    Lately on Facebook I’ve been going to the pages of parents who don’t vaccinate and telling them they have passive Munchausen’s syndrome by proxy, and leaving a choice collection of screenshots from doctors on Bluesky who have seen unvaccinated children die. It puts the fear of God into the less certain ones.

    My dad reshared one of these posts. (That version had a picture of the veterinary bottle that said for cows and pigs.)

    My mom had RA(so immunocompromised) and died from covid.

    Honestly, it made me angry, but depressed feelings managed to overshadow that. I mean, what the FUCK! How can you spread that bullshit when YOUR WIFE died from covid. HOW?!!!

    I’m just like, “so you think if she has just taken some dewormer she would still be alive and not suffering RA pain?” If only we had known…

    Sorry, I wanted to vent.

      Honestly, I just use ivermectin for everything. Shampoo? Ivermectin. Tooth paste? Ivermectin. Hungry or thirsty? Ivermectin. Low tire pressure? Ivermectin.

        Tooth paste

        1. Ivermectin protects the teeth from decay, even if your diet only consists of pure HFCS.
        2. Say goodbye to bad breath too.
        3. Your teeth will be white forever.
        4. It even protects you from diabetes, no need to end subsidizing the corn industry.

        Low tire pressure

        1. By consuming Ivermectin, your tires will never go flat.

            Nonono, you don’t understand.

            Ivermectin is such a wonderful medicine, it heals and protects the car you drive. In fact it’ll heal and protect people around you (they still need to take the horse dewormer though for maximum effect).

              Afaik if you have ivermectin in the car, the car is actually immune from any sort of damage. I think it gets it the air and deworms the steel.

      And yet it still can’t treat erectile dysfunction. Sad because all these conspiracy theorists need it.

    I mean, it’s not just a horse dewormer… it’s also a good human dewormer too. In a way… I’m kinda sad that the right wing chose to worship such a mildly toxic medication, if they’d rallied around calomel or something the world might be a better place.

      Particularly when there are immunologists that think both of those can be solved by more contact with benign parasites?

        I remember when the “immune system is like a muscle” theory where ridiculed with the “shoot yourself with increasingly larger caliber bullets to build up immunity from being shot”, but then the skeptics of the internet thought feminism was a bigger threat to society, than pseudoscience, because of evolutionary psychologists (who often were creationists ironically).

    It even stops you from stubbing your toe against the bed frame and stepping on Legos will no longer hurt, it’s a miracle drug!

    I just dont get it, cant one be charged for giving medical advice when they are not a doctor? Wouldnt this fall under that?

      Is it not considered free speech if you’re not charging money?

      If you’re licensed in some healthcare capacity and give medical advice outside the scope of your training you could lose your license/right to practice/etc.

      But I’m pretty sure crazy people telling others to inject bleach is somehow protected speech.

        I dont think this is right, as when orange man made the comments to just drink (inject)bleach to cure covid, I thought they made it very clear (his team) that he is NOT a medical doctor and that wasnt medical advice. I think you need to clarify your position and the reason you are saying these things if it deals with medical information I dont think you have to benefit from the information to run a fowl of the snake oil laws. But I am no lawyer and I have not researched these points, I am just going off what the thinking bacon in my head is telling me.

          Yeah, that makes sense. I do wonder where the line is between “medical advice” and “free speech” considering that people apparently say all sorts of crap on facebook if the screenshots are to be believed.

          It’s a Lemmy feature. Every instance can have a list of slurs that’s automatically removed from all messages. You can see the instance’s slur regex in the /site api endpoint, key slur_filter_regex. Lemmy.ca’s filter bans the word “retarded” among some other things.

          I’ve looked at a few other instances and they’re all interestingly different. Someone should do data science on this. E.g., I’ve yet to find an instance that uses it to automatically censor ideologically opposing sites, which is better than I expected, but it’s almost certain that some instances do.
