One Tweet Description Of How Bad the Anti-Vaxxers Have Gotten To Make the Pandemic Worse

Yes, it's gotten this bad:

 


"Sir, I'm gonna need to see your driver's license and an equestrian certificate from Secretariat Junior over there before I sell you this highly toxic horse medication to you."

I can remember when common over-the-counter drugs had to get moved behind the pharmacist's counter because those drugs could be used to make meth. Now we're worried about horse deworming meds that CLEARLY STATE THEY ARE NOT MEANT FOR HUMANS.

All because some con artist out there posted something on social media that this Ivermectin stuff is an "alternative" to the dreaded mRNA vaccines. And if it's not this dewormer stuff, it'll be something else promoted as a quick solution cure, and then something else, and then something after that, everything EXCEPT the vaccines that work all because the Contrarian nature of the Far Right mindset can NEVER accept something the "libs" are pushing as "good".

Gods. Our species IS going to die out from partisan stupidity.

It's an under reported story that the right is so heavily invested in the sales of various forms of snake oil. These grifts are their stock and trade. See also: Gingrich, Newton Leroy and Jones, Alexander Emerick.
