I personally blame Facebook for all the anti vaccine shit that's been going around. I wouldn't mind seeing Mark Zuckerberg dragged before a Senate committee on this.

So my dad found someone connected to my cousin (who is probably more left-leaning liberal than I am) and the made a post favoring Ivermectin. And that gets reposted and reposted and people start believing it. My rule of thumb right now is that if it's on Facebook it's bullshit. But that's just me.

It’s being used in parts of India, most of South America, South Africa, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia plus many more countries and yesterday Japan said they will start using it. Research countries using Ivermectin for Covid online
Ivermectin pills for animals & people are the same med but the animal pills are too strong for people.
It has been labelled one of the Triumvirate of human drugs – that is, ranked top three among all time, all-important essential drugs in human history, along with penicillin and aspirin because it has saved so many lives in 3rd world countries- from river blindness to encephalitis.

And Japan has been studying Ivermectin since last September. It's still not showing promise.

And I'd point out that Ivermectin use was widespread in India BEFORE Covid hit as an antiparasitic. Didn't stop them from seeing 4 million dead. Same goes for Brazil's staggering death toll.

in third world countries. WHO calls it one of the most important meds in third world nations. The people pill and animal pill are the same but being it’s prescribed by weight, the animal pills are too strong for a person. The person pill has very few side effects - billions have taken the people version of this drug with no major side effects.

By allowing Facebook Groups to encourage people to take near lethal doses of a veterinary de-worming concoction they are conspiring with them in what will inevitably be the deaths of gullible fools.

It is time to regulate Facebook now!

Crazy how they won't get vaccinated, because they claim they're unproven and "experimental," but will experiment with Ivermectin. Goes to prove the reason they're not getting vaccinated is because it doesn't allow them to "own the libs."
