Darwin Files: Using Horse De-Wormer to Prevent COVID

Mississippi has one of the highest rates of COVID infections in the nation, and not surprisingly, it also  has one of the lowest rates of vaccination against the virus.   People in Mississippi don't trust the vaccine, often because of things they hear from national newscasters and politicians, most of whom are vaccinated against COVID.    But whether they will admit it openly or not, most of those same people now know the virus is real and so is the danger - and many also know people who have actually died or at least been extremely ill from COVID.

It's a fine line - maintaining the glossy patina of outward ignorance while, at the same time, protecting one's self against the dreaded virus that actually is spreading through the population and killing people.  If only there was some way to stay safe without wearing masks, hiding indoors, and taking that awful vaccine that the lefties are promoting.  

It is a situation that just begs for quack cures.

This past week there has been yet another medical crisis in Mississippi.  Calls to the state's poison control center have risen dramatically - and at least seventy percent of those calls have been related to the ingestion of "Ivermectin," a horse de-wormer that is purchased in feed stores.  And why are all of these dull-witted sons and daughters of Jefferson Davis suddenly being poisoned with a horse de-wormer?  It turns out that these geniuses who fear vaccines which have passed rigorous clinical trials and widespread public usage with flying colors, are eagerly swallowing a medicine intended for large farm animals, one that has no proven benefits in dealing with COVID and could, in fact, be fatal to humans, all because social media rumors and half-baked "journalists" are touting it as a legitimate weapon in the fight against COVID.

Here is a sampling (from the Maddowblog) of what the Fox Wall-of-Noise has been blasting at them:

Laura Ingraham:  "We know that our FDA has in many ways failed us by not allowing for the use of Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, both of which are used around the world to reduce COVID hospitalizations and death."

Sean Hannity:  "I pelted them with questions about COVID-19 and the vaccine and therapeutics hydroxychloroquine, Ivermectin ... as well as other proactive treatments and practices that are already helping COVID -19 patients all across the country."

Tucker Carlson:  "On June 5th [Bret] Weinstein discussed the benefits of a drug called Ivermectin, which can and is used around the world to treat and prevent the spread of the coronavirus."

 

Quack, quack, and more quack!

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is literally begging people not to use Ivermectin in an effort to protect themselves from COVID.

Mississippi, of course, isn't the only state in which media and political dishonesty combine with general gullibility to create an even more dangerous public health crisis, but is is a state that is already overburdened with low vaccination rates, high infection rates, a complete lack of available hospital beds, and a shortage of equipment and medical personnel to handle the emergency health crisis that is already overwhelming  the state.  The good people practicing medicine in Mississippi really don't have the time or the resources to waste on fighting the results of human consumption of horse de-wormer.

Fox News personalities are themselves taking the legitimate COVID vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna - and they are not taking Ivermectin - although their dancing horses probably are!
