Patient Ivermectin πŸ™„πŸ™„πŸ™„

I recently went shopping at Kroger with my partner, and I was riding around in one of the little carts.

After we were done shopping, I parked the cart at the charging station and plugged it in, while I waited for my partner to bring the car around.

As I'm sitting there waiting, I put my head down on the "steering wheel" bc I feel like shit.

So this guy who works there sees me and asks if I'm okay. I explain that I have stage 4 metastatic cancer and I feel like shit.

He starts rambling off about Ivermectin and how he's seen some shit on YT and all this other bullshit.

Y'all... I legit couldn't fucking roll my eyes hard enough!

I tried to be polite and just said I'll mention it to my oncologist. He then says "if he won't give it to you, then go to another one!" I said that I have two I am consulting with, and I will ask them both.

I do actually plan on mentioning this to my oncologists, BUT only so I can tell others that I've already mentioned it to my doctors, bc I KNOW it's gonna happen again... and again... AND AGAIN!

How do y'all deal with the crunchy woo tyoes? My Satanist ass doesn't do the whole sugarcoating bullshit nonsense, I don't have the patience for it.

How do y'all deal with ignorant ass people like this?!

I like that they think "Doctors want to keep ivermectin a secret, and sell you those expensive drugs instead."

If ivermectin could cure cancer, there's no way the manufacturer would let doctors keep a lid on that.

And ivermectin would no longer be cheap.

It's just so stunningly stupid.

Right? "Big Pharma wants to keep you sick, man!"

Who the fuck do they think makes Ivermectin?? Santa and his elves?

The patents for Ivermectin have expired. There’s no money to be made like there is in promoting the use of the multimillion dollar use of chemo for which doctors receive a kickback for each treatment.Β
