On Ivermectin (and Moderation)

Ivermectin comes in many forms. There are forms that are prescribed for people for dealing with parasites. If you don't want to take a fully-approvedvaccine for reasons (that are mostly basicly stupid) and yet you want to take a drug, off-label, under a doctor's supervision, that's your right. I think you're being foolish, but knock yourself out.

But if you're not getting an approved vaccine and when you get sick, you're going to the local feed store and buying the livestock forms of Ivermectin and taking it because of things you heard on Trumpist media or on Facebook, then you are a four-starred idiot. And I reserve the right to make as much fun of you as suits me.

We have, in this country, bred a real virulent strain of imbeciles. They won't wear seat belts because some gummint agency recommends them. Fluoridation ia a commie plot. They won't take a vaccine to keep them from dying during a pandemic because of the gummint. We are indeed lucky that most of these clowns weren't yet alive when the government was working to eradicate polio and smallpox.

It's a mixture of childishness and a complete lack of comprehension of civic duty. People aren't being told to adhere to rationing or to grow a vegetable garden. They're not being asked to engage in scrap metal or paper drives. But wear a mask when out in public? That's fucking tyranny to those jerkoffs. Maybe we ought to bring back the draft so that people start relearning that citizenship has duties, not just "mu rights".

On moderation: It's amazing that there are still wastes-of-oxygen who keep trying to post hateful or screed-filled comments and who disregard the warnings that all comments must be approved before they appear. The spammers also ignore that warning, but they are a particular breed of greed-driven crazy.
