In 2022, NH #Republicans tried to pass a bill allowing #pharmacists to #dispense #Ivermectin over the counter as a cure for COVID.

I remember being surprised when that chipmunk #Sununu vetoed it.

These delusional #GOP crackheads are trying again, and since they hold majorities in all NH branches it will likely pass.

That fool #Ayotte serving as governor now will probably sign it, too.

You can forget about marijuana reform.

It's horse paste for #Republican horse asses.

Psych mini-essay🧵:

Interest in the anti-parasitic drug #Ivermectin & #misinformation about it are rising. This article discusses its popularity on the right, but the underlying reasons for that popularity are, IMO, universal.

"weaponized folk remedy": https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1907244390155780422.html

> The goal isn’t to convince you #ivermectin works.
> The goal is to convince you nothing else does.
> The strategy is demoralization.
> Fighting pandemics now requires counter-disinformation strategy.

Why would anyone cares if people are ignorant enough to take a toxic drug that doesn't work in treating their ailments?

And I think they should down a dose of Ivermectin with both a warm glass of raw milk and a glass of lead-laden water. Rinse and repeat until they get truly sick.

But NYT leaves out a frequently left out point. Ivermectin and covid is *not* just random. There *is* a basis: Parasites can be a comorbidity for covid, in which case treating the parasite infection does help covid survival. But only if there is a parasite infection.

Not knowing this ignorant. On both sides.

#ivermectin #pseudoscience

#Ivermectin was found to help #COVID patients...

patients with parasites

#Ignorance spread "the cure" without the whole picture

Likewise, #VitaminA was found to help #Measles patients...

patients with vitamin A deficiency

And so, ignorance once again:

"West #Texas children treated for vitamin A toxicity as #medical #disinformation spreads alongside measles outbreak"

People think they know better than #scientists and #doctors, and harm themselves and their children
