    Guy might have worms or parasites. There were some studies that showed a weak correlation between ivermectin and better COVID-19 outcomes, but it turns out that only studies from third world countries showed even that weak effect, and yeah if you get rid of other problems like parasites, the body can fight off COVID-19 better.

    Article talking about the studies, and HN comments

      Or maybe it’s totally made up bullshit?

      All it’s missing is “and then everyone clapped” at the end.

        Oh totally that’s the more likely explanation. My point is that even steelmanning the argument, it’s still wrong.

    Of the two famous horse drugs, why on earth did people gravitate towards ivermectin and not ketamine? Truly, we live in a dork world

    Forget the ivermectin. Honey and garlic sounds like it might be kinda good. Ever try hot honey on, say, pizza? Yeah.

      Yeah was gonna say, honey and garlic is probably a pretty good naturopathic concoction. Friend of mine used to brew a chilli tea for colds, sounds like garlic honey would work well with it

      I’ll pass on the ivermectin though

    There are people on nextdoor that constantly ask where they can source ivermectin, and raw milk has been popping up lately too. I just don’t get it.

        This basically sums up a lot of right-wing BS. They want the drama and excitement of plain-truth facts being incorrect in the face of exciting convoluted conspiracy theories that nobody can prove.
