    I’ve heard that this mess started because Ivermectin was tested in the developing world as a treatment for Covid, and that some of those who took it reported “feeling better.”

    Except in those parts of the world, many many people have untreated, festering parasite infestations like hookworm and many others. So yeah, when they take an antiparasitic compound, they start “feeling better,” whether they have Covid or not.

    I’m fine with the "let them destroy themselves“ angle but they’re also in power. Lawsuits are currently in motion that would revoke FDA approval for common vaccines. Revocation means nobody (except the rich) gets them.

      Cool; I’ll find a way to emigrate to Canada or the EU or something. I’m a skilled software engineer with specialization in devops, automation, data pipelines, and test framework design. I will leave and take my skills with me, as a refugee if I must. And I know for damn sure a lot of people I know with similar levels of skill who will do the same.
