I get a certain evil pleasure out of knowing all those raging conspiracy theorist kiddies who always comment on my threads about how COVID is just the flu and other nonsense and then rage quit calling me a sheep are now out there taking livestock medication and dying (or getting very sick).

But yyyyeeeeaaaaa the vaccine is the real risk ::rolls eyes::

@funny

@freemo @funny

what is "livestock medication" and can you link me the source to people dying from it?

@mk

People are taking ivermectin (might have spelled that wrong). Some are getting it through doctors but since doctors wont prescribe it and supplies ran out many have resorted to getting the version for cows and taking that. Even Milo apparently injected some.

I'm actually really surprised you havent heard about it, its a big thing and apparently unnervingly common.

Just do a google search, if you still cant find it I can dig them up for you.

"I get a certain evil pleasure out of knowing all those raging conspiracy theorist kiddies"

do you think that people taking ivermectin are raging conspiracy theorist kiddies?

@mk

Inference goes the other way around.. many raging conspiracy theorist kiddies are self injecting with Ivermectin. Not everyone on Ivermectin is a racing conspiracy theory kiddy though.

@funny

@freemo @funny

do you think ivermectin works in preventing sars-cov2 and/or treating covid-19?

Follow

@mk

It has some positive effect yes, sadly its theraputic index appears rather low and the studies on it are still a bit too preliminary to make really hard assertions. But generally, yes, it appears to have some effectiveness and could probably be leveraged to positive effect in some situations.

@freemo @funny

so you get "certain evil pleasure", because some conspiracy theorits are taking a drug that actually works against covid?

@mk

No, largely because these are the same people who like to jump in threads and call people nigers because they think its fun.. that is the reason it gives me pleasure to see these cocksure morons poisoning themselves.

@funny

@freemo @funny

can you link me why you think that taking ivermectin is poisining people?

@mk Just do a google search, there are tons of news stories of people who have. In fact Milo himself recently posted his own account where he was quite sick for a few days. He would be one of the prime examples among a sea of similar stories.

@freemo

i can't do my own google search on that because of point 5.

If you make certain statements than you should be able to tell me why you think that.

@mk I already told you why I thought that, no your falacy is not applicable here.

Now if you go off and say you cant find the case of milo poisoning himself or any other, then id be happy to help do the search for you. But no im under no obligation to even prove my point if i dont feel like it, just as you are under no obligation to believe me as a result.

Frankly, though, you really have to be living under a rock not to have heard about it. Its been all over my feed the last 24 hours and int he news.

@freemo

"But no im under no obligation to even prove my point if i dont feel like it"

your statement is true ! you don't have to do anything, but if you want people to believe what you're saying and build some good reputation, you better have some evidence for your claims ;-)

@mk Certainly true... but thats just it, I really care very little about my reputation, least of all to random strangers.

What energy I do put in to my reputation would be directly mostly at people I have some motivation to invest that time into. Since you've been respectful that does happen to include you, but it certainly doesnt include every stranger who crosses my path.

@freemo

btw i don't know who milo is.

also i'm on a very low internet connection, because apperently it takes multiple month to order good internet in germany.

@mk Milo Yinnapolis or however you spell his name. He is a famous right-wing guy who does talks all the time.

I attached the posts from his feed

@freemo

so he has covid-19 and is treating himself with ivermectin?

these symthoms sound a lot like regular covid-19 symthoms to me.

why do you think they come from the ivermectin injection?

@freemo

These are recorded covid-19 symptoms from the "Epidemiological profile on SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19" done by the Robert Koch Institute in germany.

Cough 42%
Fever 26%
Runny nose 31%
Disorders of the sense of smell and / or taste 19%
Pneumonia 1.0%

Other symptoms:
- Sore throat
- shortness of breath
- headache
- body aches
- loss of appetite
- weight loss
- nausea
- abdominal pain
- vomiting
- diarrhea
- conjunctivitis
- rash
- lymph
- node
- swelling
- apathy
- somnolence

@freemo @mk @funny how do you know they are the same people? i would be careful about making assumptions, especially when you are almost wishing sickness on people based on that assumption

@Hyolobrika

The ones who arent the same arent the ones whom it gives me pleasure then. Luckily every person I have seen so far doing it are people I have previously seen act as described. IF and when one comes along my feed who is not of that group then I will not derive pleasure from that person's sickness.

@funny @mk

@freemo @Hyolobrika @funny

"Luckily every person I have seen so far doing it are people I have previously seen act as described."

Do you know Pierre Kory, M.D., Associate Professor of Medicine at St. Luke's Aurora Medical Center?

He's not only taking Ivermectin himself, he's also treating his ICU patients with it.

Pierre Kory's testimony during the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing on "Early Outpatient Treatment" (December 2020)

@mk

I said earlier, though perhaps not to you, that Ivermectin has a place in treatment by a doctor. Particularly using it on patients int he ICU makes a lot of sense. A very low dose on a doctor who is extremely high risk in addition to taking the vaccine might also be a reasonable usecase.

@Hyolobrika @funny

@Hyolobrika @funny @freemo

sorry. my superfast isdn connection (fuck you german government) didn't allow me to check the source in advance xD

i'm trying to find a mirror of that video.

@mk be careful, @freemo will proceed to explain how that quote doesn't mean what you're trying to imply and will gaslight you into saying you're the dishonest one

@hakui

it was fair game all the way.

no ad homs
no gaslighting
no gishgalloping
no pivotting

even though i don't like his position, it was nice talking to him.
