Is ivermectin toxic? No. Is ivermectin toxic when your doctor refuses to prescribe it so you try to get it on the black market and accidentally dose yourself with enough of the drug to cure a 2,000 pound horse? I mean yeah, that’ll probably kill you. But we can’t have that conversation because honest, adult conversations concerning things like trade-offs and risk and our actual, ongoing reality are no longer allowed. Americans can’t be trusted to their own choices given accurate information, so the information has to be distorted — for our own good. Ivermectin isn’t an effective drug against SARS with anecdotal evidence concerning Covid in both directions, it’s lethal. Stop taking lethal horse drugs, idiot. You actual moron. Just do what you’re told.

NPR Trashes Free Speech. A Brief Response - by Matt Taibbi - TK News by Matt Taibbi
By the end of the segment, Marantz and Gladstone seemed in cheerful agreement they’d demolished any arguments against “getting away from individual rights and the John Stuart Mill stuff.” They felt it more appropriate to embrace the thinking of a modern philosopher like Marantz favorite Richard Rorty, who believes in “replacing the whole framework” of society, which includes “not doing the individual rights thing anymore.”

Apparently, ABC thought it was a very touching Facebook post as well. So, they did something unthinkable, according to Paul Szoldra, the editor in chief of Task and Purpose, and Duffel Blog. They stole the post, used Capt. Ball’s name and published it as an op-ed by him, titled “My fallen Marines will always be my heroes: Opinion.” They even created an “author” profile for him on their website. All without his permission.

BREAKING: In a major blow to vaccine efforts, senior FDA leaders stepping down – Endpoints News
A former senior FDA leader told Endpoints that they’re departing because they’re frustrated that CDC and their ACIP committee are involved in decisions that they think should be up to the FDA. The former FDAer also said he’s heard they’re upset with CBER director Peter Marks for not insisting that those decisions should be kept inside FDA. What finally did it for them was the White House getting ahead of FDA on booster shots.
