It doesn't do people's argument credit when they call ivermectin a horse dewormer. Yes, it can be used for that but it's a broad spectrum drug used for lots of things in humans and animals. Does it do what the alt right says? Probably not. But you look almost as dumb as they do when you call a WHO essential medicine horse dewormer.

let's hope everyone who still listens to Joe Bogan follows Mel G's advice when they get cancer.
What's up with Mel? Does he have Parkinson's or something similar? Or is he just strung out on cocaine? He was insanely, constantly twitchy the whole interview.

I’d probably just nod, too until the crazy old man went away.
Was gonna say he wouldn't have to nod along if he didn't talk to the crazies, but then I remembered it's precisely what he's getting paid such absurd amounts to do.
