The #Ivermectin Grift: www.goodmorningamerica.com/amp/news/sto ... via @kffhealthnews.org Me: " ... ivermectin became an 'ideological flag.' "This is really about profit. This is about political identity. This is about creating distrust in the existing biomedical community. This is about money."

I bet dollars to donuts that the Republicans who first started this idiocy about horse paste during COVID owns tons of stock in the companies making Ivermectin and will now be cashing in even more.

It's Tennessee. Consider the source.

U.S. Current Trend: Bills Provide Immunity to Drivers Who Hit Protesters
Published: September 2021

In May 2021, local activist Justin Jones gave impassioned testimony before the Tennessee legislature. He described how "already you have cars at every protest revving their engines. . . . This bill is a license to hunt and a license to kill." The proposed bill, Tennessee's HB 513, would provide both civil and criminal immunity for drivers if they hit protesters with their vehicle while exercising "due care," even if the protester was only blocking the sidewalk.

FTA:

>>The rhetorical and symbolic value of driver liability bills can be seen in the response on social media when they are introduced. Users, including members of law enforcement, circulate jokes, memes, and slogans about hitting protesters with vehicles. A Sheriff's Deputy in Florida posted a meme depicting a semitruck smeared with blood with the caption "DROVE THROUGH ARIZONA/DIDN'T SEE ANY PROTESTERS." Longtime Seattle detective Mike Brown was formally fired in February 2021 after it came to light that he had made multiple social media posts mocking and endorsing violence against racial justice protesters. Among the posts was a meme depicting a vehicle striking a person with the words "ALL LIVES SPLATTER" that Brown posted on the same day that two protesters were hit, one fatally, on Interstate 5 in Seattle.

I guess DOGE firing the department that worked on screw worm prevention and control was not the smartest move.

But then again...what things has stinky done that appear to be smart?
