The first paragraph makes it sound like they were afraid because their roommate is a dumbass taking ivermectin for covid, then the second paragraph hits.
Some real, “They had us in he first half” energy.
There’s a strong chance this person is a Young Living Hun. They push pseudoscience and are based on religion.
I remember them! They had an essential oil for Ebola back in the day.
Any relation to Attila the Hun?
Apparently he had a lot of illegitimate children as a result of his raids, so there’s a possibility.
Thieves smells fantastic, but that’s pretty much all it does. If you just want a way to refresh your kitchen after cooking a smelly dish, then by all means go ahead and wipe down your counters with it. But since it’s directly attached to a bunch of hyper-religious pseudoscience nutjobs who are attempting to set society back several decades, it’s difficult to recommend for anything beyond “I mean I guess it smells good” purposes.
They’ll VERY likely be fine, and would be fine if they did nothing at all instead of ineffective or even harmful “alternative remedies”. The reason COVID is such a bitch is that everyone gets it, so even if deaths are under a single percent of people infected that’s millions of deaths. Add in all the seriously affected people who survive but need expensive/labor-intensive/lengthy medical care and you can see why it’s a big deal.
These folks can get away with anecdotes about their horseshit saving them because COVID was unlikely to kill most of them anyways. They are, however, more likely to be more seriously ill for a longer period of time with worse “long COVID” symptoms. “They found initially and during recovery from symptomatic COVID-19, fully vaccinated participants had lower concentrations of inflammatory markers than unvaccinated participants, suggesting vaccination is associated with short-term and long-term reduction in inflammation, which could in part, explain the reduced disease severity, mortality and risk of long COVID in vaccinated individuals.”
Vaccination is at least as much about shorter, less severe illness with less likelihood of long-term effects for survivors as it is about preventing death. So the Ivermectin user will probably survive (and thus will likely claim they never needed the vaccine), but they and the roommate will have a harder time of it than they would have otherwise both during and after infection.
What really gets me is these people refuse to take the vaccines because they don’t know what’s in them, or because it has chemicals, or because they don’t trust doctors/scientists/the government, yet they will take Ivermectin and bleach…
I’ve never had it. Nor have my wife and son. But my daughter got it and isolated for two weeks with my wife. We’re all vaxed.
I got you covered. Caught it three bloody times already.
Damn. I hope your long term symptoms are minimal.
First two times? Four months of depression. It suuucked. I was bracing for another round when I caught it for the third time, but luckily that time it was without long term complication, aside from being somewhat weak for a while.
Far out. Here’s hoping that it never happens again!
All this ‘powerful medicine’ makes me think someone has no faith in the power of their invisible friend.

Wtf
Ah nature working as intended and soon we will be free of such idiots
Unfortunately probably not. The same lack of self awareness that makes them say stupid shit makes them breed like rabbits as well.
Doesn’t matter the kids may turn out better .
Under these parents?
Yes i do think parental trauma causes kids to turn out better than them or atleast oppose the ethics and morals of their parents . But it is 50/50 tho there will always be a kid who turned out better than his father/mother and one who really leached of their behavior and became a bigger asshole . It all depends on the kind of trauma which i am not gonna dwell into as it may get NSFW.
I turned out better than my abusive parents but not because they were abusive. I would be a better person without them. And “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” is untrue and a horrific message.
Not at all i what i was implying ifcourse good parents make better kids just saying a bad parent may not necesaarily make a bad kid . For eg would you say you are better or worse than them ?
A ton better than them; but I would be even better if it weren’t for them ^^
which is profoundly ironic considering that this is the exact stuff you hear from these conservatives about immigrants
they should look themselves in the mirror, except i suspect they’d just freak out at the stranger that showed up in their house…
Vitamin C and Zinc are actually good for your immune system.
Vitamin C or Zinc helping with covid is just as much pseudoscience as invermiacin helping with covid.
Technically both can help but the situation where they do will almost never apply in developed countries. A severe parasite infection will make it harder for your body to fight off covid so invermectin could help there by getting rid of the parasites. But most people aren’t walking around riddled with parasites let alone to the point where it starts impacting their immune system.
Likewise if you are deficient in zinc or vitamin C it will harm your immune system and in that case they could help with covid. But most people in developed countries get plenty of both from their diet. You get vitamin C from far more than citrus, it’s also in potatoes, onions, tomatoes, broccoli, peppers, and many non citrus fruits. It’s also in a lot of artificial drinks. Likewise zinc it plentiful in meat, dairy, and grains especially in processed grain foods like cereals which tend to be fortified with it. Consuming excess of either vitamin just makes you pee the excess out. If your diet is bad enough that you aren’t getting enough zinc or vitamin C then odds are you’re going to notice before those two become too deficient anyways because you’re going to wind up with something like an iron or magnesium deficiency which are both far more common and pretty noticable.
Wow, great write up. Thank you for your contribution to the forum.
Yeah but you gotta be careful where you get your vitamins and minerals, because a lot of supplements don’t give them in a form your body can even use.
Heck, Ivermectin is good for you… if you have parasites. Does nothing for Covid tho.
Do you use a special keyboard with enlarged keys or just type carefully with those hooves?
Ivermectin is a general antiparasitic drug used in dogs, horses, sheep, cows, reptiles, and humans. It’s on the WHO’s list of essential medicines, and it was the 341th most commonly prescribed medication in the US. We use it for lice, scabies, whipworm, etc.
These people use horse paste because it’s available off the shelf at Tractor Supply, whereas to get ivermectin for humans requires a prescription from a doctor. Which they’re not gonna get, because it doesn’t work for covid.
And they shouldn’t get it, because we don’t want to overuse it and end up with ivermectin resistant parasites. Hell, I wouldn’t be opposed to ivermectin for horses requiring a vet prescription and doing fecal egg counts so we don’t end up with resistant strongloides.
Nope. They have blind faith and that’s a totally different mental illness.
I…don’t even understand what they wrote, fuck I’m old :(
So long as they get results, I don’t mind.
