In reply to the discussion: Joe Rogan's fate represents a critical juncture for the pandemic [View all]cadoman
(1,617 posts)32. AMA just announced that Ivermectin poses a significant risk of toxicity

Basically if you don't use it how AMA/CDC/FDA prescribe you run a very, very high risk of a toxic reaction and dying. Poison control centers are being flooded with calls about it (over a five-fold increase).
The toxic affects include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Overdoses are associated with hypotension and neurologic effects such as decreased consciousness, confusion, hallucinations, seizures, coma, and death.
We are going to see a five fold or much higher increase in ivermectin harm if we don't start suppressing misinformation about it. It could literally turn from a COVID pandemic of the unvaccinated into a COVID and ivermectin mis-use pandemic of the unvaccinated.

Is he in bad shape? Your post and a couple others I've read make it sound like it...

I would bet anything he has been fully vaccinated. He will never admit it to his brain dead

If that's the case, then he's had the vaccine. Monoclonals really help for those vaccinated

Covid is viral, azithromycin is an antibiotic, his doctor is evidently a moron (n/t)

He almost certainly won't succumb because he's getting monoclonal antibodies.

You mean like how Donald Trump convinced everyone to get vaccinated at his Alabama rally?
