(4,575 posts)There are so many blatantly false profiles who aren't even bothering to hide what they're up to. The most sickening recent example was someone I know has been diagnosed with metastatic cancer after a long struggle the past couple of years. This girl's cancer started out in her jaw. Imagine how painful that is. Anyway her bestie has been documenting her progress and keeping everyone updated as we are all rooting for her. When she got the news that it had metastasized she shared the news and we were all devastated. She went out of her way to talk about how wonderful her medical team has been and that they had decided she might be able to do a clinical trial going forward. We all wished her well and offered to help in any way we could and along comes this one idiot. I have to say idiot because I truly can think of no other description. Her post said that she had access to Ivermectin, would she like her to get her some, it will shrink the tumors and hold on to your hat, THE DOCTORS AND NURSES DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT IT. This stupid b*tch who had been so poisoned by RW trolls and bots (or maybe she was one) that she told a potentially terminal cancer patient that the people who had so lovingly cared for her the last several years and were trying to find a way to extend her life now actually knew the cure but didn't want her to know about it! WTF? It took everything I had not to rip her to absolute shreds. That post sat there like a rotten egg and no one replied to it. Thank goodness. I'm hoping the girl with cancer didn't see it.
