Making fantastical statements like “their performance so far does not seem


To be bringing us any closer to the end of the pandemic” and making medical professionals and the media out to be the bogeyman is most definitely going to be divisive. You continue to make unfounded and flat out ignorant statements particularly with regards to the vaccines.

Rallying together for the sake of humanity would involve embracing and Encouraging safe and effective vaccines that are currently available instead of attempting to tout “miracle medicine” that thus far has shown mixed results at best. Instead of attempting to undercut “modern medicine” maybe you should try to trust and believe the people who have dedicated their lives to this. I don’t have any problem at all with someone discussing ivermectin with their doctor and using it. I don’t have any issue with doing research and trials to determine its effectiveness. I have a ton of problems with you continuing to spew anti-vax nonsense and touting a drug being used in an unproven way as a “miracle medication”. It’s irresponsible and dangerous and I’m going to call you on it every time I see it. If you don’t want an argument then stop making ridiculous claims like those.

If you want to talk about the state of journalism allow me to point you to this excerpt from the article you just posted:

“ preparing to save her life with a “wonder drug” that obliterates COVID-19. Discovering the drug was one thing, but getting it to Judy’s doctors in time to save her, getting it to the many thousands of people who needed it, would be a harrowing journey to rival the Iditarod mushers’ 1925 serum run of 675 miles through ice and snow to Nome, Alaska so Dr. Curtis Welch could stop the diphtheria epidemic”

“A wonder drug that obliterates COVID-19”? A “harrowing journey to rival the 1925 Iditarod”? There’s hyperbole and then there’s what’s written above. You’re simultaneously trying to convince people not to believe most doctors and journalists… but to believe the few that you find that say what confirms your own preconceived notions
