COVID-19 (f/k/a "the Coronavirus")

Ivermectin = snake oil.    Keep peddling that snake oil, keep pimping for the virus.     


Now, maybe, at some point, there will be a peer reviewed study that says ivermectin does all that.    That study does not yet exist.

Because it's being suppressed by big pharma

And Facebook and YouTube. Don't believe your lying eyes.

so dr smith, how many peer reviewed articles have you read?  i don't know what you do or studied to make you the smartest guy in the room, but you ever hear of the "lancet"?  one of the most respected medical journals in the world...well was, may be a more accurate term.  just because something is "peer reviewed" still doesn't make it the "gold standard"  but you knew that of course. 

ivermectin is an excellent example of what is/has been "peer reviewed" and what hasn't.  youtube and facebook censors any mention of ivormectin and covid.  ivormectin has been around a LONG time, is about $3/dose.  find any "peer reviewed" studies on that?

I'm impressed that your friends around here don't tell you to stop making an ass of yourself.  Even privately.

This is what happens when medically illiterate morons/politically blinded people like rocketbrain promote invermectin.

Person Hospitalized After Taking Livestock Ivermectin From Feed Store To Treat COVID-19
https://www.mississippifreepress.org/15002/person-hospitalized-after-taking-livestock-ivermectin-from-feed-store-to-treat-covid-19/

"At least one individual has been hospitalized in Mississippi after ingesting a drug intended for treating worms in livestock, the Mississippi State Department of Health revealed today. The medicine, ivermectin, is not approved for treating COVID-19.

“There are potential toxicities. So it’s something, you know, as you know, I think some people are trying to use it as a preventative, which I think is really kind of crazy. So please don’t do that,” Mississippi State Health Officer Dr. Thomas Dobbs said during a discussion on Zoom today.

“You know, for the life of me, I don’t get it. Dr. Dobbs, you have a vaccine that’s safe and effective. And yet people, as opposed to getting the vaccine, want to go after these kinds of things,” MSDH Communications Director Liz Sharlot said during today’s Zoom discussion."

Yep ... should just stick with demon seed.

But it's only $3/dose! Or so I have been told. Of course, bleach is only about $0.10/dose.

Come on! He was being sarcastic!

While he calmly looked right at Dr. Birx and went on and on while asking her to look into the science of injecting humans with disinfectant.

C'mon man.  I know it's funny, but you're just poking bears with crap like this.

Took my dogs to the vet today for their annual shots and picked up their heart worm prevention pills...which I noticed are invermectin based.

Looks like I am going to be COVID-free for the next six months! (Sorry, doggies, you're just going to have to chance it).

Is that how this works?

Depends. Did he actively minimize the severity of COVID, minimize necessity of precautions (masking, quarantine, distancing, etc.), or withhold aid from those who are suffering the most from the pandemic? If the answer is "yes" then you are doing it correct. If "no"....... well you know what that means.

If he got it that means he wasn’t taking the necessary precautions so despite what he said his actions were obviously different.

I don’t make the rules, sorry.

[naginiF]

I don’t make the rules, sorry.

Specifically what actions of his were obviously different? If he was hypocritical, yes he very much is to blame for his actions.
If you don't know that he was hypocritical in his actions and you are just trying to play the "gotcha" game just say "I'm pointing out that people who try to do all the right things can also get COVID and I'm trying to equate that to people who use their positions of authority to directly undermine public health"

[tower912]

Those are called breakthrough cases.   And another reminder that this isn't remotely over.

There’s been quite a few instances of politicians saying one thing and getting caught doing the exact opposite.  I have no idea the details of Hickenlooper’s case but I’ll give him the same benefit of the doubt this board gives other elected officials.

Cool. So.....

"I'm pointing out that people who try to do all the right things can also get COVID and I'm trying to equate that to people who use their positions of authority to directly undermine public health"

As I've said, if he's used his position to undermine public health or been a hypocrite in his actions then 'thoughts and prayers' away. If he hasn't, your political projecting should be apparent to even you.

Do you know what his actions have been?   I assume he was not wearing a mask in close proximity or someone, which I imagine is hypocritical to what he suggests his constituents do.

You should probably take a break.

[pacearrow02]

You should probably take a break.

How else would he have gotten it?  Or are you saying masks don’t work?

You're going to try to turn this in to an absolutist argument?  Now?  lol.

I'm not excusing or claiming to know his behavior, but you do realize that saying 'thoughts and prayers' like many others have been doing around here towards this guy is objectively different from saying it to someone like Andre Jacque... don't you?

I mean, it's fundamental to the understanding of schadenfreude.

He's just doing what he's spent the entire pandemic doing. There hasn't been a single post made in good faith from him at any point. Why would we think he would do so now?
