      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.

        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.

          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.

        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.
