Rachel's talking about how 70% of calls to Mississippi's poison control are for ivermectin.

Why ivermectin, the horse-worming drug? She played clips of Hannity, Laura Ingraham and Tucker Carlson pushing ivermectin as a covid cure.

As she points out, they won't trust a vaccine but they'll go take a horse de-wormer that they bought at the feedstore.

she follows the ivermectin with that orange sack of $hit talking about hydroxychloriquin and withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Please, please, please, can we never have to see that miserable, lying, pus bag again? I had to turn it off.

Senior officials saying the visa system was deliberately broken so that the Afghan allies would be stranded when we left.

How I hate TFG.

Is that it can be hard on them...they don't feel good for a day or so. I doubt a human taking ivermectin feels very good, either.

As crazy and stupid as it is to be ingesting it, I can understand why people did after hearing again and again on their news station that it is being used worldwide as a covid cure.

I'd think they are opening themselves up to huge lawsuits. At the very least.

Their defense will be what it always is.

It is obviously satire and entertainment and no rational person would take it seriously.

They should be made to run a crawl stating that the shows are satire and entertainment.
