We had a dog had a terrible case of mange (found running wild with no owner). Several RXs were tried, I mean several, before Ivermectin. A "drug like that wouldn't even be given to a dog", unless nothing helped. 

May be if you bark like hell you will get it.

Yes.  I meant HCQ which is now in short supply for patients.  I'm waiting for the same thumbs down for Ivermectin which is being withheld from us by the giant drug corporations who are so corrupt that people shouldn't be taking the vaccine sad argument.  I used to be a data manager and worked on a study using levamisole combined with radiation.   It was double blinded but everyone knew who got the levamisole because they had noticeable side effects.  It was another anti parasitic used by vets in sheep.

I took it to mean that maybe if people acted like an animal they might be able to get a prescription for a veterinary deformed.

Has anyone noticed that it's only the right wingers who sells all of these fake cures and products? 

Please correct me if I'm wrong. 

Bleach, Ivermectin, HCQ, antivaxxers, no masks, changing hurricane paths, Jewish lasers, reptile people, child eating, bamboo whatever, etc etc, I don't see any Dems hawking conspiracy theories or involved in any of the evangelical nonsense or other companies! 

MTG, Cruz, trump, you name them and they have a connection to some outlandish form of stupidity and their followers fall for it! Repeatedly! 

Does that mean that republicans are dim witted or low IQ? (NOT my words) or just poorly educated and actually quite weak and needs pitying? 

Why this huge level of gullibility?

Madison Cawthorne is inciting another Insurrection type situation!

Rep. Madison Cawthorn calls Jan. 6 rioters 'political prisoners,' suggests he wants to 'try and bust them out' of jail

He said that they have plans in motion to remove Biden that he can't reveal. 

Tucker Carlson is saying that it's time for an armed rebellion with a picture of Biden, Blinken and Austin in the background! 

Some idiot in PA called Steve Lynch is threatening to take out the school board! 

Another one in Santa Monica is threatening to take out the LA city council! 

Good times, huh?

No surprise. 

It's sad that so few journalists report on this type of language using appropriate words like; dangerous, anti American, unconstitutional, slow motion coup.

I think just as Dominion is able to sue Sidney, 'the Kraken Powell, Rudy Van Helsing Giuliani and Mike Pillow Face for their deceit and lies, I think that News organizations should go after anyone who says they are reporting fake news too! 

This serves everyone well! 

No one will be able to lie, especially the politicians, because if the news reports the lies, they could be sued, which in their defense, they can refer back to the source, keeping the politicians somewhat honest. Fox Noise etc wouldn't be able to lie and lives would be saved. 

And of course freedom of speech comes into the equation, meaning a Supreme Court ruling eventually, which I would love to see if they could justify lying and misinformation! Either way a dissection of the ammendment is long overdue! 

I see it as a win, win all the way around for the people. Keep the politicians and news people accountable! Report the facts only! 

I can see such a ruling trickle down to even products, meaning we the public will be able to trust what we eat or buy! 

I mean since we can't seem to be truthful anymore leading to actual murder now, how else could you describe, when someone is deliberately putting out misinformation re a pandemic under the guise of freedom, so, maybe truth can be regulated through lawful means? 

Because I can see this getting much worse than it currently is!

There must be loud public push back against GOP lies or we won't survive their attack on our republic.

I read so much here individuals are not willing to vaccinate to foster better outcomes (life) for their children, parents, grandchildren and country. Well, history will tell you we had ancestors who had backbones and actually cared for the next generation.. 

One of my favorite series by Ruth Goodman is "Wartime Farms", yes it is an English series, The episode I am watching is "How is Christmas Different for WW2 Wartime Farms."

Thousands of "town/city" children were sent out to live in the countryside (to avoid the bombing on the cities)  and the farmers had the additional work of building houses for those children to sleep, feed, care for. (Not all children went to stay at grand country houses.) {I am not sure how much you know about WW2 in the UK}.  

Ruth Goodman shows in this series how the farm work had to continue while building beds, roofing outbuildings for habitation, etc. were done because of a nation working together.  This is not a new series so don't tell me it is propaganda. It just shows how a nation under siege (whether war or pandemic) actually cares for each other and for us, the future generation. Why are we letting our fellow citizens down, becoming selfish parasites, and deciding it is every man for himself?

And while the show is scripted, the basic premise is what good people do in war.... and we are in a wartime situation from Covid....and unlike other wars, it is everywhere in the US.

What have you done today to help the people of the US?

Vaccinating and masking are definitely displays of patriotism in 2021.
