‘You Won’t Get Vaccinated… But You’ll Take a Drug Meant for Deworming Livestock?’

In recent weeks, an anti-parasite drug called ivermectin has been in the news because certain quacks and bad faith actors on television and online have baselessly touted it as a potential cure for Covid-19. The drug is often given to livestock as a deworming treatment, and some Americans are buying the medication at feed stores for their own use.

Don Lemon addressed the phenomenon on Monday night. He noted that more 1,000 Americans are now dying from Covid each day, once again. “There are people who don’t trust the vaccines,” he said. “But they’re willing to try any wacky, fake cure they read about online or they see in right wing media.” The CNN host noted that at least two people in Mississippi were hospitalized after ingesting ivermectin.

“So let me get this straight,” said Lemon. “Think about this, ok?
You won’t get vaccinated. You won’t wear a mask. You said you’re worried about the FDA approval, you don’t know what’s in the vaccine.

But you’ll take a drug meant for deworming livestock? Really? You’re gonna trust your health and your life to rumors and misinformation?”

2. At least they have no worms . . ..

maybe.

7. No livers either, but

their worm-free corpses will be VAX FREE and totally un-trackable by Bill Gates.

3. It's not only effective, it only requiers one treatment. Once worms are gone, eating your own shit

will protect you from COVID. That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it.

4. Ivermectin is used to treat parasites in humans also. But it is not approved for

Covid and from the dosing I've seen it is only 1 or 2 doses that is needed. I don't know what these people are taking.

Just to make sure we are being 100% accurate.

5. ...I always heard you can't fix stupid...

...apparently ya don't need to; as it self-deletes...

...why would you even consider using this stuff?

I know there's 'big words' on the label; but don't the pictures of animals tip em off?
