    Even with the best medical care, Hantavirus has a 20% fatality rate.

    Let’s just hope that conservatives continue being so anti-vaccine… a few more pandemics with human-transmissible highly-fatal viruses and maybe we can get that socialist utopia that the right always cock-blocks us from achieving.

    Just so everyone is clear, this is total bullshit — I understand MTG has had her broken clock moments but she’s still batshit insane.

    This doctor was previously suspended for vaccine misinformation and now has a complaint against her by the texas medical board for numerous violations of professional conduct, including prescribing medication without ever meeting or examining a patient.

    She filed a defamation lawsuit against the hospital which she lost. Ouch. Best of luck to her in keeping her certification, and in finding a new job! She should become trumps personal dr.

    I really hope we don’t have a pandemic. Hentavirus has a 30% death rate. Being against masks, against vaccines, having fadigue of lockdowns would kill at of people

      We won’t. This virus is only transmitted in close contact. None of the the science-based community I follow are worried, so I’m not worried.

        Some variants like the Andes strain are developing the ability to be human-transmissible. It has been recorded jumping from one human host to the next in prior outbreaks. Once it evolves to be trivially-transmissible, all bets are off.

      This strain is spread by close, intimate contact. Keep mice and rats out of your home, clean up their poop with a wet paper towel if you find it. This will help prevent poop dust from being kicked up, which is how the virus is typically transmitted.

      Yes Hantavirus is scary. You can pretty effectively protect yourself, and if you walk in somewhere and happen to spot mice poop just chillin — politely inform whoever is living with mice about what I just told you and leave.

    Invermectin does that in vino. BUT In vitro, inside an actual human body, the amount of ivermectin required to create that effect will kill tHe patient. So no, its just not a viable treatment.

      in vino.

      What does wine have to do with it?

      In vitro is in the lab, literally “in glass” (e.g. a petri dish or test tube). In vivo is in the living organism. In vino I guess not very much survives at all, the ethanol concentration is too high.

        Actually by sheer volume they were taking all the horse paste away from the horses who needed it so rural supply stores had to lock down their supplies for only people who could prove they owned livestock.
