Patient hospitalized after ingesting "horse paste" promoted by Trump's "alien DNA" Doctor

?width=1200&height=673


A person in Mississippi is hospitalized after reportedly ingesting livestock medication containing ivermectin from a feed store to treat or prevent COVID-19 — a remedy promoted heavily by right-wing vaccine opponents in recent weeks.

Ivermectin, normally used to treat parasites in humans and livestock, is now being prescribed by quack doctors and promoted in online forums as the latest version of the Trumpian drug hydroxychloroquine. Doctors promoting ivermectin as a COVID-19 treatment include America's Frontline Doctors, the Trump-promoted Texas group that includes accused Capitol insurrectionist Dr. Simone Gold and "alien DNA" specialist Dr. Stella Immanuel (pictured).

“Devotees have besieged pharmacists with prescriptions from shady online prescribers, forcing pharmacies to crack down and treat the antiparasitic drugs like opioids," the Daily Beast reported recently. "As human-approved ivermectin prescriptions have been harder to come by, enthusiasts have taken to raiding rural tractor supply stores in search of ivermectin horse paste (packed with 'apple flavor!') and weighed the benefits of taking ivermectin 'sheep drench' and a noromectin 'injection for swine and cattle.'"

Earlier this month, a Texas official reported a noticeable increase in calls to poison control centers related to ivermectin.

If people want to believe quack medicine, let them follow through with it instead of prioritizing them over others who are the real victims of this pandemic.

I laughed then found out that at the big cowboy horse shows I used to frequent around here, it was the deal, THE deal. I still laughed. I should have gotten in on the ground floor. I have a ton of that stuff, some or much of it outdated and I just have not thrown it out. I could have made enough to fix my tractor!

Sure, why not? It kills the worms in my livestock why not a virus? Makes sense.

BRADLEY COUNTY, Tenn. — A text message we obtained through an open records request shows Bradley County Emergency Medical Services Director and Fire Chief Shawn Fairbanks sent a message offering firefighters "prevention alternatives for COVID-19," a spokesman for the county confirms.

The text message:

"As you all know Covid is back upon us now. I have been looking at studies and trying to figure out how we can combat being infected with the virus and have found studies done on Ivermectin and it seems to get people infected with Covid well within 2-3 days. People who take ivermectin as a precautionary supplement do not get Covid according to the studies done. It’s also apparent that Vac and non vac people are getting Covid , but 60-70% of people in the hospitals with Covid are vaccinated**.
So anyone that would like to take ivermectin the service will be making it available to those who would like to have it. This is total voluntary. I’m trying to keep as many people well and working and not to be sick with Covid. You can look up ivermectin if you have any questions or call me if you’d like to discuss it. If you decide to take it you take one loading dose pill and then one pill every 30 days to maintain the process.
If you want ivermectin call Mike and let him know. We will need you weight so Dr. Coleman will know how much to give you for the loading dose."

He should be prosecuted. Employers have a responsibility to maintain a safe workplace for employees. This is no different that if he neglected their equipment (example allowing oxygen tanks to go empty) or the building in some way (example, allowing mold to grow)

He is pushing unproven and unapproved medicine on his employees.

What the hell “studies” was he looking at? Those done at the Mengele Institute of human butchery? And he’s not a doctor or an epidemiologist so he damn well has no business recommending the taking of medication. Jesus the lethal criminal, life endangering insanity.

That the data on the vaccine is incomplete and we don’t know long term affects and it isn’t FDA approved etc etc…

But saw something on YouTube about horse medicine? SOUNDS GREAT! Glug glug glug!!!

Some background: parents are educated, dad has a Ph.D., mom a Masters. But she went off the deep end early. Moved the family (4 young kids) way out in the country, home-schooled them their entire lives. They just went on vacation with the kids and their spouses and all but two became infected. Sent me a message saying they found a doctor who would prescribe this and they all took it and have recovered. I said I was happy for her and left it at that. So odd that they have no problem digesting an animal parasitic drug, but vaccines are bad

to get a bale of hay for my garden. In making conversation with the owner I brought up the dumbness of eating horse medication and got a tongue lashing about how it really works and that there are 250 doctors across the U.S. of A. that will attest to that.

Got my bale and got the hell outa there. I just couldn't take the crazy.
