    Dude. If morons want to eat worm paste and drink bleach. Fucking let them.

    Like why the fuck do we need warnings on everything. Gas can says don’t drink. If your dumbass wants to drink gas, let me get you a cup.

      The problem is, we are losing our choice. The Kennedy/Tr*mp agenda is to replace modern medicine with bible bunkum. Soon, horse paste and bleach may be all we have access to.

    At this point, I am considering posting disinformation on conservative forums along the lines of “my cousin’s friend took an [ld50] dose of aspirin and her covid symptoms completely disappeared within 12 hours.”

    Sucks for the kids of these rtrds, but if adults remove themselves from the gene pool this way it’s hard to feel sorry for them.

    A relative of mine last week ended up in the hospital because for several months he was “treating” a foot wound (maybe a bad spider bite?) with ivermectin and oils. It never healed then he developed a really awful infection that spread over his whole foot up to his knee.

    16 states have proposed or passed legislation that would make ivermectin available over the counter. The intention is to make it much easier for people to get ivermectin and use it for any ailment they believe it can cure. Idaho, Arkansas, and Tennessee have passed laws to make ivermectin available over the counter. On Monday, Louisiana’s state legislature passed a bill to do the same, and it now awaits signing by the governor. The other states that have considered or are considering such bills include: Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Maine, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Hampshire, North Carolina, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and West Virginia.

      Who needs actual science or medicine, as long as they believe it will help them?

      Maine and Minnesota being on the list of ivermectin nutjob states is not great. Of all the M states, Missouri is off but those two are on?

        We have a split house and the maga idiots are introducing shit just as crazy like trying to make “Trump Derangement Syndrome” not just a thing, but make it illegal.

      I firmly believe that a bunch of dumb fucks took ivermectin three days into their COVID and started feeling better.

      Because that’s how recovery from an infection that peaks at three days works, especially if you also have untreated worms.

        I was remembering the article about Alabama, open raw sewage pits, and worms. A lot of red state residents can’t afford proper health care, let alone prescription medication. Depending on the price, this may be helpful for the not-insane parents and farmers.

        It spread because of one or two early studies with falsified data.

        Personally, I wish this stuff were more lethal with prolonged usage. I think two people have died, but maybe people would think twice about believing social media if the risk were greater. And if they didn’t, well, it’s probably good for the survival of the species.

          It quite literally becomes neurotoxic if used frequently/in high enough dosage. The idiots are poisoning their brains

          I have a friend whose mother took a LOT of it and permanently fucked up her heart and liver. Can’t walk more than 25 feet without getting winded. They have to periodically search her cabinets because she still believes that idiocy and tries to take it if she can find it.

            At what point does this behavior become mental illness? These people are in a death cult…
