They are going to start taking Ivermectin soon to cure this.
I find the Ivermectin worship so weird. You've got MAGA's "I don't trust big pharma so I won't take their fancy pants medicines" but for this one drug, that's also manufactured by pharmaceutical companies suddenly they pivot to "Ivermectin is a panacea because Jesus personally blesses every molecule in the horse deworming paste I put on my toast."
I mean, I realize it's foolish to expect consistency from conservatives. But it's such a fundamental contradiction you'd think even they would notice.
There was an early covid study from Japan? That said they tried ivermectin and it improved outcomes. A lot of different things were being tried to see if anything worked, not just ivermectin. Vitamin C and D were on the list of cures, too, I believe. After others tried to replicate it, they realized it didnt really improve anything, but it was too late. Word on the street was already out. The ivermectin supporters took this as a sign they were repressing a easy to obtain, over the counter drug in favor of a microchip vaccine. Really, it fed into all the conspiracy theories and got warped into becoming a cure all.
That's the best summary of this wild weeks and months I've ever seen!
Ivermectin wasn't really over the counter, it was rx for humans. What magats were doing was buying animal ivermectin, horse and cow paste which has significantly higher doses of the drug, which is toxic to people
One faith healer gets a blind man to stand on their own and take a step and they're set for life with followers.
