A Fox News guest who has promoted the use of unproven drugs to treat COVID-19 recommended on Sunday that viewers go to his group’s website to obtain its “protocols” of treatment, which include specific drugs — and importantly, at specific dosage levels — that are used for transgender health care.

Dr. Pierre Kory has appeared on Fox News multiple times to promote the use of the antiparasitic drug ivermectin, claiming that pharmaceutical companies “will never develop a drug that is more effective” nor admit that they were wrong. During an appearance on the January 9 edition of Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo, Kory promoted his group Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC) and claimed that “people are dying because they're being deprived of highly effective, cheap, widely available drugs that do not present as obscene profits to the pharmaceutical companies.”

“That is disgusting,” Bartiromo responded. “I know for a fact that hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin work to treat COVID.”

Kory then directed viewers to the FLCCC website, which recommends ivermectin as a “first line” medicine to treat cases of COVID-19. But as Twitter users have pointed out, the document contains a list of “second line agents” to use if symptoms last more than five days, if there is a “poor response” to the “first line agents,” or in case of “significant comorbidities.”

This second treatment consists of a “dual anti-androgen therapy” of spironolactone, in combination with either dutasteride or finasteride — drugs that are commonly used by transgender women to suppress their testosterone levels.

1. So they'll be taking a drug that suppresses testosterone levels, but also Viagra.

How is that going to work?

I'd guess the real die-hards will just stick with Viagra, washed down with a nice glass of their own pee.

2. And Tucker spends lots of time talking about lowered testosterone in American men.

Dying to hear his take......lol

3. Every goddamned drug they tell people to take, they should be made to name everything in it

and what it does to the body. I am blown away by the continued stupidity that they claim they won't take the vaccine because it has things in it they don't know. Make them prove it all. Now it is urine too? They don't know what people are eating and drinking, you know like all these other drugs they are taking.

4. I took spironolactone

for my heart failure for a while. Hmmmm.

5. And here I thought they claimed getting vaccinated caused infertility in men.

6. At what point do the hosts call these quacks out

“That’s disgusting “ is hardly it. Where do they find these experts?!

7. The "that's disgusting" comment was because Drs won't give out ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine

8. Anyone who gets their medical advice from Fox News or Joe Rogan deserves whatever ill effects

they end up with.

9. Looks like these magat assholes

Will have less testosterone. That will take some of thier violent tendencies down a notch.
Might be a good thing.

And it may interfere with thier proclivity to breed.So less kids that grow up as stupid ,bully ,narcissist as thier godamn parents are.

The right wing needs to slow down the reproduction and roid aggresion and stop the sexual perversion in the republicans that are seriously fucked up.

Less testosterone would be a good thing.
