just had to unfriend and block someone on here for spewing blatant medical misinformation

some dude on friendrewind added me so we could talk about our experiences being disabled, which i'm always down for, love talking to other disabled people. (i think his comment might still be on my profile, dude's username is just X) but literally all he kept spouting was medical misinformation??? 

like, it was legitimately insane. he immediately was like "yeah, i use ivermectin for my chronic fatigue syndrome" HUH???? ivermectin is an anti-parasitic drug???? if someone tells me they use ivermectin for anything but it's intended use, i'm going to automatically assume you're an antivaxxer. 

it's giving "during 2020 lockdown i hoarded hydroxychloroquine" he also told me i can heal my GENETIC DISABILITY with HERBS. BRUH WHAT???? i blocked him so quick 


in america the average reading level is that of a 5th grader and people like this really highlight that fact.

OMG those kind of people are THE WORST!!!! Ivermectin is literally an anti parasitic drug used for treating heartworm. While it can be taken by humans, its use is super limited. It has not been shown to be affective as a treatment for COVID-19 and especially ME/CFS. Good thing you blocked them.

Also hello fellow disabled person. 👋



THANK YOU DUDE EXACTLY 😭🫂


i was like "dude, with all due respect, such severe chronic pain like mine cannot be treated with herbs unless we're talking plants with alkaloids that target the opioid receptors like kratom. why do you keep begging me to try herbs?" 


he goes "because i care about you"


bro 1. we just met, you do not know me. and 2. PLANTS CANNOT FIX MY FAULTY GENES 😭


ivermectin for anything BUT it's intended use as an anti-parasitic is giving Q-Anon
