Pro-Trump Cartoonist Ben Garrison Says He Has COVID-19 and Is Treating it With Ivermectin and Beet Juice
Business Insider ^ | 9/28 | Mia Jankowicz

The right-wing cartoonist Ben Garrison says he has a "rough" case of COVID-19 and is treating it with ivermectin and beet juice, according to Gizmodo.

Garrison, known for his cartoons strongly supportive of Donald Trump, told the outlet in an email Sunday that he and his wife had been sick for about two weeks with the coronavirus, which they believe they picked up in a restaurant.

Garrison wrote to the outlet that he and his wife, both in their 60s, were drinking beet juice as well as "taking Ivermectin and various vitamins including a lot of Zinc ." Beets have many health benefits, as Insider's Ashley Laderer reported, but they have not been proved to treat or prevent COVID-19.

As for vitamin supplements including zinc, Harvard Health Blog wrote in April that "most of the evidence is unconvincing" that they could effectively treat the virus.

Are any cartoonists pro-Biden? Pro-Democrat?

He’s a hell of a cartoonist. I hope he and his wife get better fast.

Special prayer for Ben, I love His cartoons. He’s clever and biting without being mean. I hope he recovers quickly.

Dang, I wish him and his wife well.

The CONSERVATIVE cartoonist....

How come “progressives” are never called “left-wing” or liberal?

I was unaware of Ivermectin until last month, August and hearing folks I listen to on podcasts talking about it. Not a peep about it last year or this Spring. Back then it Hydroxycloroquine.

Leave him alone. He has a right to be wrong about the vaccine, and he’s not using the hospital system.
