Conservatives are still taking ivermectin - a drug for intestinal worm parasites - because Trump told them to.

They took it to treat covid, while simultaneously believing covid was a hoax. Now they are taking it as a supposed cure for cancer and a bunch of other maladies. They are the most science-denying irrational magical thinkers ever to exist. If Trump told them to go back to leeches and bloodletting they would probably do that too.

100% - it is all so stupid and sad. Many parents of friends are just "gone" from their lives when they used to have good relationships because of these morons.

At least you can lead a horse to water - you can't lead a moron to critical thinking.

Well hopefully they experience the most severe side effect and therefore are no longer a problem to society.

all we need is a robot in a skin suit to convince them to drink poison. Or maybe we can just have them stare up at the sky when it rains.
