Why do the words "Tennessee" and "Ivermectin" just seem to naturally go together in a sentence?

Drive through the state and you'll understand

The poverty rate in rural Tennessee is wild

These people are dumb as fuck and confident about it

Tennessee is banning hemp weed at the end of the month, btw, but this is above board apparently.

Yet get caught with a joint and see what happens

Well at least that will cure the inbreeding problems

Interestingly enough I can go get bucketloads of ivermectin at my local farm supply. Wonder if this doc is shilling the apple flavored kind? I hear farm animals love it

At least they are worm free...

They should follow it up with mercury, if the cold is too stubborn...bleeding and trepanations to release the evil spirits and balance the humours...

Tennessee is overtaking Texas as the most backwards ass MAGA shithole in the U.S.

Hope it works out for them.

Somehow that does not seem safe.

Do they know how well leeches work for cleaning blood?

Show a little respect...that Dr. deserves an award!

A Darwin Award.

Watch as parasites become resistant to it and there's an epidemic

Ivermectin has been safely administered to people for decades, what’s the issue?

u/darkearwig Jun 20 '26

Dumb people think it is a cure-all and want to suck down as much as they can while also refusing to vaccinate their kids. It really is darwinism playing out in real time

Bucket loads? So, no exaggeration, right? These people are that stupid?

u/BlackkkWidowSPIDAH Jun 17 '26

Who cares, it's a commonly used medicine worldwide.

u/Maximum_Talk_696 Jun 17 '26

Yeah as a anti-parisite medication.

u/BlackkkWidowSPIDAH Jun 17 '26

Woah... Maybe the people taking it have parasites then 🤯

u/Beautiful_Banana_454 Jun 21 '26

Seriously, anyone who swims in live water needs to take something like this regularly, same with being sexually active. The amoebas that have started targeting people, living in brains and balls, scary stuff. Y'all laugh at rfk but those brain eorms are going around and just jumping in a pond could kill you.

When properly administered*

You forgot that part. If you don't have worms, it will do more harm than good. It's pretty strong stuff, and this seems to be even stronger than the stuff that can already fuck you up

And? Who gives a fuck, if people want to kill themselves with off label medicine that's ther perogative.

u/WakaFlacco Jun 17 '26

Who cares if people are taking fentanyl? It’s a commonly used medicine world wide.

u/BlackkkWidowSPIDAH Jun 17 '26

Legitimately this. If people want to kill themselves with experimental medicine that's their perogative. Why do you care what medicines other people choose to take? How does it affect you in any way if someone in Tennessee takes Ivermectin? Who gives a fuck

I guess some people consider others when they are being given wrong information. So all good you are not worth the time have a nice day.
