"feel better about Biden's speeches"? Is that a serious comment? How can you stay this high and fly an airplane? I guess if that makes you feel better about your vote than go ahead and keep telling yourself that Biden has a fully functioning brain and not impacted at all by dementia. As far as Trump saying something stupid, he certainly did do that a lot but he actually did press conferences and campaigned and did interviews with people who absolutely hated him. Biden doesn't do ANY of that. The media protects him during his campaign and still to this day as much as they can anyway. After Afghanistan, they had no choice but to report on what a disaster it was. Sad that you use that example to prop up this cheating, brain dead, reprobate we unfortunately have to call President.

I'll just agree to disagree. Given two horrific options, I chose demented and well-intentioned over criminal. Everyone who voted chose a poor path for this country. By the way, are those tax returns still under audit?

Well intentioned??? I guess we do disagree. It seems there are 2 categories of ACTUAL Biden voters. There are the hard core ideologues who always vote D and the people in the middle who vote either party. Seems you are in the later category and hopefully you will soon see what a disaster this guy is. Probably wouldn't have mattered either way though. As soon as they threw the R's out of the counting rooms we all knew the jig was up and within 3 days Biden was the most popular President of all time. 81 million votes they tell us with many swing state counties with near or over 100 % voter turnout. That is truly amazing for a guy who didn't campaign. I wonder why his poll numbers are so, so bad in just 6 months? Could it be that he has no base? We all know they cheated and many, many Americans have zero respect for this reprobate. I guess you are ok with a demented but well intentioned President who is the definition of Manchurian. This guy has no clue where the hell he is at. He took a photo with a bunch of kids the other day and most of them had Trump gear. I guess he cannot stay away from sniffing little kids. But you keep on thinking he is well intentioned. It is quite shocking that you can make that statement.

Is this the same NPR that ran a story recently that said a man with a heat attack died because he was denied treatment at 40+ hospitals because they were full of COVID patients? Because I can tell you right now, that never happened. It’s prima facia ridiculous.

Look, when I want to hear the latest transgressions against anything LGBTQ+, hone my “uptalk” skills, or revel in “vocal fry”, I dial in NPR as much as the next non cis gender being.

I say that with no malice, or sarcasm. Want right wing crazy? Fox News. Russia paranoia? MSNBC. Everything and how it relates to LGBTQ+? NPR.

They’re all parodies of their worst critics. Have been for years.

What I saw today regarding that story is that the guy went to an urgent/emergency care…they determined he was having a heart attack…treated him to the best of their abilities..and then CALLED 43 hospitals asking if they had an ICU/CCU bed available for him…to which 42 said no. He was then transported by air to the first one that said they did have a bed for him. He spent 2-3 days there before he passed away from serious heart issues.

It’s not quite the same story as they originally portrayed…

what that says is that 75% of the calls to a poison control hotline were from people who bought ivermectin from a feed store and self prescribed. It does not say that 75% of people using ivermectin got it from a feed store. HUGE difference.

Does it say that's the total number of people taking it, or the total number who are calling in to poison control?

It says it was reported by poison control. I don't know how they would know the total..And it is only for Kentucky...but I don't know why Kentucky would be significantly different than other states.

Lol. So then why are you promoting lockdowns and vaccines? You seem to want to keep those Republican stats up.

23% of severe cases in June were vaccinated. The vaccines were also far more effective in June than they are now so I’m sure those stats are a lot worse. In addition to that, a recent study published by left leaning The Atlantic shows that up to 50% of covid hospitalizations are most likely in the hospital for totally non related issues. They just happened to test positive when admitted and most hospitals only test you if you’re not vaccinated... so I’d say the real numbers are probably closer to 50/50 between Democratic and Republican deaths. The vaccines do work a little bit so luckily for you there’s probably still a decent amount Republicans dying. Maybe 60/40.

I’ll try to make it clearer - your quote - “OF THE CALLS”. Meaning NOT 75% of all people in the US who have used Ivermectin, but 75% of the people in the US who have used Ivermectin AND who have called a poison control hotline got it from a feed store. Not everyone who uses ivermectin calls a poison control hotline.

Yes, that's correct. I don't know if that's a statically valid sample either. However, isn't it better than anecdotal?

Despite everyone's advice, I'll try one more time - its like saying that because 90% of the people that go to the cardiologist wind up having heart disease, I guess 90% of the population has heart disease. I cannot think of an example to make it any clearer.

Look, I'm not trying to claim that 75% of those that took Ivermectin got it from feed stores, etc...I was just countering the claim that most people who take Ivermectin were getting from doctors, which was claimed without evidence. Go back a couple of pages and see for yourself. I don't think I ever said 75% of everyone was from feed stores or farm supply.

You literally said “ I've read it's 75% from feed stores or farm supply store”.

But it sounds like we agree then that there is zero indication that 75% of the Ivermectin being used is coming from feed stores.

I think we almost agree. Yes, 75% from feed stores or farm supply, of those that called into Poison Control. A subset to be sure. So I can agree we have no data that 75% of Ivermectin being used is coming from feed stores, but we also have no indication most people are getting it from doctors, which is what was claimed.

i cannot believe I am saying this, but I have seen no numbers to date to indicate any % of people getting ivermectin from doctors…absent that, no hard data to say otherwise…so yes - we agree😀!!!

Little does he know, he’ll be taking Ivermectin by the end of this year or early next year. It’ll just be called something else. Pfizer’s vaccine works so well that they’re currently testing their own version of a conspiracy theory to supplement it. Merck, who makes Ivermectin, is currently testing a new covid oral drug as well. My guess is that it’ll pretty much be identical to Ivermectin. They’ll just call it something else and charge 20x more for it.

Even the FDA has said Ivermectin is safe when used as directed. They’ve just said they “need more evidence for use in covid.” So rather than test a completely safe drug that’s already been approved for other uses and has been used millions of times around the world specifically for Covid including in the U.S….. They would rather wait and test a completely new drug. Yea, clearly money is not at play here. Nope. Even though the new drug will most likely be identical to Ivermectin.

All the triple maskers and people cheering that others get fired will be taking Pfizermectin before they know it.

No word yet on if it’ll also be safe to use in livestock. My guess is yes.

I could be wrong but I don’t recall anyone working on a HCQ type of drug. I know a lot of doctors had success with HCQ, but it sounds like Ivermectin works even better. Maybe Pfizermectin will be like a HCQ/Ivermectin cocktail.

If it’s been properly evaluated through clinical trials & proven effective at preventing or treating COVID 19, fine. No one’s saying Ivermectin is unsafe for humans if taken as prescribed, just that it’s a bad idea to take an anti-parasitic on anecdotal evidence that it can prevent viral transmission. What’s being suggested by many is that people use a drug for other than its approved purpose as a replacement for a vaccine that’s been found safe & effective for the same condition. Terrible advice. If it’s found effective through clinical trials, great. But that’s what it would take.

Science changes my mind. Not Aunt Sandy on Facebook.

Youre right. Millions of people who all had success in the past year were all given horrible advice by their doctors. They all just got extremely lucky. All of them. Even though nature.com and the journal of antibiotics has said Ivermectin has demonstrated to be a potent inhibitor of RNA viruses (which is what covid is) back in 2017. All those doctors from around the world must have just glanced over that and just started throwing darts at a dartboard with Aunt Sandy and seein what sticks.

We’ll all be taking the FDA approved version of horse dewormer next year and we’ll be paying a lot more for the exact same thing. Or maybe the government will pick up the tab for the first year or two.

Maybe next year, Veterinary Clinics will be overrun with horses who’s owners injected them with the human version of Pfizermectin and have to start turning away dogs and cats coming in to get spayed and neutered.
