    It doesn’t do people’s argument credit when they call ivermectin a horse dewormer. Yes, it can be used for that but it’s a broad spectrum drug used for lots of things in humans and animals. Does it do what the alt right says? Probably not. But you look almost as dumb as they do when you call a WHO essential medicine horse dewormer.

      Everytime I hear it introduced as “horse dewormer”. The bias is already made clear.

      While Mel Gibson is clearly off his rocker in that Ivermectin can’t do jack shit against cancer… So is OP for acting like it’s not safe for human consumption. It’s safe for consumption even at 10x a “normal” dosage (with all the Covid-19 studies showing that while more or less ineffective for COVID, not at all harmful otherwise at up to 3000μg/kg… or 15x a typical dosage http://ssrn.com/abstract=3714649).

      IVM has been used safely in 3.7 billion doses worldwide since 1987

      It’s 100% safe… and boatloads of it have been given to humans for longer than most people arguing about this shit have been alive.

      TL;DR… While probably useless for anything that people recently attribute to it… It’s safe for consumption as a general rule.

        Some episodes are good. Dave from megadeth for example.

        The problem with the podcast is Joe agrees with everyone.

        Yep. I have a friend who is very much on the left, but he’s also really naïve, so he doesn’t see the problem with listening to Rogan.

    I wish I knew how to get these motherfuckers to care about anything as much as they care about ivermectin.

      Fwiw, certain trained professionals who are licensed to practice recommend ivermectin in certain situations.

      Methyl blue I heard one talking about how it’s interesting and they are evaluating it.

      The ones I know are rabid leftists, who hate Trump, fwiw

        about how it’s interesting and they are evaluating it.

        We’ve been using it for over a century in microscopy. You can find a few flasks in your local high school biology lab. We know exactly what it is, how it interacts with cells, what happens when you ingest it or let it drop in your hands or heat it and anything you could imagine.

        It’s not “interesting” and nobody is “evaluating it” unless you’re deeply interested in using it in an arts and crafts class.

        I read an article about these blue skinned people in the mountains that were given menthol blue to get rid of the blue skin color. I guess it can be ingested safely, but unless you have that genetic condition not sure what it does for you.

    It is wild how they just jump from one thing to other mentioning things at random. “I know this guy who can point his finger at you and you will feel it, because you know… how did they build the pyramids?? This thing is like quantum physics”.
    Is this the effects of too much ivermectin?

    What’s up with Mel? Does he have Parkinson’s or something similar? Or is he just strung out on cocaine? He was insanely, constantly twitchy the whole interview.

    Well at least methylene blue is harmless. I used to put it in my coworker’s coffee to turn their piss blue.

    These people treat knowable medical information the way that people a decade or so ago used to treat stories about ghosts or being abducted by aliens.

      my uncle survived WW2 and lived to be 102 while wearing a uranium glass butt plug the whole time.

      dude never shit solid a day in his life.

      docs said he might have lived longer if not for the colon cancer.

    I’m just waiting for Rogan to say DMT stops cancer and frankly I’m surprised it hasn’t happened yet
