“Last night” I took some loved ones to go see Jimmy Dore.

Somewhat unexpectedly, a lot of his act focused on the medical uses, and politics of, a drug called Ivermectin.

I’m writing this almost three weeks later, but here’s an interview on the subject that might be of interest to you.

Ivermectin: An Honest Look (The Good, Bad, & Ugly)

I’ll doubtless have a number of posts on the subject as I catch up from the early part of the holiday season, whether I want to or not. But in the meantime, here are a couple of points, Following the Science and all, to keep in mind on the stupid public debate.

1) Even if you’re double-jabbed, as I am, you can still get Covid, and this is going to be more and more true as the virus mutates past Delta, and on to Lambda and Mu.

2) Even if you’re double-jabbed, you can still shed the virus to others. Some studies even say that you’re more lethal if you’re vaccinated.

3) So please keep wearing your fucking masks, even if almost no one else is.

4) Ivermectin has nothing to do with preventing you from getting the virus. It’s a possible treatment for the worst symptoms. It’s unproven to be effective for that purpose, but studies are underway, and there is plenty of circumstantial and real-world evidence that it might help, and can’t hurt, if taken as prescribed by a doctor. A human doctor for humans. As it has been to millions of people over a time span so long that it’s no longer under patent. And therefore very cheap.

5) And therefore completely uninteresting for capitalists, and the corporate media you inject into your bodies and minds every day.

6) Therefore. If you parrot the words of that corporate media on the subject, you’re not sounding smart, you’re just sounding brainwashed. Specifically, every time you say “horse paste” or “horse dewormer”, you sound like a tool. And god kills a socialist kitten.

Hope this helps.
