Vaccine skeptics are taking horse-strength dewormer to treat Covid, accidentally poisoning themselves

Anti-vaxxers are now pursuing ivermectin for equine, also known as “horse paste,” an anti-parasitic medication that protects horses and livestock from worms and other parasites. Ivermectin is occasionally prescribed to humans to treat parasites (in its human-dose form) and studies are investigating its effects on treating and preventing coronavirus, though none have been conclusive.

Still, some medical groups continue to push it, including America’s Frontline Doctors, of which Dr. Stella Emmanuel, the Trump-approved conspiracy theorist who said women are impregnated by “demon sperm” in their sleep and alien DNA is used in medicine, is a member.

There is ongoing research with a tapeworm medication that may hold some promise.

It's amazing how they consider extensively tested vaccines dangerous, but are just fine with untested use of animal medication. One might say they're being irrational. Or crazy.

Like, duh, right? This is a fucking no brainer and we punted on first down.

What I don't understand is why the unvaccinated who get COVID are going to hospital - they don't trust doctors, they don't trust nurses, they don't trust modern pharmacology, so why go where all the things you mistrust are concentrated?

Maybe you should just erect big pavilions in fields and pastures for these people to go to. Once there, they could be looked after by people with no medical training, but have done Google searches on 'how to care for people with infections respiratory diseases' and skipped the first 1000 results.

Cherry picking.

We live in an age where it has been sold to people that they are able/should decide for themselves what is true and what not, instead of trusting methods that experts do apply and the experience of those experts in applying them. Of course those experts are wrong sometimes, duh.
It makes people more comfortable being able to make these decisions instead of having to rely on others, but being more comfortable doesnt make you right.

Yup, one last visit to "Brother Love's Salvation Show" tent revival meeting.

If Florida, Texas and Louisiana were other countries we'd restrict their access and travel to the rest of the country.
