Importantly, every practicing doctor absolutely knew the truth about Ivermectin. Efficacy aside, they knew it wasn’t dangerous or meant solely for animals.

With the exception of an extremely small group of good and honorable physicians, they all went along with this. Unforgivable behavior that destroyed their credibility.

Bourla is a vet who turned billions into his sheep. Yet we were attacked for warning them about the wolves. Pets receive better healthcare than most humans.

How dare you deny my true species!? I self-identify as a gigachad warhorse, waiting for my modern-day Alexander the Great to mount me as he leads armies to victory, and I reserve the right to eat oats and hay, drink water, neigh in public, and take as much Ivermectin as I need to affirm my chosen identity! How dare you deny me my species-affirming care!?

Excellent analysis, bad cat, and you're right - it was intentional and there will be no accountability. Not under this administration and probably not under any following. Grand scams are like that.

Seriously, y'all? Trying to sound like a southern black woman? What I wonder is how many people fell for this, to me, obvious gambit. Apparently enough. On a side note, Ivermectin was selling in the US for upwards of $17 a dose, but I was getting it from a vet for my rescue dog at $0.11 a dose. Hmmmm...power, money, more money, and ultimately, control.

If anyone cares, Tennessee allows you to purchase the drug without a prescription.

I admit that I have a package of horse ivermectin (I know the dosage adjustment) which I KNEW I would not be willing to use, but I also know from my adventures in the medical underground that getting vet drugs is one way we are able to work around the gatekeepers. I got swept up in the anxiety of stockpiling random crap.

I’m a homeopath. If you read that, you have one of four reactions-1) “that’s cool, is that like herbs and stuff?” 2) “wow, what a fascinating and amazing modality-it sound whack but my SIL was completely cured of PCOS by a homeopath so it’s gotta be something” or 3) “that’s bs voodoo nonsense and the only reason anyone buys it is because the medical industry is so corrupt” (which means you think I’m a fraud at worst and delusional at best, but I don’t take that personally:) 4) “nice. Where can I book?” (For that last one, go to my substack and I’ll tell you-it’s free!)

But why? No one says this about chiropractic or TCM? Well, it *does* come down to cronyist interference, in a couple of ways. One is the famous Flexner Report. But what this did, by marginalizing homeopaths, was it sent them into an echo chamber; shunted out of “respectable” company, they no longer faced the pressure of testing and challenging assumptions and results. I have no need to convince bigots like Paul Offit of anything, but *I* need to find the arguments and research credible (and I do, but they have to line up with real world experience, and they do that, too, both in the sense that it works, AND that it’s not some miraculous cure for everything in everyone.)

When the pharma-medico-regulatory complex conspires to manipulate the information and opportunities, the market is not able to use, and vet, what’s available. We all lose out on finding what, and whom, can help us heal.

Oh, homeopathy works the same on horses, though. So take that, FDA.

I want to see that limpdick Jimmy Kimmel on his knees admitting he lied and begging for forgiveness on prime time TV, wearing a MAGA hat. And videos of this posted on every one of his social media accounts.

"Edifices of trust constructed multiple generations ago, and handed down with joy and pride, have been inherited by inhabitants of an entirely different world, in which the operational ‘ethic’ is to bleed everything for instant profit and to regard human beings as a superfluous irritant, unless they are immediately useful, which mostly they are not."

The Truth has a tendency to come out once The Lie has safely passed it expiration date. That way, those in authority can maintain this facade that it "always told the truth." And they actually might... eventually.

The people that comprise our governments have joined a club that mandates they collectively hate us peasants. They seek to persecute us and create misery for us.

"That's up 636.7% from two days prior."

So basically an Influencer. Just like The Kardashians.

Cool.

Until heads start rolling, the war will not be coming to a close. The murderers must pay. They are criminals, not true regulators -- come on y'all!!!

I am getting so depressed about how many lies and how much corruption has been exposed over the past 4 years yet there have been virtually no consequences. Media and governments keep on going with more of the same and the masses in Canada continue to be brainwashed and clueless. It really does seem hopeless.

Slap on the wrist with no meaningful remedy. Damage was done, and they got their win. MRNA vax from now on. We are still the big losers.
