So, like I said.

Well, should I tell them to come in so I can bill them for nothing?

Yeah, that other guy is an idiot.

Some `Defenders’ of Science Might Actually Be Hurting It

Whether it’s the lab-leak theory of COVID’s origin or the evidence for anomalous objects near Earth, those who insist uncomfortable ideas are unscientific are holding back potentially important discoveries.

The posture that we are smart enough to know the answer in advance, results in a self-fulfilling-prophecy that dismisses the need to collect new data, which in turn supports the premise that the existing data for anomalies is not convincing. This loop maintains a status-quo of ignorance and promotes speculations by the public. The duty of scientists is to promote evidence-based knowledge, not to assume that they know the answers based on past experience.

I think this is at the root of my issues with those on the left
The smug certainty that they know all the answers in advance...

It treats parasites not anti-viral.

Yeah, but...It'S fDa ApPrOvEd!

Yet another silly response.

Penicillin is FDA Approved. It does not possess apparent antiviral characteristics.

The concept of FDA approval simply indicates, if prescribed correctly, ivermectin is quite safe for human consumption ... as opposed to journalists' and politicians' insistence to the contrary. Period.
Which BTW, you still have not called out. There is a rationale for ivermectin trials.




Actually there is quite a bit of study on ivermectin's antiviral properties

You can use Coca Cola to clean toilets, or you can drink it.

The concept that one thing can do "2" things shouldn't be that shocking to people.

If you told someone that drinking Pepto Bismol would give you an erection, people would rush to stores to buy it.

If you tell people that eating a raw onion will help with arthritis, they'd run to the store to buy onions.

Is Ivermectin killing people? If the news would say, consult your doctor about it, instead of "look at these morons using horse medicine, and it doesn't work at all..." Maybe people wouldn't use horse medicine, and maybe they'd ask their doctor, and maybe a few people could be helped. Maybe just talking to the doctor without the fear of being told a JAB is the only answer would give people courage to talk to a doctor if they feel sick. It's not fricking rocket surgery here.

Liberals do not think outside the box, period.

The good doctor begins a hasty retreat from his earlier attitude in the thread.

think the takeaway is that you can drop the proof right in front of them, from their own source of authority, but the brainwashing has already taken over. I used to call it being in a bubble, but it has escalated to flat-out brainwashing at this point.

Demoralization

quote:

---

I’m as conservative as they come on this board but based on this study alone, I would not recommend ivermectin.

---

So instead of prescribing something that may very well help, you're one of the docs just sending people home telling them to stay hydrated.

Comical logic.

My biggest question/concern has always been: why is there no push to TREAT the illness? I get the push to some extent to want to vaccinate. But why not improve the treatment of those already infected?

They are suppressing drugs like Ivermectin & HCQ that can save lives. It’s evil.

---

Why not do anything and everything to minimize the suffering and sometimes death caused by this illness. Both Ivermectin and HCQ work to varying degrees, why not give it a try?
