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!

Let's hope for the best case scenario: she actually did have covid and spread the virus to other totalitarian ghouls
This isn't 2021 or even 2020. Catching covid right now is no longer a big deal, especially that you have access to the best doctors.
COVID is still a big deal. People are still getting sick and dying. In the US, it's still claiming about 1,500 lives weekly.
Long COVID significantly affects the quality of life for many.
The best doctor can only advocate for the best treatment. Your continued good health is dependent on your vigilance.
As a person with long covid, people like you can go fuck yourselves
As? I agree.
Thanks for the heads up. Didn't get it at first because fucking brain fog.
If we were talking about the normal populace, sure. But we're taking about an aged and under-vaccinated group.
Please, Republican politicians are all vaccinated. They just pushed that shit to please the plebs
Who believe horse dewormer is a cure
As opposed to people who prefer cancer drugs?
That's about an equally flippant, equally bullshit response. Ivermectin isn't just "horse dewormer", it's a pretty broad and widely used anti-parasitic, which when it was discovered in the 70s was referred to as a "wonder drug from Japan" because it works in a wide variety of mammal species (including humans, often being used to treat scabies or intestinal worms) against a wide variety of parasites.
Right wing idiots spread the idea that an anti-parasitic is an appropriate treatment for a viral infection, but that doesn't change that you should respect the fucking drug and all the good it has done in the last half century.
Settle down Beavis. Pretty sure he was mocking the people, not the drug itself
Context: you’re reading a thread about Covid. Ivermectin is not a cure for Covid. Nothing else you said is relevant.
Statistics indicate you are not a researcher. Stick to the like and dislike button on YouTube. Dunning Kruger thanks you for your service.
They probably had bowls of Paxlovid sitting where dinner mints would be.
That would be rough, that shit makes everything taste like metal. Better than suffering though without it I suppose.
