This is where we are.

We have an actor, Mel Gibson, and a podcaster, @joerogan, making claims about Ivermectin curing Stage 4 ancer.

The minute you ask for evidence, it's a problem.

Please cite the study that shows Ivermectin effectively treats stage 4 cancer.

NOT IN VITRO S. IN A LIVING CANCER PATIENT!!!

Im going to get every excuse in the world, but no evidence...

Smallpox killed 500 million people by the 20th century.

Vaccines eradicated it.

Most antivaxers have never heard of the disease, because vaccines work...

The antivax paradigm of thought is not new. It's been around for decades.

People have been stupid for a very long time.

Life sometimes imitates art.

In the 2011 film "Contagion", Alan Krumwiede (played by Jude Law) tells everyone that a herb called "Forsythia" cures the deadly "MEV-1" virus in the film.

The twist, HE NEVER HAD THE VIRUS (which is why he is wearing PPE in the picture below, even ")!!!

He bought stock in the companies that produced the herbal supplement and played off of fear and death to turn a profit and push his podcast.

Forsythia=Ivermectin
MEV-1=COVID-19

Sound familiar?

Keep in mind, this film came out 8 years before COVID-19 appeared.

There is a very simple explanation for that.

You're an idiot...
I’m thoroughly convinced the average mom or dad of a vaccine-injured child knows far more about vaccines and vaccine research than pediatricians.

Thoroughly convinced.

There is no evidence that Ivermectin or Ivermectin treated COVID.

The manufacturer of the drug WHO WOULD MAKE BILLIONS, even said it doesn't work for COVID.

Antivaxers are weird.

The drugs that work they say they don't.

The drugs that don't work, they claim they do...

See this is that "I wrestled for a decade plus, and now my brain doesn't fire on all cylinders" logic.

Scotch Tape and FM Broadcasting were also invented in the 1930s, so by your logic...

Listening to "All I Want for Christmas Is You" while wrapping presents
=AUTISM?!?!

Are you ok bro???
FACT: Autism was first discovered in the early 1940s.

The Tetanus shot was introduced in the 1930s.

As more vaccines were introduced over the years and decades, autism rates went up as well.

Podcasting will be the death of us.

30 years ago, guys like @joerogan would just be labeled as class clowns and ignored by society.

Today, their voices scream the loudest and drown out sense and reason.

A "comedian" that's not even funny, being the "authority" on vaccines, medications and everything else, who would have thought...

A study of almost 800,000 women.

37% lower rate of cervical cancer in vaccinated vs. unvaccinated women.

Antivaxers have literally no answers to refute the power of life saving vaccines!!!!

Question: "what is the biggest load of BS put out there by Oncologists about Ivermectin and other repurposed drugs??"

Answer: When clowns like @MakisMedicine claim, with no evidence, that Ivermectin treats cancer.

There is no evidence that it does...
VIDEO - what is the biggest load of BS put out there by Oncologists about Ivermectin and other repurposed drugs??

Liver toxicity.

It’s rare, mild and always resolves quickly.

So why do they lie about it? 🤔

"Cars can cause crashes.

Crashes can cause traumatic brain injury.

Traumatic brain injury can sometimes produce lasting behavioral and developmental changes that resemble autism.

Therefore, cars cause autism.”

See how stupid that sounds, that's what you sound like.

This is a textbook causal fallacy.

There is no evidence that vaccines cause autism.

Further, to suggest that ALL KINDS OF encephalitis (which is really a myriad of pathologies) automatically equal autism is idiotic.

This is where the antivax/autism debate is. This is how weak it is. You have to make half-baked illogical arguments because the fact of the matter is, the evidence just isn't on your side...
I will make two statements, followed by evidence.

If you can refute them, I will concede.

If not, you must accept it.

1. Vaccines have been shown to cause encephalitis.

This is documented in the Institute for Vaccine Safety (Johns Hopkins) reviews, which conclude that measles-containing vaccines can cause measles inclusion body encephalitis (MIBE), that certain historical mumps vaccine strains caused encephalitis, that varicella vaccine can cause viral meningitis, and that yellow fever vaccine causes yellow fever vaccine-associated neurotropic disease (YEL-AND), which includes encephalitis. These conclusions draw from Institute of Medicine (now National Academy of Medicine) assessments, Vaccine Safety Datalink analyses, case reports with laboratory confirmation of vaccine-strain virus, and pharmacovigilance data.

2. Encephalitis has been shown to cause autism.

This is documented in multiple peer-reviewed case reports and series describing previously typically developing children who developed core autism spectrum features (developmental regression, loss of language, social withdrawal, stereotypies) after herpes simplex encephalitis, enterovirus encephalitis, or anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis. It is further supported by a nationwide claims-database cohort study finding an association between viral meningitis/encephalitis and subsequent autism spectrum disorder diagnosis (with the association persisting in sibling analyses), as well as reviews linking post-infectious and autoimmune encephalitis to acquired autism-like presentations.

Feel free to fact check these.

If vaccines can cause encephalitis, and encephalitis can cause autism, then vaccines can cause austim.

This isn't rocket science.

Genetics.

"Healthy people" get cancer because of genetics.

Not because of any of these other magical reasons.

Google the "Two Hit Hypothesis"...

Thank me later...

Even the antivaxers are starting to admit vaccines work.

And the house of cards comes crumbling down...
🇺🇸 Pennsylvania has lost a 6th person to measles in less than 2 months.

This time it was a 39-year-old woman who hadn’t been vaccinated. She already had health problems, and doctors think the measles likely pushed her heart over the edge.

It’s the state’s worst outbreak in 30 rmed cases, and the people who’ve died include 2 babies and an 18-year-old.

And doctors fear it’s much bigger than it looks. Measles usually kills 1 or 2 people out of every 1,000 it infects, so 6 deaths suggests closer to 6,000 people have caught it.

The saddest part is that almost all of them weren’t vaccinated, against a disease 2 shots can protect you from for life.

Interesting.

Smallpox rates decreased on multiple continents simultaneously, "coincidentally" in proportion to increases in vaccine rates.

It's almost like...
