Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

I'm not defending everything Trump has said about ivermectin. My argument is that this specific claim about telling people to take dangerous doses of it is incorrect. If you think I'm mistaken, then please provide me with the quote where he says this because I can't find it myself.
There was plenty false information about covid and the cures/treatments back then. "Masks don't protect you from the virus" "The vaccine gives you immunity" "Lab leak theory is conspiracy and xenophobic" etc. It was a moving target. We dealt with the information we had. Some of it turned out to be wrong, some right. I can't blame people for looking alternative treatments especially when for the longest time vaccines weren't even available.
