LT42 weinstein is a complete tool.

LT42

303abuser I know nothing about him other than the Fridman podcast, seems like an interesting fellow, what’s the story with him?

303abuser

LT42 long story short, he’s a quack who’s more interested in playing the victim role than anything else. i’m pretty sure he’s joe rogan’s main source for all the nonsense he believes about covid, that’s about all i need to know about him.

LT42

303abuser I did some reading on Ivermectin and what he says checks out. Not that I’ll be downing it in any time soon but its not “Horse paste” which seems to be the latest nomenclature. Strange times. Some craic if it was the cure and social media killed off the idea because of Joe Rogan.

Who is this Joe Rogan character? Where did he come from? I just watched the podcast and most of it comes across as quackery.

303abuser

mono-stereo his podcast was good pre-covid. he had a wide variety of guests and he’d let them talk. since covid, he’s become absolutely insufferable, while spreading a lot of misinformation. somewhere along the way he’s transitioned from being inquisitive to an “expert” who needs to interject his own ignorant opinions over top of guests who are actual experts.

Hursty

mono-stereo Never listened to him, not once, also literally no idea why he’s so ‘big’ but that’s the Internet I suppose.

Unfortunately, there’s plenty of enlightenment-signalling podberks out there who think they’re smart because they repeat, ad nauseam, the ramblings of such folk like rogan and pas it off as their own independent ‘thinking’.

Communicating ideas is dangerous and should be restricted to a select few 😂

COVID STATUS: Denial with a side order of conspiracy theory

303abuser

LT42 there’s really weak evidence to indicate it may help with shortening duration of symptoms post-infection for some people, but there is absolutely no evidence for prophylactic use.

I’ve got no idea whether Ivermectin should or shouldn’t be used against Covid, but much of the scepticism and ridicule around it that I’ve seen appears to relate to the fact that it’s commonly used on horses - well I’m just going to point out that a certain tranquiliser commonly used on horses is also quite popular with humans, so it doesn’t seem worthy of immediate dismissal on that front at least.

I think this will be a surprise to most but it’s actually most commonly used on humans with great success (Africa mostly). Which is why the online branding of it as a drug for horses only seems a little cynical to me and suggests a smear campaign. I wonder why?
I’ve bought bangers off shady bastards in dark corners of clubs for many a year, passing said bangers onto friends who danced, skipped and whistled whilst necking them without so much as a by your leave. I’d defo sample this stuff if push came to shove. I’m not on board with the current withchunt. Perception is key. I do agree that Rogan is a fuckin douchebag however. I only watched the podcast for the guests, which I’m sure 99% of viewers did anyway.
