Can you post an actual peer reviewed, double blind placebo study showing ivermectin is effective is the prevention and/or treatment of COVID-19?

 

Thanks.  I'll wait.

Can you post one that shows it's not?

What a ridiculous thing to say

And, I'm fine calling that Dr. a quack on this subject.

Because it is a horse medicine. I’ve acknowledged multiple times there is a human version. But, the vast majority is sold for horses and other livestock. 
 

There have been idiots actually buying the horse version thinking eating that will save them. 
 

And, your last question is just BS. There is not one valid study showing it has any affect on Covid even though some idiots believe it does. 
 

The manufacturer even acknowledges this. 

But you're specifically calling it horse medecine and omitting that it's also a people drug.  And the people drug is the version PEOPLE take.  Only morons take animal medecine (happens on farms more than you think with other drugs and WAAAAAYYYYYYYY before Covid).  That's a glorified media headline that isn't nearly as accurate as you seem to think.

Oh there absolutely are.  But those doctors have been deemed dangerous.  Robert Malone has plenty to say on that, not that you'd listen to him anyway.  You made up your mind and are comfortable spinning yarn calling it horse medecine instead of being honest.  You do you.

Of course there is human ivermectin and I’ve said so on this board in the last couple days. 
 

However, there has yet to be a valid research study that I’ve seen that proves an anti-parasite drug treats a virus. 
 

So, for now, it’s nothing more than a scam from people who claim it does. 

So why keep only saying it's horse medecine, that's inaccurate.  That's the same thing CNN would do.  And the same data you're using, which is a lack thereof, doesn't suggest that Ivermectin would harm a person either.  So why wouldn't someone want to take it as an off label use for Covid since many have found it to be a valuable treatment?

If you have any more reliable info on this I'd appreciate it. Looking into it, all it yielded was a lot of unsubstantiated allegations, a story by Vice that alleged it was occuring and a NYT article stating it was not. Closest I can find is Republicans mad their name was not auto-populating into the "suggested accounts" when you search for someone on Twitter - but that you can STILL go to their page directly and view all of their tweets.

 

If that's the case it's another example of Republicans feeling victimized about something I can't really pretend to care about.

We experienced it a lot during the height of covid during live streams of our podcast.  Once some of the data became questionable we would have debates and discussions and gained a lot of live viewers during that time.  Then they magically disappeared when we would say specific things.  Has happened multiple times since the election as well when someone says anything about vote count inaccuracies, masks/vaccines and criticism of Biden over certain things.

Specifically YouTube is the main culprit.  We had a video of someone reading something in the middle of the long show, then a clipped down portion of just that.  One video was deemed misinformation or something along those lines, the other never got a strike.  They started using the strikes as a way to enhance the shadowbans as well, if the strike is a two week live restriction, you can expect around 3 months of being buried in the algorithm and search results.   You would have to type in the full name of the channel, hit enter, AND sift through various other related channels before finding it.  Before you could type in half the name and it would pop right up as a suggestion.

There are sneaky things they can do to minimize reach, none of it they admit to.  At least Twitch just outright bans people and is honest about it.

Identity politics is such a funny complaint coming from the American right. It's died down now in favor of "radical socialism" but it was always ridiculous because they did the same thing, just focused on white, Christian identity politics.

 

A necessary component of the censorship discussion is that the American right LOVES playing the victim card 24/7 even when they haven't actually been victimized. Certainly not on Twitter. They haven't been shadowbanned. They either got regular banned by breaking terms of service (generally very obviously for cause) or their opinions just sucked and weren't popular.

For a crowd so centered on machismo, they would certainly be taken a lot more seriously if they stopped acting like petulant whiners all the time.

Shadowbanning is a real thing and popularity is largely based on who the algorithm is supposed to push and who to supress.

Some people's opinions on this is like reading a Vox article, "Censoring freedom of speech and why it's a good thing!"

Not sure I understand your sentence.  But, it is horse medicine.  Amazingly, some people still think it kills Covid.

You do understand, and you know there are different iterations of the medecine used to treat both human and animal.  And there are ongoing studies to gage the effectiveness of ivermectin against covid.  Amazingly, some people still pretend to not know this.

Do some people actually still believe Ivermectin killed a bunch of people/is horse medecine?

Did all of the employees and algorithms and terms of service change at the stroke of midnight? 

Didn't have to, the wokest of employees are claiming to have quit or they will half a$$ it until they quit getting paid.

I think it's crazy that left wingers are so upset Elon bought Twitter.

 

For the same same reasons

Right wing twitter is popping off today with everything that would have gotten them banned the last 2yrs

What an absolute clown

I bet more people moved to Canada than there will be people who actually leave Twitter forever 

At this point I'd be ecstatic to win 6 or 7 games.  But these predictions hang on us not tripping over our own d.....err, feet AND staying healthy.  Two things this program has been completely and utterly incapable of for the better part of a decade (over 2 decades depending who you ask).

Just beat Oklahoma, Wisconsin and Iowa and 3 of the other's we should have no problem with and get us to a damn bowl game.  Not even worried or concerned about a division title let alone a conference title.  Walk before you run.

I just want to go back in time and not cancel the Akron game. What does that do to his tenure?

Akron is Nebraska’s Butterfly Effect

The Illinois game was an anomaly, not because of the loss or how we lost, but because we never had any warm up and it essentially set the tone for the whole season.  Coming off 4yrs of rough seasons and starting that way was a fatal blow.

This narrative will flip once Russia crosses the red line by attacking a NATO country and we send in troops to defend.   Then it'll be "Biden is a warmonger".  Just like the imminent invasion of Syria lie that was pushed here right after his election.

 

But to your point.  The vultures arriving here to support Putin can't give you an answer.  

He moved troops theough Syria against their wishes, this was verified.

He is a warhwak and in one year has found himself smack dab in the middle of a WW3 level conflict.  But yes, it's probably Trump's fault or Trump would've done worse or insert premade excuse.  Keep defending this, it's pathetic.  Anyone defending Russia, or defending Biden right now is out of their mind.  Clout chasing on social media will definitely help stop rising inflation, civil unrest and global conflict though so keep at it.

Great example of deplatforming and censorship rules only applying to certain narratives.  Trash tweet that should be grounds for account suspension.

Probably not the best time to have a leader as weak as Biden in the White House.

Hey now, have you seen one mean Tweet aimed at Putin?  Didn't think so!  That's restraint dammit!

He's less imbecile and more irresponsible. He's all about ratings - which is his business, and understandable. 

 

He's good at interviewing people. He is loose with the truth, in favor of ratings, and that's where he's gotten pushback.

 

He's certainly not being "canceled," which is the kneejerk reaction whenever someone we like receives that pushback. Some artists chose not to be associated with the platform he's using to disseminate his ideas and they're getting reactionary pushback from Rogan's fans. 

 

Funny how that's not seen as "canceling" Neil Young. 

You're pushing hard that Joe cares more about ratings than honesty.  That's a warped perspective but you're welcome to it.

Neil canceled himself from Spotify, literally.  If Neil wants to not be on the platform and requests his own removal, that's a far cry from having public outrage guilt you into leaving/removing yourself.

You're essentially saying the backlash and racist accusations are fine because he's had guests on and had discussions where things you don't agree with were said.  I'm not asking for you to rethink a stance on anything.  But having the past dug up to paint him as a racist simply because he subscribes to a different narrative isn't okay.
