient, I’ve noticed that type goes harder for all the shit.
And like someone pointed out, there’s a pretty well established pipeline from woowoo spirituality into right wing garbage.
I’ve heard that this mess started because Ivermectin was tested in the developing world as a treatment for Covid, and that some of those who took it reported “feeling better.”
Except in those parts of the world, many many people have untreated, festering parasite infestations like hookworm and many others. So yeah, when they take an antiparasitic compound, they start “feeling better,” whether they have Covid or not.
I would like to point out that I absolutely believe people on their 4th day of COVID might take an anti-parasitical and start feeling better than they have in years.
One, they naturally got over covid.
Two, their rural ass did in fact have some worms.
Well the right wing is pretty wormy so
Maybe that’s what killed RFK Jr’s brain worm.
It probably starved to death
Depends on the timeline, but coincidentally, yes it could have. He’s out there eating festering roadkill and carving the heads off of bloated whales, he realistically probably did have parasites, and ivermectin should be routine for him. Not for COVID, of course.
Actually I heard that physiologically improbable levels of the drug inhibited viral replication in cell culture. It is a common phenomenon that many things apparently inhibit pathogens in culture but are ineffective or harmful in an intact organism. Often this is because physiologically impossible concentrations are used in cell cultures. Often in concentrations that interfere with biology and metabolism of the cells in culture to the extent that viruses can’t replicate in the cells rendered moribund by the high concentrations of the substance being tested.

It brings to mind this XKCD.
Like injecting bleach…
also the right is taking horse and cattle paste, which is much higher doses, and is dangerous for people. also only useful for intestinal parasites, the ones that enter other organs need other anti-parasitic drugs. in low doses, medically it is also used for rosacea and perioral dermatitis topically.
I would love some more information on this to counter my antivax family.
I’m fine with the "let them destroy themselves“ angle but they’re also in power. Lawsuits are currently in motion that would revoke FDA approval for common vaccines. Revocation means nobody (except the rich) gets them.
Cool; I’ll find a way to emigrate to Canada or the EU or something. I’m a skilled software engineer with specialization in devops, automation, data pipelines, and test framework design. I will leave and take my skills with me, as a refugee if I must. And I know for damn sure a lot of people I know with similar levels of skill who will do the same.
Congrats
My point is that I’m going to be part of the brain drain if we continue on this trajectory.
They simply don’t die fast enough from their medical idiocy to suit me.
It’s because they’re the kind of stupid that follows in-group beliefs more than verifiable reality. We’re all susceptible to overly weighing what our in-group says, but some people take it to dangerous levels.
And also there are grifters taking advantage of them.
I’m happy my in-group has an actual doctor. I love being able to ask her random questions and verifying things I’ve heard.
My formerly happy in-group had a former army medic and current RN that fully supported all the crazy Republican COVID bullshit, while actively seeing those “treatments” do absolutely nothing at her job every fucking day.
Not all doctors and nurses are smart just because they graduated. Like with any job that requires a lot of memorization, some people memorize well but can’t actually problem solve in the real world beyond it. You’d think a former Army Medic and Trauma RN wouldn’t fall for that shit, yet there she is to this day still.
Obligatory old joke:
Q: What do you call the student who graduated last in their class at med school?
A: “doctor”
My experience is that nurses are not particularly intelligent or even that well-educated. Which isn’t to say that they are less intelligent or less educated than the average person–moreso that they are very much the average person.
Doctors are very hit or miss.
from what ive gathered, nurses in many areas have a huge shortage, so they waive some certain programs for them to get an RN license asap. so many fall through the cracks, especially in rural and red areas. i think more blue areas have more stringent rules. also the smart ones are doing travelling nursing anyways.
Doctors, is probably harder to tell, probably dont want a passing grade average doctor, over one that top grades and successful clinical experience, or research(if they done that). additionally ones from elitist colleges, like harvard, stanford, yale? etc, produce elitist doctors, and many of them have that attitude, i have heard some employers wont hire some of these graduates either. i remember an article where someone complained about a yale.harvard doctor on yelp about his shady pratices, and he decided to sue the reviewer. some doctors are extremely jaded to thier patients, they ignore thier concerns.
Why the long face?
Because they’re incredibly ignorant
Because…
a) wellness conmen don’t stop the con
b) cognitive dissonance for people embedded into conservative social and media bubbles
c) MAGA politicians never admit that they intentionally or unintentionally gave people bad advice.
it is not a help to anyone to have more disable maga. there are plenty already.
What…?
They are dying and getting debilitating health issues from this shit, and honestly, I think that’s in the interest of the greater good.
