It is wild how they just jump from one thing to other mentioning things at random. "I know this guy who can point his finger at you and you will feel it, because you know... how did they build the pyramids?? This thing is like quantum physics".
Is this the effects of too much ivermectin?

It's really quite scary how many people will believe claims from someone who has no qualifications on the subject just because they are an influencer. Ivermectin works on mites and other parasitic animals by paralyzing their muscles. Following this logic, it would be analogous to claiming that benzodiazepines cured my friend's broken limb.

When numbnuts have no power in society, it's often dismissed as a fool's errand to try to counter their crazy claims. But I think we all need to be countering the crazy at all times, not just when the biggest crazies are enjoying power and reach. Otherwise, we get Joe Rogan and Mel Gibson talking about curing terminal cancer with animal dewormer and Donald Trump winning a second term and appointing RFK Jr. to delete vaccines from history.

Horse/barn door situation, but still. It can always get worse.

Why can't they take like acute doses of actual poison? Why is it always this bullshit? Don't be a pussy, drink the bleach, bitch!
