Just in case there wasn’t enough evidence already to suggest this man is a fucking moron, he’s taking something used to treat animal bum worms. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For accuracy, there is a form of ivermectin for human use. It's prescribed for things like scabies and head lice. Some loons have been using the veterinary version because it was easier for them to obtain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ivermectin is still going through clinical trials but the initial tests show it does have some degree of effect. The WHO have said that until it's approved, people shouldn't be popping it outside of clinical trials. If the man is happy to make himself a guinea pig however, just let him be.

Whatever the merits or otherwise of using Ivermectin to treat Covid (and it may have well have some effect on stimulating the immune system, even if it does nothing against the virus itself), I just find it odd/amusing that people will refuse a vaccine because they don't trust big Pharma and the vaccine isn't properly tested, but will self medicate with Ivermectin. Where the fuck do they think the ivermectin comes from - it doesn't miraculously fall out of the sky. And it obviously hasn't been fully tested against Covid. As it happens, the Ivermectin itself is likely to be safe. As Toast said earlier - it is widely used in humans across the world to treat parasites including Onchocerca which causes River Blindness. For some reason, people always focus on the fact that these drugs are used in veterinary medicine, despite the fact that most drugs are used in both humans and animals. A classic example is when people taking ketamine for recreational purposes are described as taking "horse tranquilisers", despite the fact that ketamine is commonly used in human anaesthesia. Anyhow, it's a win-win for Laurence Fox. Once he gets over the Covid-19 (as he probably will, since he is a relatively young fit healthy person), he can continue to be smug about how he knows more than the "experts" out there, while also no longer having an itchy arse. 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As mentioned, it is also prescribed for humans but in a different form. Obviously you won't find a "recommended dosage for humans" on the veterinary version.

Becoming a doctor isn't as hard, or extensive, as people think it is. A neurosurgeon is much more impressive. Just depends on what school you go too.

Best steer clear of her if you get nits. I'd be worried if they sent me to a palliative care doctor for nits! Just as a general addendum rather than outright to yourself though: my dad was a medic. We still ask his advice on a lot (and he was an expert in his field) but he does warn us that there's a lot of areas of medicine and health that he'd know fuck all about, because your expertise is usually specific, not general. So a doctor not knowing X, Y or Z isn't that usual. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well yeah, I acknowledged that, but it's annoying that she didn't bother to look it up, and has thus vastly increased the already vast number of people who now believe that ivermectin is only for horses.

gcreptile 10,939 Posted February 7, 2022 Dr. Vladimir Zelenko is one of the initial promoters of Ivermectin therapy against COVID. Ans he's pretty deep in the whole globalist conspiracy thing, and so on. (Quote: "People who take the vaccine are no longer human.") Anyway, he has a recurrence of lung cancer which is still treatable but apparently inoperable. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Zelenko https://www.peakprosperity.com/forum-topic/dr-zelenko-implores-right-action-as-he-faces-cancer/ Doesn't look that bad in recent pictures though - not yet. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Immortal 632 Posted February 8, 2022 I got engaged recently, and I learned an interesting tidbit from my fiancee that her grandmother is a good friend of former Olympic sprinter Dorothy Hyman, who won 3 medals in the Olympics including a silver medal for the 100 meters in the 1960 Rome Olympics. An interesting choice for a death pool team, I'm going to try and get some more inside information if I can and update you on this. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
