Liberal Talking Point About Joe Rogan and Ivermectin Gets Blown up From Unexpected Source
Red State ^ | 09/03/2021 | Nick Arama

Posted on 09/03/2021 8:43:02 PM PDT by SeekAndFind


Joe Rogan got a lot of attention from folks after he announced he had the Wuhan coronavirus but that he used a cocktail of things to fight it — including ivermectin — and was feeling better. He’s been a strong voice against vaccine passports and forced mandates when it comes to the virus.

Now, you shouldn’t take something because someone talks about it on the internet or because the government says to take something or not take something. What you take should be between you and your doctor, based on what is best for you, with your doctor knowing your particular case.

But just the discussion of ivermectin infuriated some folks on the left. They were beside themselves that Rogan mentioned it, attacking it as a “horse dewormer.”

Joe Rogan posted a video to social media in which he revealed that he has COVID-19. The comic and popular podcast host said he took Ivermectin, a dewormer meant for horses that is “not authorized or approved by FDA for prevention or treatment of COVID-19" https://t.co/AJbQ049nYH pic.twitter.com/Kse7tUuMr7

— The Hollywood Reporter (@THR) September 1, 2021

Joe Rogan: "I'm taking horse dewormer, steroids, monoclonal antibodies, antibiotics, and a vitamin drip."

"Wow, when were you diagnosed with Covid?"

Joe Rogan: "With what?"

— The Daily Show (@TheDailyShow) September 1, 2021

People: Don’t take horse dewormer to cure a deadly virus.

I can’t believe I have to say this.

— George Takei (@GeorgeTakei) September 3, 2021

Now this one probably wins for worst self-own, from a Newsweek editor-at-large:

Even the Taliban is like “we only use ivermectin on horses and not people.”

— Naveed Jamali (@NaveedAJamali) September 2, 2021

Imagine trying to use the Taliban to attack someone, but really revealing your own ignorance.

Because ivermectin isn’t just a “horse dewormer.” While it’s not approved by the FDA for use for COVID, it’s an anti-parasitic drug, approved for humans for other purposes.

Indeed the guy who came up with it, William Campbell, won the Nobel Prize for it in 2015, because of its significant contribution toward helping combat parasites that caused problems for about 100 million people around the world. “Treatment is so successful that these diseases are on the verge of eradication, which would be a major feat in the medical history of humankind,” the Nobel committee said.

So anyone calling it a horse dewormer is revealing they don’t understand how it’s been used. And one thing that’s really hilarious, given this “fake news” about it just being a “horse dewormer” is who is recommending the usage of ivermectin for refugees coming into the country to fight issues of parasites: the CDC.

Since ivermectin is now just a “horse dewormer” why is the CDC recommending refugees take it before arriving in the United States?

So either you have to believe the CDC is insulting refugees and calling them horses. Or they’re trying to poison them. Or — the truth — this blows up the left’s ridiculous “horse dewormer” nonsense about ivermectin because it has been used for humans. The CDC is not recommending it for COVID, however.

But it’s still very funny that these folks on the left think they’re attacking people calling it “horse dewormer” when they’re just revealing their own ignorance and lack of understanding of medicine.

A doctor can use any approved drug for any purpose he sees fit.

The FDA does not dictate how medicine is practiced.

Calling it horse de wormer etc... is yet another example of the utter propaganda of the political/media axis that acts as a Ministry of Truth under this TechnoTotalitarianism system.

The left are either stupid or willfully ignorant (probably both). There are many drugs that are prescribed to humans and animals.

I bet some of the prescriptions these leftists are on right now that are prolonging their own lives and health are also prescribed to their pet dog or cat.

Austin Goolsby (D) and Stephen Moore (R) were on Fox News today talking about the horrible jobs report, and Goolsby said don’t take ivermectin in a mocking way. They both blamed coronavirus for the report.

Not the case for covid. A doctor using anything other than the strict guidelines set forth will be 100 percent liable and lose their license. Following the guidelines they are protected

Lots of things can be—and are—prescribed to treat diseases in animals. Food and water, for example.

And now that they’ve been informed of that fact, leftists will begin boycotting food and water....any century now.

It does not say to take ivermectin for Covid, does it? In fact, it does not specifically mention why it is recommended.

No.

If he prescribes dosages or schedules outside indications he could get in trouble.

But otherwise he is free to use any drug any way he wants. It’s called using a drug off-label which is done all the time.

What stops them now is reimbursement and other payments.

If the patient pays there is no problem.

And anyone can sue at any time for anything, which would be a consideration.

I read today that Rogan may not have covid after all. False positive and he freaked out. Two days later, negative test.

Now he’s in trouble, vulnerable, because he’s going to have to wait 90 days thereabouts before he can get a vaccine, since he got the antibody drip.

Did Rogan say he would be getting the vaccine?

... well he is lucky that he has the 90 days so he CAN’T get the killer jab!! Otherwise he would be 5X MORE likely to die from ChiComFlu than skipping the poison... per latest research figures from fully vaxxed Isreal. ...ymmv...

Here’s why they don’t.

https://www.phe.gov/Preparedness/legal/prepact/Pages/4-PREP-Act.aspx

From Dr. Malone: If the hospital or physician refuses to treat you with anything other than Remdesivir (which has an EUA still outstanding despite failing said trials), dexamethasone, oxygen and a ventilator (which, you remember, Trump bought tens of thousands of for this explicit purpose under the DPA) they are immune from all legal action you may take due to their negligence, even if they KNOW there are other treatment options that, on the science, work.

They lose this immunity if they don’t treat “correctly”.

Oh.

Will this be considered just like Gunnz and AmmuNishion?

Because if it is, it will be met w/ the same response.

Just bought two more syringes of it yesterday.
