Hantavirus is very deadly. Do not fuck around with it
I encourage all conservatives to fuck around with hantavirus
I encourage them to have hantavirus parties AFTER they have had some ivermectin.
I don’t, because a virus doesn’t care about your ideology when it spreads. So sure it’ll kill lots of misinformed poor conservative folks and just as many or more folks who are informed but don’t have a choice because they’re surrounded by people who choose to get sick
And the very wealthy are the ones who have installed HEPA filters in their private schools and rigorous testing at events like Davos. All the ones who aren’t Steve Jobs-ing themselves with quack ideology will be fine.
Lalalalala. Doesn’t exist. Fake news. It’s Biden fault. Drink bleach and sun your butthole.
So she thinks (I know, I know) that getting “natural immunity” to COVID protects her from hantavirus? The ivermectin is just the icing on the cake, honestly.
It’s what happens when practicing medical physicians forget they are not really researchers. The main problem is that medical schools do teach research, but just enough to give people a false confidence in their own abilities. Medicine covers so much information that medical school is basically just a series of introduction courses. Like with most positions as a physician, your real knowledge comes from what you actually practice during your residency and specialty training.
I specialize in orthopedics and rehabilitation, I can understand the mechanisms and physiology involved in studies done over rna virus replication, but I wouldn’t feel confident in my ability to draw conclusions from those studies that are not explicitly stated in the study itself.
From my understanding invermectin has show itself to have some promising potential for moderating rna viruses from replicating. However, it’s not very water soluble and so there are currently no effective means to actually get the medication to the affected cells. Which is why none of the studies done on cell cultures in a laboratory can’t be extrapolated upon and applied to people.
Even if you are taking 100x the recommended dose, it’s mainly just going to travel through your digestive tract and cause more harm than good.
Ew, dewormer frosting
I love when science memes is just US politics.
I don’t. Lots of people are gonna die or get disabled because of these idiots.
Whoosh.
Just Americans though hopefully
You realize that’s still bad, right?
Now that is a matter of opinion.
I guess fuck the 60% of us who didn’t agree to this shit then. Guess we can just keel over and die
Hahaha! You think we have all the idiots! HAHAHA! MOTHERFUCKER WE EXPORT THAT SHIT!!!
They grow natively everywhere. The internet speads fertilizer.
I’m not sure this is a thought profound enough to count as politics. I’d classify it as nothing more than aerating the mouth, since there clearly was no thought process behind it
These people have blue check marks so they know what they are talking about
There is no doubt there are redcoats still sitting on warehouses full of this stuff, who couldn’t get rid of it “way back then”. These snake oil salesmen and purveyors of lucky charms expected to make millions from selling shit that doesn’t work. Not for viral control anyway.
And so by voice of king god donnie (kgd), it’s time to bring it back and MANDATE it (quick before it’s all out of date).
I wonder how many square feet of the “Big I” Mr. Wormbrain has left to get rid of. Or does he use it to actually deworm?
So much for her half-assed redemption arc.
Oh yeah, she’s just as bad as she ever was, it’s just that she finally admitted Trump was a whack job, probably because she thinks she can get MAGA to follow her instead.
And when they start dropping like flies, there’s no evidence it’s the virus. It could be the (((woke globalist elite)))’s 5G space lasers, or perhaps God punishing us for not stoning sexual deviants to death or something.
Even with the best medical care, Hantavirus has a 20% fatality rate.
Let’s just hope that conservatives continue being so anti-vaccine… a few more pandemics with human-transmissible highly-fatal viruses and maybe we can get that socialist utopia that the right always cock-blocks us from achieving.
This doctor was previously suspended for vaccine misinformation and now has a complaint against her by the texas medical board for numerous violations of professional conduct, including prescribing medication without ever meeting or examining a patient.
She filed a defamation lawsuit against the hospital which she lost. Ouch. Best of luck to her in keeping her certification, and in finding a new job! She should become trumps personal dr.
Why is ivermectin always the cure to every disease? My grandmother has tumors and my mom mentioned getting her ivermectin. Wtf am I missing here?
Someone told them NO. You cant do that.
That made them feel mad and feel stupid.
Then someone told them that they were right and that someone else was actually the stupid one.
Then they felt better.
Better than better, they now have the secret knowledge and everyone else are the stupid ones.
This is the formula for modern society (esp. social media).
That makes sense the impact of social media. No one stands out or gets attention for talking about the mass of boring peer reviewed scientific consensus. But wild crackpot jerk off theories people often stand alone and get much larger share of attention. And attention in now quantified by likes and views and is the currency of social media. So if social media success is your aim, make something up - the wilder the better!
Religion too.
Yeah, I pretty much mean it is the formula for human cognition.
My dog takes an ivermectin based heartworm preventative every month
My dog has never gotten covid or hantavirus
Need I say any more?
There is no logic, only horse medicine.
Healthy as a horse and all, right?
Morons
Big Horse Pharma has their tendrils in more places than you would expect
Honestly, my suspicion is that you can easily get the stuff. I’ve gotten it for my dog once or twice (it’s a lot cheaper than dog dewormer, despite basically being the same thing), and all you have to do is go into a Tractor supply or the like and it’s right on the shelf, no restrictions or anything. This is in contrast to actual medicine, where I have to go to a CVS or the like to pay an overpriced amount for something that is more regulated, and might even be a bit of a placebo effect in the first place (look at flu meds for an example of that).
All of this mostly seems to speak more to the degrading of the American healthcare system due to costs ballooning beyond what some of the poorer in society can afford, so they are more willing to try folk remedies that may or may not work. And in the case of your grandmother, is she gonna risk paying a lot of her life savings to cure her tumors if they aren’t benign (without a guarantee that it will work), or is she just gonna hope that the $10 treatment might make her feel better? If they’re benign, then the $10 treatment “worked”, and if they’re not, then she’ll get expensive treatment anyway, just probably be in a worse position to get it.
Also people take it and feel better, not realizing they might’ve also just had worms.
I deworm my dog every few years. Yet I’ve never dewormed my self. To the pharmacy!
True, which surprisingly in a first world country actually can be an issue. A lot of the people that I see recommending stuff like ivermectin for human use mostly kinda remind me of my great grandmother, who grew up during the depression, when you just had to make due with stuff that probably wasn’t the best, but so long as it somewhat worked, they’d use it (even if it absolutely boiled down to placebo effect). The common thread in my mind is basically just that in both cases, they and their families were broke and healthcare wasn’t necessarily an option (unless the problem was immediate and completely necessary, like a broken arm or profuse bleeding that was going to require a ton of stitches).
I did some limited research on this and there are a few studies that suggest ivermectin could disrupt tumors from forming. But certainly not enough evidence to suggest using it for that purpose given the risk of adverse effects.
- Ivermectin is a legitimate miracle antiparasitic
- Early in the pandemic, some researchers showed you can neutralize COVID in vitro with ivermectin. The dose is more than enough to kill a human.
- Trump announced he was taking hydroxychloroquine (antimalarial/antiparasitic) to prevent COVID infection during the pandemic
- A group of crank doctors saw an angle and at a Senate hearing announced ivermectin as a wonder drug that prevents COVID infection entirely
- Right-wing influencers like Joe Rogan took the ball and ran with it, infusing further anti-vaccine ideas into the movement
- The sleeper class, who don’t pay attention to medical news and get most of their understanding of the world from the influencers they follow, submersed in America’s simmering broth of reactionary beliefs and distrust of authority, pick up the news that ivermectin prevents COVID during the Delta spike, when fears soared.
- To a certain class of people, having their beliefs questioned is inherently hostile. Everyone telling them to not take ivermectin only makes them more stubborn about it. Ivermectin is also really easy to get a hold of because it’s a common veterinary drug and pretty easy to find if you’re rural.
- Those people infect their social networks further with ivermectin bullshit, because people will trust their friends more than they trust authority.
And so, five years after we conclusively know ivermectin doesn’t help with anything but parasites, you still find people who believe in its global efficacy, which has become greater and greater over time in reaction to more and more proof against it. Because the believers are stubborn reactionaries.
The problem is that there are a bunch of studies that have proven that ivermectin can prohibit rna viruses from replicating in cell cultures to an impressive degree. The main problem is that ivermectin isn’t very water soluble, and thus there is no way to deliver the drug to the targeted cells.
It’s what happens when you develop assumptions based on a study when you don’t really understand the relevant field of the study. It also makes it hard to disprove to people who have read studies that in their mind allude to it as an effective treatment.
Is ivermectin an effective way to controll the replication of rna viruses in a laboratory setting? Yes, amazingly so. Does that mean we can extrapolate upon that claim and assume it would be effective to treat humans? Absolutely not.
I imagine in the next 5-10 years ivermectine will be used as a treatment for rna viruses. However, that will require someone to find a way to turn it into an inhaled medication or some kind of nanosized medication that can be given intravenously.
Don’t forget the number of people who take ivermectin in response to getting sick and immediately start seeing an improvement of symptoms… Because they’ve been full of parasites for years or decades leading up to that point and getting rid of them improves their health, completely independent of the virus they caught. Then they associate ivermectin with feeling better so it had to be interacting with the disease they took it in response to.
It’s honestly a pretty astounding medication that’s been proven to prevent rna viruses from replicating in cells, and has some pretty cool anti-inflammatory properties. The main problem is that it isn’t very water soluble and thus has horrible bioavailability. Basically, it would be as miraculous as people claim it to be if we can find a way to effectively deliver it to the treatment site.
Right now if you take it it primarily just runs through your digestive tract because it can’t be absorbed into your blood stream. Which is why it’s currently only useful as a dewormer medication.
You are missing they all have stakes in Ivermectin production somehow.
Is it a big commodity or something?
In the horse worm community? Hell yeah
I bet the horse worms aren’t stoked about it
It’s just one of the tenets of belief from the orange man conspiracy cult. They joined that cult and chose their special secret conspiracy “facts” to believe in.
I mean it cures worms in horses, so it must be omnipotent
my coworker told me he started taking it and shat out a bunch of worms. then he tried to convince me that i was full of worms.
Uh… Did he lose a lot of appetite and health improve after deworming himself?
Do conservatives keep banging on about ivermectin because they had an unusually high proportion of parasitic worm infected people?no but he did just get diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis and congestive heart failure…healthy as a horse otherwise lmao
Ah, yes, congestive horse failure. 🫠
Now I wonder if rfk promotes the stuff
YES! Use your horsepaste! This one has a MUCH MUCH higher lethality.
Colloquial silver works wonders when taken in high doses
Spoiler: it’ll turn your skin blue. These idiots should be labeled like smufs
People that blue themselves pretty much did it on purpose. Afaik it’s not permanent.
Afaik it’s not permanent.
jonathan frakes telling you you’re wrong for 47 seconds
Argyria worsens and builds up as exposure to silver continues, and does not resolve once exposure stops because the silver atoms cannot be removed from the skin and other tissues.
colloidal?
In the streets we call it colloquial silver.
