⁰It’s hard to explain just how radicalized ivermectin and antivax Facebook groups have become in the last few weeks.
They’re now telling people who get COVID to avoid the ICU and treat themselves, often by nebulizing hydrogen peroxide.
So, how did we get here?
The number of people in these ivermectin groups have exploded.

So has the number of people in the groups who have contracted COVID, since the groups are largely filled with unvaccinated people seeking "alternative therapies."
So they developed a makeshift “protocol.”
As they’re home self-medicating, antivaxxers are furious that friends and family won’t be administered ivermectin at the hospital.

So they’ve developed directions on how to get loved ones out of ICUs: put them in hospice care, then get them the miracle cures from YouTube.
Ivermectin Facebook is a wildly dark scene, an inverted reality where medical consensus is an elaborate conspiracy to kill you and random people on Facebook have the secret cure.

As Dr. Aditi Nerurkar tells me, "They’re starting to target the messengers—nurses and doctors.”
Here's the full story about "vigilante medicine" on ivermectin Facebook.

Antivaxxers are starting to wrap doctors and ICUs into their dark conspiracy theories, as they suffer at home with ad-hoc COVID treatments that don't work.

Well, if they get their loved ones out of the ICUs it will free up beds for other people. Not good for their loved ones, certainly, but . . .
ReplyDeleteZuckerberg and Sandberg, I do have to wonder if they regularly bliss out on mindfulness meditation on their breath as they make billions off of Facebook. Jack Dorsey at Twitter, too.
