I doubt even chat gpt would advise ivermectin for human consumption.

Let’s come down from our high horse. Healthcare will become more and more expensive and people will have to treat themselves with chatgpt. Misjudgements will become a regular thing.

Ivermectin is in fact used in human medicine, but the tablets come from real pharmaceutical providers, not some random wellness company. Most importantly they are used with a specific indication, not as some sort of wonder pill like the maga dipshits.

It is because 60 million US citizens have parasides (yahoo.com/…/cdc-60-million-americans-infected-153…) and feel better after taking ivermectin.
Of course it doesn’t treat covid.

I don’t think so. But there is not much of a difference if somebody listens to AI or friends when taking medicine without understanding it. Like the post says, we need objective understanding, e.g a wikipedia for medicine to be able to live in a world with too expensive healthcare.

That’s totally fine. I have a book by a native American grandmother explaining the use for local plants and they work. This, however, does nothing unless you have a parasite. Taking it for anything else is dangerous and ineffective.
