just told that yesterday to my dad in Europe. That story did not even make it across the ocean. Belgium has never heard of either med that could have saved people.

I looked it up more than a year ago and neither was available there, otherwise I would have ordered it and send to them.

My sister in Ireland who worked with horses sent me back in the day an insulting text laughing her arse off saying she had put gallons of horse paste up horses arses. And how stupid people were—insinuating me. She had No idea what she was yapping about but what her radio (she doesn’t have a tv.) told her and her precious Guardian newspaper paper. She still buys it all. Bless her but sometimes I’m glad she is there and not here in USA.

The joke's on her, imho - we in the U.S. put it in our horses' *mouths.*

I know. But that’s what she said. Maybe a different preparation there. . I turned her off for awhile after that. But then she is often on morphine or god knows what else for back pain. She has changed considerably.

i ordered the pill form but have not had to use it so far. My dog takes it. I just open the capsule and put the powder in her food.

That’s hilarious, it’s like saying don’t take Prozac because dogs can take it 🙄 I want to start calling that “dog antidepressant” like they call ivermectin “horse dewormer.” Does she think the people in Africa who take it are all idiots too, then? Racist 😛

Let's not miss the fact that these folks would happily take paxlovid, which is a protease inhibitor...just like IVM! Although, IVM does more like binding with spike proteins and prevents hemaglutination too.

I have the same antibiotics I have taken for myself in my cabinet that were for my cats. Like I said—years of painkillers messed with her brain. She used to man the protest barricades in Dublin back in the 80’s. Gave the finger to government, wrote letters to the editor. But the Covid scam did something to her—like millions of others. I quit saying anything but cross my fingers she doesn’t become a statistic of the current horror.

Ireland has disgraced itself -- and I'm a citizen.

its unfathomable what these governments have done to their own people. I live in NJ USA and the NJ state gov is one of the most venal corrupt groups. Im a MD with over 20 years of experience. I have a group of people that think like we do all docs, scientists and nurses and we all tried to meet the NJ state health commissioner and she refused repeatedly

You and I have exchanged thoughts before. As a result, I think you know what I think about what those in the crime syndicate have done -- that they could not have done it without the cooperation of the people. In the absence of indignation over the trampling of basic human rights and the willingness to stand up in righteous anger, the freaks and losers in government get away with their crimes. Over and over and over again.

Ireland is not alone in that.

That fact doesn't make me feel any better.

Half of the human race has. Devastating. They joined "The Good Germans".

I bet she'd be willing to take Molnupiravir in a sec.

Never mind that Molnupiravir is horse medicine.

Ok so now the Babbit mom story has another side to it. It’s being hashed out on Twatter right now. 🤷‍♀️

Lucky to be in Sweden! I know it has its problems, but my daughter fell in love with it when she lived there, first in Angelholm for high school exchange, and then Lund when she was in Uni. We visited a few times, and I really loved it. Of course I am slightly biased since my great grandfather came from Tvaaker near Varberg to the US in 1901. :)

Michele I agree, why all these folks whose culture is not to go to the doctor unless absolutely necessary would jump on the vaccine bandwagon! I still talk to friends there and they thought I was very strange not to get the shots. 🤷🏻‍♀️
