In the 1800’s you could buy bottles of alcohol, opium, codeine over the counter. I see this pix says Providence, RI. My city. They used to give sedatives to teething babies, scary to think of now.

He died on his living room couch.

MAGA, MAHA, it's all insanity that eats its own adherents.

My coworker who is an RN waited until she was non-responsive and could no longer refuse the ambulance, which she had done twice already.

Too late to save her.

In 2021 there was a report that stuck in my head. A guy (or perhaps his wife) sued a hospital to treat his COVID with ivermectin. The man died.

The story blew my mind back then.

I can't believe it is still a "thing."

That human puss ball survived because he got the best care in the the world, including cutting edge (science!) anti-viral treatments. But not Ivermectin.

And a curse on all the profiteers who mislead people

promote parasitic resistance. Right now, we have no approved drugs for human cases of New World Screw Worm--which WILL happen if it is not controlled in cattle, pets and wildlife with the spread across the Mexican border. Right now, two drugs look promising for those human cases that are not caught sufficiently early to prevent larval migration beyond the skin and dermis. Based on anecdotes from South America, ivermectin is one. Lotilaner (already approved for use in canines as part of Elanco Credelio Quattro-- and being studied for prevention of Lyme Disease transmission from infected Ixodes ticks in humans) might be the other. Surgical removal of these larva can be incomplete and thus we have no approved drugs to use should we start seeing human cases to kill any migrating larva. And yes, they can migrate to the brain--something our brainless RFK Jr, should take note of, but won't.

So, these assholes are not only doing nothing to help themselves, but may well be putting many of us at risk in the future.

Meanwhile the regime capos are getting their vaccines and other recommended medicines including mRNA, etc.

or established standard treatment. it will however improve the gene pool

To themselves or their families. The kids grow up to be just like them in most cases. I'm just so down caring about them.

And persuading them to avoid meds that could save their lives, and just for profit

Why they have a problem taking a vacinne (essentially a drug) to help prevent COVID but they don't have a problem taking a drug not designed to fight COVID to fight COVID?

Getting followers to hold conflicting beliefs isn't a bug for cults. It is a feature. For example, dear leader is both completely infallible and the victim of constant persecution.

When you're followers buy whatever you say, however much the things contradict each other, you know you've got them. They have stopped thinking and just follow.

I’m not sure I could bear to hear their answers.

and watched Fox News, that "the establishment", meaning in this case real medical researchers and doctors, and bureaucrats who support them, are "don't trust" - the "don't trust the government (especially its 'experts' )" line has been pushed at them since the John Birch Society and Goldwater, I guess, and got a big boost from Reagan. And they trust anyone with smart patter who also opposes regulated medicine (proper research doesn't come with smart patter, of course - scientists let the data do the talking, and are rarely that way inclined anyway, and the same goes for bureaucrats).

That misinformation is from Trump’s buddy Putin’s “Storm 15-16” propaganda machine with
the end goal of weakening America.

“Misinformation and disinformation are no longer sitting at the periphery of our challenges, but very much at the core, front and centre of the daily humanitarian response, but also clinical realities,” said Robert Mardini, Director General of Geneva University Hospitals and former head of the International Committee of the Red Cross.

“They influence how patients interpret their symptoms, whether they are they seek care, how they adhere to treatments, and how communities respond to public health recommendations

I wouldn't stand in the way. Go for it, stupid jackasses. Every one of those clowns is a repuke.

Unfortunately, the people who buy this stuff will use it for other diseases; not just COVID.

They should not try to cure themselves but seek medical attention.

There is certainly some competition for that "prize," but this will definitely aid their cause.

To rival Mississippi and Meth Virginia. They are making a valiant effort, though.

As a friend (from West Virginia) said to me, “There’s dumb, and then there’s West Virginia dumb!”.

My pharmacy has prominent signs on the front door and the cashiers' counter and have for a few months.

we may have fewer of them by election day

Hundreds of millions of prescriptions have been dispensed in Africa to prevent river blindness and other tropical diseases, so if side-effects were a major problem, its use would surely have been discontinued long ago. And there's strong evidence that this usage pattern is related to the lower frequency of Covid cases in those countries when compared to adjacent African countries that didn't participate in these prevention programs.

Maybe I can move to Tennessee and open an Ivermectin dispensary. Is it recreational there or just medical?
At one time I would have been upset to read about this. I don’t care any more. In fact I would bet that the right people will take Ivermectin and the right people won’t.
Any antiparasitic drug is toxic. It has to be, to be effective. The therapeutic dose is probably pretty close to the human liver damage dose.

Moderators, I hope this is not too insensitive.
