The lucky slimeball got vaccinated so he'll probably just have to isolate for the time being.

Hey Mr. Not Insane,

Why would anyone in their right mind (now there is the catch) depend on some arbitrary medication when over 4.7 Billion does of the Covid vaccines have been given worldwide? Isn't that enough of a data base? So why would anyone resort to back alley treatments when one can get an approved vaccine for free in your own neighborhood (for most of us urbanites).

Caution: This is a rhetorical question.

Say now, let's go get us some horse medicine (for the treatment of parasitic worms) instead of a scientifically researched and tested ACTUAL VACCINE that's had billions of doses administered and has proven to do what vaccines do! Oh yeah, said vaccine is available for free.

FALSE Only an idiot would self-prescribe this to "treat" COVID. Sadly, Trumpkins are idiots - every last one of them.
Sorry, but it has worked for every one of my friends that tried it. I just checked back with my brother last night. It's completely gone. The virus, and symptoms that is. And again, look at the stats at the links in the OP. You are simply trying to ignore empirical evidence. Your link simply tries to destroy a straw man. That is your right, of course.

Reminds me of the God debate. Some people say he doesn't exist and there is no proof. Meanwhile, my family has two bonafide miraculous healings as well as non-healing miracles and actual spiritual encounters. So believe what you want to believe.

That is actually a good question. If Covid was the plague and killing even ten percent of those exposed, I'd make myself a beta tester of an unproven vaccine. But it's not. Also, this "arbitrary" medication now has empirical evidence to support its use, and has a long history of use for eliminating parasites with no side effects. If the current covid vaccines were held to the same "safety" measures as previous vaccines, they would all be pulled from the market.

FWIW, one of the members of our sunday school class just tested positive for covid. I'll give you all updates on my and my wife's condition. We're not wearing masks, not social distancing, and not vaccinated. And we are not changing our lifestyle at all. Let's see how it goes.

So, is anyone else here in their "right mind", besides me?

At least one individual has been hospitalized in Mississippi after ingesting a drug intended for treating worms in livestock, the Mississippi State Department of Health revealed today. The medicine, ivermectin, is not approved for treating COVID-19.

“There are potential toxicities. So it’s something, you know, as you know, I think some people are trying to use it as a preventative, which I think is really kind of crazy. So please don’t do that,” Mississippi State Health Officer Dr. Thomas Dobbs said during a discussion on Zoom today.

MSDH later confirmed to Mississippi Free Press reporter Nick Judin that the person was hospitalized in the state for ivermectin toxicity...
