You left out the best part: the author, Dr. Justus R. Hope is a complete fraud. "Many pro-Ivermectin opinion articles are written by Justus R. Hope, MD., who admits this name is a pseudonym underneath the articles he writes. Dr. Hope also writes under his fake name in a book he authored Surviving Cancer, COVID-19, and Disease: The Repurposed Drug Revolution." EDIT: Evidently, he wrote, "The Coffee Cure Diet."

That's creepy as hell.

No. That's not how it works. You want me to read what you think? Then the onus is on you to choose a source that I can at least respect. If I start quoting my mate Jeff the brickie from the pub as a source of covid information then you could rightly tell me to shut up and have no need to refute any of the points he made, because it's a stupid source of information at the start. We don't need to go any deeper than that as it's a waste of time. I'm not sure why you feel the need to throw some Latin in there - it's not as impressive as you might think, but hey - maybe my classical education may finally have a point if you want to go that route? I'll also just leave this here from the BBC: "The BBC can reveal that more than a third of 26 major trials of the drug for use on Covid have serious errors or signs of potential fraud. None of the rest show convincing evidence of ivermectin's effectiveness. Dr Kyle Sheldrick, one of the group investigating the studies, said they had not found "a single clinical trial" claiming to show that ivermectin prevented Covid deaths that did not contain "either obvious signs of fabrication or errors so critical they invalidate the study"." https://www.bbc.com/news/health-58170809

Seems that getting Covid does not confer long term immunity: https://scitechdaily.com/for-unvaccinated-covid-reinfection-is-likely-can-happen-in-three-months-or-less/ “Reinfection can reasonably happen in three months or less,” said Jeffrey Townsend, the Elihu Professor of Biostatistics at the Yale School of Public Health and the study’s lead author. “Therefore, those who have been naturally infected should get vaccinated. Previous infection alone can offer very little long-term protection against subsequent infections.”

McConnell is an evil turd, but he is not stupid. He is trying to force the Democrats to use the reconciliation process to pass the debt limit bill, which will burn a lot of clock and prevent the Democrats from passing their human infrastructure bill and also any voting protection legislation. Just as he did with Obama he doesn't want Biden to have any "wins", so Republicans will be able to portray Democrats as incompetent losers in the next election. Also Republicans are desperate to stymie any voting protection as they are very aware that voting suppression is their only path to power. It's just gravy that he can stick the Democrats with the bill for four years of fiscal irresponsibility under Trump. In the end McConnell and the Republican party only care about winning and power. They do not care at all about the damage they would do to the country, people, and the world. For them the end always justifies the means if the end is they win. Don
