      Yeah, but that doesn't mean universally every single fact mentioned on CNN is suddenly wrong. Otherwise we'd be drinking bleach lmao.

        Plus, "questioning" should have some focus, or else the questioner is just blowing smoke. @Alaskaball's comment about "well what exactly are you questioning, what exactly do you think is false?" is a good one.

          Fucking thank you. Otherwise it's just crank shit.

          And it's megasus to imply (as some people sometimes do) that "WMDs in Iraq" and "don't eat the horse paste" are somehow equivalent narratives.

          Yeah, of course you should interrogate all news reports. But in this instance it's not looking like anti-ivermectin media is a conspiracy.

              All of this is very true, but not really relevant to the ivermectin coverage.

              Basically all pandemic coverage focuses on individual choice and avoids looking too hard at the systemic issues underlying it all. This is, of course, beneficial to bourgeois interests. The horse paste (subject of this thread) still isn't a good idea, just like the previous miracle cures chuds were obsessing over which have now been memory-holed.

                  We've just gone over this, though. You should question and analyze everything. Questioning and analyzing ivermectin coverage shows that, while the media is shit, ivermectin probably isn't a good idea. Therefore, OP should stop JAQing off all over this thread.

                      "Just Asking Questions."

                      Also, we have other sources that show us that ivermectin is probably a bad plan, and WMDs were not in Iraq. The media is unreliable, but they're only sometimes lying, as a function of the interests of their owners.

                      In any case, we should probably wrap up this discussion, because the thread has been removed.

      Do you not accept that it is within their class interest to not have large numbers of the proletariat poison themselves to death during another crisis of Capital?

          Most big bourgeois would probably like nothing more than for everyone to take the fucking vaccines and go back to work. Necessity of booster shots (more money for pharma companies) is guaranteed regardless due to vaccine apartheid in the global south.

              Well yes, the bourgeoisie is not a monolith. It is in the interests of most of them for things to go back to normal, especially many of the larger and more powerful ones directly invested in the stability of the state.
