    Again, anyone who would be foolish enough to do this is basically playing Russian Roulette with their own health - as well as others. There's thousands of them now in the ground.

    It's funny that he used the world "ethical" in there.

    Calling Thomas Massey a crackpot, and that is generous. He is Northern Kentucky's representative, normally marches to the beat of his own drum, one that is WAY out there.

    His follow up tweet is a great example of the terrible logic of using an unfounded assertion as evidence to back up a thesis.

    I saw the clip with Dr Gupta where they talked about CNN and Gupta admitted that they shouldn't have spun it that way. He showed Gupta the bottle with the Dr's name on it who prescribed it

    It wasn't long ago that we were being told these vaccines only lasted 8-9 months and boosters would be needed. Now we're hearing that that's not the case:

    Even the White House was convinced boosters were needed. Follow the bouncing ball on this one

    So about doctors prescribing ivermectin for Covid...

    https://www.thedailybeast.com/physic...-push?ref=home

    A Washington State physician’s assistant who mounted a “public campaign touting the use of ivermectin” for treating COVID, allegedly bullying hospital staffers to prescribe the unproven drug, had his license suspended by the state medical commission.

    Re: Covid-19, Part XV - Mr. Ed can't find his medicine...

    This study suggests that C19 cases are not lower in highly vaccinated areas than less vaccinated:

    Increases in COVID-19 are unrelated to levels of vaccination across 68 countries and 2947 counties in the United States

    At the country-level, there appears to be no discernable relationship between percentage of population fully vaccinated and new COVID-19 cases in the last 7 days (Fig. 1). In fact, the trend line suggests a marginally positive association such that countries with higher percentage of population fully vaccinated have higher COVID-19 cases per 1 million people. Notably, Israel with over 60% of their population fully vaccinated had the highest COVID-19 cases per 1 million people in the last 7 days. The lack of a meaningful association between percentage population fully vaccinated and new COVID-19 cases is further exemplified, for instance, by comparison of Iceland and Portugal. Both countries have over 75% of their population fully vaccinated and have more COVID-19 cases per 1 million people than countries such as Vietnam and South Africa that have around 10% of their population fully vaccinated.

    Across the US counties too, the median new COVID-19 cases per 100,000 people in the last 7 days is largely similar across the categories of percent population fully vaccinated (Fig. 2). Notably there is also substantial county variation in new COVID-19 cases within categories of percentage population fully vaccinated. There also appears to be no significant signaling of COVID-19 cases decreasing with higher percentages of population fully vaccinated (Fig. 3).
    In regards to some that post here on RZ, I agree with this from the study:

    In summary, even as efforts should be made to encourage populations to get vaccinated it should be done so with humility and respect. Stigmatizing populations can do more harm than good.
    Examples of stigmatizing might be things such as using terms like hillbilly or redneck to refer to those who choose not to get vaxxed. I'd go a step farther and include inflammatory rhetoric like horse paste as well. This sort of thing does nothing to help the vaccination cause. Furthermore this study brings into question whether it's really primarily the unvaccinated spreading this.

    I'm a believer in presenting all sides of an issue. With that in mind, I'll save you all the trouble. Here's a countering view from a far left site:

    They're talking about official governmental efforts, I am not the government, so I'll continue talking about people eating horse paste as long as they keep eating the apple flavored paste.

    Would you eat the horse paste? If prescribed by a licensed vet, etc.

    That study is nonsense but I don't have the energy to debunk it.

    And lets call 'em what they are - snowflakes.

    If someone eats the horse paste, prescribed by a vet, then you're 100% accurate. But if it's Joe Rogan, taking it in pill form and prescribed by a physician, then it's incorrect and inflammatory to call it horse paste/dewormer
