Politician to miss his anti-vaccine mandate rally because he has COVID

A Republican lawmaker in North Dakota will miss his Monday rally opposing vaccine mandates because he has COVID-19. Instead, Rep. Jeff Hoverson said
he will stay home and take a cocktail of medications including the unproven horse de-wormer drug ivermectine and the malaria remedy Hydroxychloroquine.

Hoverson claims his home remedy should be more widely used by the public. He noted that he’s not hospitalized and said he’s on the mend.

The lawmaker, who is also a pastor, told the Associated Press he tested positive last week for coronavirus. He said three of his teenage children will attend Monday’s rally at the statehouse. He is a father of six.

Hoverson has battled mask mandates. He was barred from boarding a flight with his wife at Minot, N.D., International Airport late last month after refusing a TSA patdown.

"I took folk remedies and I got better!"

You were going to get better without them, then. Fucking dipshit. Correlation not causation.

9. Please let me add

Drinking your own urine Likely survival
Eating your own shit Likely survival
Eating your front lawn. Likely Survival
Drinking from dogs bowl. Likely survival
Smoking Pot. Likely survival
Smoking Crack. Likely survival
Shooting Heroin. Likely survival

As you correctly pointed out, none of these things have anything to do with surviving Covid, but there are fucking morons out there who if told by Q or FOX or some other keyboard commando would be willing to try and then claim they were the cure.
