Some members of the group are taking ivermectin not only as a treatment against COVID, but as a cure-all for almost every disease—from cancer and depression, to autism and ovarian cysts—believing that every disease is caused by a parasite that is removed from the body by ivermectin, just as animals are given the drug to treat parasitic worms like tapeworm.
Lemoi also formulated an ivermectin regimen for children, and numerous members of the group reported that they were using it. This week alone one member wrote that she had established another group for “parents of children on the spectrum, cerebral palsy, pans/panda, downs etc.,” who are using the Lemoi’s recommended children’s dosage.
:wut:
People dare to make fun of medieval thinkers for believing the Miasma theory of disease but at least that had the weight of centuries of tradition behind it. This is just some bullshit a random guy said on facebook, and then thousands of credulous fools willingly poisoned themselves.
This is a variant of some :brainworms: that have been floating around in conspiracy groups for a couple decades probably. There are people who give their autistic children bleach enemas and then conclude the intestinal lining that comes out are parasites which are supposedly what is afflicting their kid.
jesus fucking christ
