I think she is a bit misinformed on the dosage of ivermectin and she should triple it.

And, of course, Ivermectin, the horse de-wormer that has been touted as a miracle drug for COVID-19 in conservative circles.

So she drove ‘100s of miles to serve Alaska’ all the while upholding her ‘right’ to infect the entire legislature? Because of that pesky ‘unconstitutional’ airline? How stupid can a person be? I mean really…or is just ‘free advertising’? ‘ELECT ME and I’ll fight for you with every conspiracy theory I can find!’…

I would like to say that I hope this terrible woman croaks to serve as an example to all anti-vaxxers and fellow travelers. But in reality I want the crazies to follow her example and get sick as well.

So, she received a Rx for Ivermectin or is she taking the animal version? The article makes it seem likes she’s taking the animal version.

We can probably discount half the prominent R’s who say they’re taking Ivermectin too, and instead they’re getting legit medical treatment if they actually have the virus. So much of this is political performance art. I’m not believing much of this except for the obituaries.

Oh and some similar people were “doing their own research” and ended up orphaning their five kids. And dying in regret for not having taken the damn vaccine. Oops.

Why do they have ivermectin in Alaska? Do polar bears need deworming?

I thought millions of people around the world take Ivermectin? Isn’t it on the WHO list of essential medicines?
