      Generally yes, but there’s cases where parents gave this shit to their kids too.

        I think you’re confusing this and Ivermectin. Hydroxychloroquine (as far as I know) is prescription only. Ivermectin is too technically but you can get the “livestock” version at a TSC or similar store. Which says a lot about the “not sheep” crowd taking medicine literally used for livestock.

        Technically, that still serves to remove their genes from the pool.

      Maybe you should think twice before posting this kind of uncompassionate drivel.

      Some of these people died because they trusted the prescription from their doctor. Not everybody is able to read and understand scientific literature, and they might have to rely on the authority of someone they trust. Some doctors believed, against all evidence, that this was the right thing to prescribe and some patients took their word for it.

          I don’t know in other countries, but in France there was a sort of cult from some media around Raoult, who was, at the time, a respected name. So maybe it’s not that simple.

          People are talking about dead people and just call them morons. Without any idea of what they went through. Amazing.

            My wife’s aunt is married to a Frenchman and the level of worship he displayed for the guy was incroyable. No matter what came out disproving how ineffective Hydroxychloroquine was in tests during 2020/2021 he was absolutely certain that Raoult would prove to be right in the end.

            sorry, but my empathy for those people is zero after the last few years. toddlers tantrum over masks, ignoring social distancing while partying, protesting against lockdowns while the ICUs were overfilled, spreading bullshit on social media about the vaccine and calling people nazis over the idea that mandated vaccination might be smart - i will call them morons over and over again, regardless of nationality, and will cite studys like the OP whenever someone asks why. i’ve been called worse for masking up when it wasn’t required, our little snowflakes will have to endure it.

            No idea what they went through? Are you being serious? We all know what they went through. It was a global pandemic. They were reports of the virus in North Korea.
