The COVID-19 Virus Is NOT a Parasite!

That is a flaw in anyone's reasoning who considers an antiparasitic drug like hydrochloroquine or ivermectin to be a possible treatment for COVID-19. Parasites are living things. Viruses may or not be alive. They are not in any way related to each other.

There is no reason to suspect that an antiparasitic medication would be useful against any virus. The biology is completely different.

Ridiculous on its face!

That's a pretty weird argument from a guy who probably takes a blood pressure lowering medication to get hard-ons.

I guess MoronMan doesn't realize that HCQ and ivermectin might have effects beyond what he imagines he understands. That ivermectin hindered SARS-CoV-2 infection was discovered by the Aussies over a year ago, and that HCQ hindered the virus from invading cells much as it hinders the malaria amoeba from invading cells was learned even earlier. They aren't magic bullets that preclude the need for all other treatments and preventives, but both have been and are under political attack, not shown ineffective by proper controlled testing.

He could've been anything he wanted to be, he could've been a brilliant doctor--just like the first lady Dr. Jill Biden--but he chose instead to make his mark in the field of thrift store scrounging.

     The problem is that those treatments, such as they are, have been promulgated by the "wrong people," according to DUmmies. The only people permitted to advance a treatment are those who have received the blessing of the Democrat Celebrity Complex Hive Mind, irrespective of how wrong/misguided/incomplete/short sighted/uninformed it might be. In other words, we are supposed to take what Lizzo thinks is safe and effective, because she's a strong independent woman who don't need no man. Or we are supposed to heed the advice of the randomly selected TikTok tranny, because they are oppressed by the US flag. In other words, roughly half of the people in this country are insane and would like for the other half to become insane as well.

That seems to be a limitation on their thinking in general. "We meant for Policy X to have effect Y. It can't possibly be doing harm!"

I suppose that the MAGA people taking the horse dewormer outrage should be allowed to fade away but since this story is funny and it involves primitive hero Rachael Maddow getting snookered...

‘NO one thought to fact-check?’ Rolling Stone, Rachel Maddow BUSTED pushing FAKE story about OK hospitals overwhelmed with horse dewormer ODs

Look at all those people with gunshot wounds waiting in line in coats … during the summer.

They didn’t even bother to find a picture that could PASS as real.

And of course, Rachel Maddow had to jump on the bandwagon and push this fake story as well:

Gunshot victims left waiting as horse dewormer overdoses overwhelm Oklahoma hospitals.  These idiots will believe anything.

Yep, Proggies got hoovered by a falsehood they wanted to hear and be true. Unsurprisingly.
