I'm fine with the "let them destroy themselves“ angle but they're also in power. Lawsuits are currently in motion that would revoke FDA approval for common vaccines. Revocation means nobody (except the rich) gets them.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

It's because they're the kind of stupid that follows in-group beliefs more than verifiable reality. We're all susceptible to overly weighing what our in-group says, but some people take it to dangerous levels.
And also there are grifters taking advantage of them.
I'm happy my in-group has an actual doctor. I love being able to ask her random questions and verifying things I've heard.

I've heard that this mess started because Ivermectin was tested in the developing world as a treatment for Covid, and that some of those who took it reported "feeling better."
Except in those parts of the world, many many people have untreated, festering parasite infestations like hookworm and many others. So yeah, when they take an antiparasitic compound, they start "feeling better," whether they have Covid or not.
Well the right wing is pretty wormy so
Maybe that's what killed RFK Jr's brain worm.
Depends on the timeline, but coincidentally, yes it could have. He's out there eating festering roadkill and carving the heads off of bloated whales, he realistically probably did have parasites, and ivermectin should be routine for him. Not for COVID, of course.
