Our modern life is based on a lot of higher math concepts that most people haven't a clue about. As you noted, and JFK also did years ago, repeating what you hear is a lazy, easy way to try to sound smart. The fact that trials were crap, that the time factor was ignored for a reasonable vaccine development means nothing to those who have never used an x/y graph

Innumeracy is rampant, and the idiots are proud of it too. For example, one of the CDC's main arguments against veterinarian Ivermectin products is that people might overdose on it.

Sadly, they have a point, since most can't do the 5th grade math to figure it out.

What happens if they overdose tho? Will it kill a person? If not, or not likelt, then let's ban all prescription meds because most of them will kill people on overdose without even batting an eye. In fact, lets ban bigpharma since their products kill at ten to a hundred times the rate of guns

Making it available OTC and putting dosing instructions right on the side of the box like Tylenol or Advil would solve that problem. But it's clear they don't want ivermectin to appear safe even though, if you go to the NIH's own treatment guidelines site, they can't find a way to make it appear dangerous beyond linking to a warning about not using veterinary ivermectin. Huh. Wonder why people are doing that.

Answer to facetious questionтАФGatesтАЩs malaria vaxx is about to launch. Gotta discredit the usual treatment. I think they were hoping to ban ivermectin altogether.
