I agree and why I usually try and mock and deflect his original posts. For me best not to engage with a person who will not debate a point he brought up to begin with. Anyone trying to grind us down with lies and falsity needs to be scorned and I do scorn NI.

Mississippi officials warn against using anti-parasite drug to treat COVID amid uptick in calls to poison control

Mississippi officials warn against using anti-parasite drug to treat COVID amid uptick in calls to poison control

By Tori B. Powell

August 21, 2021 / 12:05 AM / CBS News

The Mississippi State Department of Health issued an alert Friday warning against using an anti-parasite drug to treat or prevent COVID-19. The alert came as calls to the state poison control center have increased, with at least 70% being related to ingesting ivermectin – a drug commonly used for livestock.

"I certainly would strongly recommend people not take any medicine from a feed store or a veterinary source," Mississippi Health Officer Dr. Thomas Dobbs said Wednesday at a COVID-19 briefing. "It can be dangerous."

And this, gooberization of America continues.

Quote:
“People won’t take the vaccine because they’re super suspicious of that. But they’re taking horse deworming medication that they’re buying at a feed store? For COVID?” asked Maddow. “Why, on top of everything else Mississippi has to deal with right now, why are they dealing with this?”

“I have a guess,” she added, before playing a series of clips of Fox News personalities — including Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity — promoting ivermectin. Hannity pushed the drug as one of the “proactive treatments and practices that are already helping COVID-19 patients all across the country.”

Mississippi is currently struggling with the highest rate of COVID-19 cases and the lowest rate of vaccination in the country.

Meanwhile, “Fox News is busy saying, ‘Don’t take the vaccine, but do take this horse deworming medication, trust us, it is proven,’” said Maddow.

The FDA, National Institutes of Health and World Health Organization have warned people against using the drug for covid treatment and a March study published in the medical journal JAMA found that ivermectin does not speed recovery in people with mild cases of the disease. Pharmaceutical giant Merck, an ivermectin manufacturer, has also said it did not support the drug’s safety and efficacy for covid treatment.

So, even the manufacturer says not to use it, but Not Insane knows better because he heard about it on the Intertoobz.

U.S. FDA @US_FDA

You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y'all. Stop it.

Why You Should Not Use Ivermectin to Treat or Prevent COVID-19
Using the Drug ivermectin to treat COVID-19 can be dangerous and even lethal. The FDA has not approved the drug for that purpose. fda.gov

Once again, dumbass Trumpers put their faith in some silly ass bullshit rather than just go get a vaccine like every sensible human being. Who cares? Let them poison themselves. All the sooner we won't have to deal with them anymore.

So I guess ol’ Turtle Mitch is an “enemy of the people” now, eh Trumpkins?

^^ Even more so, its now in the hands of the private sector as usual.

McConnell from the link above:

Quote:
Sen. McConnell says he supports the right of businesses to choose. "What I support is letting people who run those businesses make them, themselves."

When asked if he would encourage owners to implement the policy, the Senator responded, "I encourage them to make decisions that make sense. And I repeat, we know it works."
What are Trumpkins going to do? Boycott cruise lines, hotels, restaurants and entertainment parks? Or move to Alabama and Mississippi?

Companies with big campuses like Google and Apple here will mandate or their employees will continue to work from home which is not working well either.
