Everyone should go back and look at your OP. It's FULL ON misinformation, just from the "other side" of this thing, (
and it's SO silly that folks have allowed themselves to be manipulated into "vaccinated" versus "unvaccinated" camps resulting in stupid, unproductive partisan type pissing matches, at a time where we should all be working together to resolve and get through this pandemic).
- You started off posting a tweet with a picture of a horse, furthering the silly misimpression/lie, that it is primarily a veterinary medicine used for horses and cows, NOT humans, when in reality, it's used for humans, and won it's discoveries a Nobel prize. It's been FDA approved forever, and touted as a "miracle drug".
- Then you continue the hit job and misinformation by saying "When HCQ failed to work", and positioning it clearly as a tool of the "unvaccinated". Those enemies of ours who are all quacks and anti-science types.
- The whole bit with "tele medics" who believe that having sex with demons etc., essentially using a broad brush to paint an entire classification of doctors, with the opinion of a single doctor from Africa, where beliefs, and other experiences are drastically different from ours. The entire group of doctors who'd prescribe it, do NOT deserve to be painted with the comments of a single doctor who advocated with HCQ, (which likely was never properly studied or published accurately, as any drug deemed to be effective would have interfered with, or eliminated the approval of an EUA altogether, (so, that would have meant no mRNA vaccines).
- You then post another super petty, unrelated incident of a single doctor associated with a group, as a cheap attempt to discredit any doctor that is a member of the group, and/or any doctor who'd prescribe an alternative to the vaccines, (e.g. HCQ, Ivermectin et. al.).
I'm NOT touting it as a cure for COVID, or even advocating that people use it, but it's black hole stupid for use to not at least give it an honest evaluation if many other doctors around the world where it's commonly prescribed, noticed that those who were taking it, seemed to fare better.
Why aren't relatively intelligent and informed people able to see that it's not necessarily a mutually exclusive, either or proposition where it's the vaccine OR some other tool/weapon/drug like Ivermectin that could help? It's important for us to be honest, operate with full disclosure, and a HUGE part of that is understanding that misinformation that is pro-vaccine is still misinformation. It's all part of a HUGE bullying effort involving massive peer pressure and rather extreme censorship.
We are in a climate now that's so cocked, spun and so far from the truth, that most only consider anti-vaccine misinformation, as misinformation and completely fail to recognize that pro-vaccine propaganda and misinformation is just as bad, (
not to mention how super hypocritical it is to CRYYYYY to high heaven about misinformation, while bullying, deleting and canceling anti-vaccine misinformation, all the while pumping loads of steaming pro-vaccine misinformation). I do tip my hat to you sir, for coming back and answering like a man/stand-up guy. That's far better than many who are out here doing dirt, but then run and hide when they have been CLEARLY proven to be dead wrong about something they were pumping for months.
Lastly, I have empathy for those struggling with their decisions, because it's absolutely NOT a no-brainer to take a new vaccine that works the way this one does, without us having ANY DATA whatsoever for any life cycle phase, except the immediate, short-term. You cannot do real science without data, so we should be honest and qualify our information as such. It's new, we don't have usage data for the mid-term and long-term and therefore, it represents a HE-UUuuuge gamble for mankind to put all of our eggs in one basket and administer this to the majority of humanity, all at the same time. That's not solid science, and does not qualify as solid, common sense.
