It's like these people got trolled by 4chan and believed every single word they said.
This should not be legal.
I am always disheartened when I see his podcast is always at the top of the charts, even left leaning reasonable friends i know listen to it
When numbnuts have no power in society, it's often dismissed as a fool's errand to try to counter their crazy claims. But I think we all need to be countering the crazy at all times, not just when the biggest crazies are enjoying power and reach. Otherwise, we get Joe Rogan and Mel Gibson talking about curing terminal cancer with animal dewormer and Donald Trump winning a second term and appointing RFK Jr. to delete vaccines from history.
Horse/barn door situation, but still. It can always get worse.
It doesn't do people's argument credit when they call ivermectin a horse dewormer. Yes, it can be used for that but it's a broad spectrum drug used for lots of things in humans and animals. Does it do what the alt right says? Probably not. But you look almost as dumb as they do when you call a WHO essential medicine horse dewormer.
Just FYI, ivermectin is also a human dewormer, ir is very used in poor countries like here, Brazil
Well the blue color actually proved valuable in spinal reconstruction. (AFAIK)
Huh. Apparently it's been found seemingly helpful with pain management, trauma reduction, disinfection, cleaning, and tumor detection when used as a dye. I wasn't thorough so I didn't find anything about spinal reconstruction specifically but its use is probably related in one of these ways in some procedures. So TIL.
Still not a cancer-killer. Sorry, Mel!
Sorry, Mel!
I'm not sorry about anything that happens to that bigoted fucker.
It's also used as a topical antibacterial agent in wound care (source: am wound care nurse), but ya, not cancer.
I can believe that, but thinking a thing that's helpful in spinal surgery then taking it when you have the cancer is... it's pretty fucking dumb. Like... penicillin has saved my life about 5 different times because I have had chronic pneumonia, but I'm not about to down it if my leg breaks. These aren't similar issues.
I wish I knew how to get these motherfuckers to care about anything as much as they care about ivermectin.
