Once upon a time, Perdue Pharma spent decades convincing doctors that the best medical science supported getting the whole country hooked on opiates.

Weird how a Byzantine medical system of grotesquely unethical for-profit firms, with wildly unequal access & outcomes, where life-saving care is regularly and arbitrarily withheld, would engender this kind of mistrust in the midst of a devastatingly mismanaged pandemic.
It sure doesn’t help that the main website that the Horse Paste People are getting their info from looks as legit as the Mayo Clinic or WebMD, or that it links to a bunch of seemingly legitimate medical studies that are difficult to parse or evaluate without a medical degree.
DON’T FUCKING TAKE ANIMAL MEDICATIONS.
Also ivermectin is prescribed as a topical anti-inflammatory for conditions like rosacea.
Turns out medical science is complex, self-medicating in any form can be incredibly dangerous.

Laughing at people who are eating horse paste and shitting out their intestinal lining gets way less funny if you’ve ever googled at-home cures for ear-aches or yeast infections because you feel like your doctor casually overprescribes antibiotics.
